Why don't you have 10TB of storage, /g/?
Because I prefer to not lose 10tb all at once.
10tb won't mean much a decade from now, definitely. But right now, that's a LOT of space to use, meaning a lot of space to lose all at once
It's gonna be cheap, I think.
>>51644906
CAn I poke a hole in one of these and snort the helium to get high?
>>51644906
I have a LOT more than 10 TB of storage. Last count it was about 30 TB.
I'm just not stupid enough to put it all on one HDD where a single failure will take out everything important.
In a few years I'll upgrade to whatever new tech is available then, probably 8 x 100 TB SSDs in RAID 6, using about 5 total watts when active.
I don't need it.
>>51644932
Yes, but cut it 10/90 with nitrogen.
>>51644906
>Why don't you have 10TB of storage
I do, just not all on one drive.
>>51644906
what the goddamn hell would I want 10TB for

>why would I want a 100gb hard drive
Literally fuck off from the technology board
Science has gone to far this time.
>>51645206
I always had the TV on while I was using the computer. Sometimes I watched the shows, sometimes they were there for background noise. Now I just have every episode of every TV show I watch on shuffle stored locally on my server. Shit's convenient as fuck and I don't have a cable bill anymore
Loudest thing in my case in my hard drive, I hope to god SSDs get to HD level of price per gig so I can have a dead silent computer

hoarding anime
>>51644906
I can't wait for the day these things drop to 100bucks a pop, having 12TB spread around 11 drives with no backup has me on edge, I'd like to grab a couple pairs of these for storage and backups of the storage when they become cheap.
>>51645226
How is that even an argument? We are talking about present time. The fact is, you don't need 10TB now. Whatever will happen 10 years later is not important.
>>51644906
But I do.
>>51645206
porn.
I barely keep my porn on a 1TB drive, I keep deleting it, recutting it so I only have the good parts, even re-encoding to HEVC.
I know eventually, my porn collection will be so well optimized to only include irreplaceable gems that I will need to buy more storage, and then more.
Porn is like space, it's a never-ending void that you can travel through forever.
My body will fail me before I've seen all the porn.
>>51645356
Are you a 30 year old wizard already?
>>51645334
what in the fuck takes up 12tb, and don't say pictures of waifu.
I recorded gameplay from a game I've played for 5000 hours, recording almost every game, I have a bunch of movies and a shit ton of pictures, I have multiple seasons of various shows, but I don't even get up to 3TB

This.
at some point all the people will realize that hoarding movies and shit is not worth it anymore, or hard drives get so big that there is no need for it anymore or they have downloaded everything they wanted, and then the whole industry will crash, because piracy kept them alive for decades.

I had an 80GB drive 10 years ago and I did have the need for more than 80GB for sure, you fucking faggot, and I was 11 years old at the time. I was simply making a question because I literally have no idea on to why you'd need all that much storage you shitfaced retard.

According to Backblaze, HGST. This one.
I've been waiting for these to set up a btrfs array under RAID-6. I really hope the price isn't an absolute pisstake.
What is the best size to get?
the best bang for you bucks?
>>51644906
I've got 6TB over 4 2TB HDDs in RAID5.
I haven't used it up yet.
I've had HDDs fail on me (one at a time thankfully). Luckily mdraid was very considerate and immediately sent me a mail informing me of this problem.
My next step is creating a mirror/backup in a different location, not increasing the amount of storage.

It's not like most things are going to suddenly get bigger just because videos will.
Shit like images and music are either going to be smaller than they are now or the same.

That shit is triggering my chemistry-OCD.
>>51648548

RAID5 is supposedly "unsafe" with drives that large, though I'm not sure if there was any legit research/experimentation done in that direction to determine if it's true or not. Statistically, it could be.
>>51647414
>Maxtor
aka Seagate.
>>51644927
>>51648496
Who says you have to Raid it?
It would make for a nice mirror backup.
You can have a 10TB Raid with 1TB drives + redundancy, then just have the 10TB WD drive as a backup of that raid.
Of course you obviously shouldn't ever raid it or use it as your main drive. The entire point of these large capacities is archival storage, aka BACKUPS.
>>51648615
Sure, it would work for that, but I'm curious about $/TB you get with one of these or if you can get a better deal with smaller drives, I imagine you could.
This means these are only useful if you are limited by physical space or by the number of SATA ports. Could be good for enterprise shit (what it's aimed at anyway) but probably not the best choice for home use.
>>51648563
It's a generally agreed notion that anything above two terabytes is really bad in RAID5. The chance of misreading a bit approaches 1 at that level.
I hardly use 16gb of space, let alone 10tb
even my google drive which has 1.5tb of space only has like 2gb in it
>mfw 1 TB drives failed twice on me
>mfw 3 TB drive still runs fine to this day
>>51644906
Because I have 12 usable across 6 3tb drives.
>>51648524
Next year the 16th ssd comes out. Ssds still have significant scalability where hard drives do not.
>>51644906
>10tb of storage
>on one disk
>>51645277
They're headed there quickly. The SanDisk ultra 2 960gb is surprisingly affordable.
>>51645467

>>51650873
I know the theory, still, that means that it's essentially impossible to read all the data on such a large drive, RAID rebuild or no. Yet I'm sure lots of people (me included) have often done shit like backing up a drive or transferring large amounts of data with no failures occurring.
This means that you cannot read all the data you have on the drive, so you're being sold a storage device that cannot read all the data it stores. This is pretty retarded and you'd think those errors would come up pretty frequently with the number of large HDDs in the wild.
The figures for the bit error rates may very well be HDD manufacturers covering their asses and/or only relevant for HDDs that are close to death.
So I'd really love to see some actual experimental data proving that rebuilds on RAID5 are actually unsafe, IF the other drives in the array are healthy.
>>51645206
Give it a year or two and AAA games will be 100+ GB
I like that HDD technology is progressing well but I do not like that processors have not advanced much in the past few years. Have we reached the most we can get out of the current design?
>>51651481
Give it a year or two and we'll have 50 TB HDDs and 10 TB SSDs.
>>51651803
I think at this point all we can do is add more cores and improve cooling to make CPUs super overclockable. Like a 16 core running at 6 ghz or some shit
Why a normal user would want that I don't know
>>51651803
>Have we reached the most we can get out of the current design?
Intel only wants to profit and AMD has been failing hard.

HDDs arnt going to get much bigger. maybe 100GB
SSDs you just add another bit to the memory controller and you just doubled storage capabilities
>>51648497
why not JBOD?
safer and easier than raid0
>>51652664
i was joking
raid0 is only ok when you either;
- have the dataset mirrored in some way as well, for example, a periodic rsync to a safer volume
- actually don't care about the data, like a scratch disk
1TB M.2 soon comrades
Then 2TB
Then more

Helium is the 2nd most common element in the universe .

Stupidity is the first, and apparently you decided to stockpile the majority of it.
>>51652993
we sell helium at a huge lost
Maybe when we get fusion reactors, we'll have a surplus.
>>51652993
In this universe, yes. Not on this world.
>>51652993
If you are willing to mine Saturn or the the Sun then yes, its really abundant.
What is helium used for anyway?
>>51645206
I'm at 36TB and that's with Australian internet.
>>51645356
You need to put that collection somewhere anon.
>>51645277
Hard drives are 5c a gig, SSD's are at 25c.
I honestly can hardly believe it myself.
I don't need that much storage right now. I'd rather play the waiting game for bigger capacity SSDs. Samsung is already planning on 4TB SSDs and Toshiba is batshit insane with 128TB in a few years http://www.kitguru.net/components/ssd-drives/anton-shilov/toshiba-128tb-ssds-will-hit-the-market-in-2018/

Technically it's 40 SSDs in RAID-0 inside one 2.5" case
>>>>51649509
>>51653819
Silly anon, of course it's for anime. Here's a peak of one of the 4TB drives.
In total: there's about 6TB of anime, 800GB of roms, 300GB of PC vidya, 285GB of mango and chinese cartoon drawn porn, 57GB of pictures, 221GB of music, and the rest on other things be it books, software, etc.
For real though, two of the 4TB drives are for local backup. One 2TB external is for backup of the boot drive and miscellaneous things.
Why though
You're never going to watch 95% of your films again
>>51648497

Seriously, unless you are a certified autistic shut-in who avoids human contact at all costs, 1TB is overkill.
>>51654381
He's talking about the drive dying you dumbfuck. If that was supposed to be a joke it was not funny.
>>51654444
By the time the drive dies you shouls have copied it all to your new 50Tb drive.
and if the user fucks up and wipes it, then it's their own fucking fault.
Awesome. Now just have the price on existing 6TB drives come down to the $150 range. I have 6TB across 5 disks and want a single disk backup.
I assume the whole helium filled part is to reduce air drag across the disk? These drives are going to be pushing 15k rpm i assume? Are the disks 3.5" or 2.5" like the raptors?
