Who /storage/ here?
this plus a 15tb google drive
3TB HDD I bought on Black Friday arrived today. Still have to cash in on the warranty on a WD Black that died a few months ago.

What the hell do you people need so much space for?
>>51677945
damn nigga, what you gonna do with all that HD porn?
>>51678641
the world is ending, you have to prepare.
Sure.

>>51679249
why bother naming your hard drives that if the drive letters don't match?
>>51679272
They used to, 2 motherboards and 1 case ago.
>>51677701
How does it feel to be on an OS that doesn't even have LVM?
You could be combining all those volumes into 1 big volume.
>>51679279
It takes literally 20 seconds to change drive letters. Don't pretend you have anything better to do, change them.
>>51679295
1 minute so far to change Hotel to H.
>>51677701
>not even as big as the $500 raid i setup back in 2010
>>51679329
Welp, you're already in the menu. What's another 10 minutes you're already wasting on 4chan?
>>51679280
lol dude are you implying Windows doesn't support spanned volumes?
pic is my setup btw
two ssds in raid0 for OS/programs and a second disk for mass storage
>>51677701
I'd be more interested to know if anyone on /g/ has NO storage. Even normalfags store files...
>>51678492
>>51678445
>5TB of anime
Kill yourself
>>51679335
Can't do T, need admin access apparently.
Running headless.
Thinking of installing an mSATA SSD
any recs as far as good value for an mSATA SSD?
>>51679364
just get one of these

What's that personal safe thingy, anon ?
Disks are about 8 years old, still going strong.
Upgrading to RAID5 4x 2TB and an extra 120GB SSD in RAID0 once I get my end-of-year bonus.
Still in doubt if I should go 5x 2TB in RAID5 and a SM951 M.2 256GB SSD, any thoughts, /g/?
>>51679391

>>51679396
>Actually using intel fakeraid garbage
>>51679410
I use Intel fakeraid and the results are far superior to when these drives are not raided
Not sure why you would waste money on a hardware raid controller lol
>>51679410
Well sorry I consider this good enough for normal desktop use.
I'll order a 1000 euro Areca ARC 8x SAS controller just so my photo's will be backed up faster... fag
>>51679377
>>51679386
this is for a laptop, mini-SATA
I'm thinking of this maybe, for $70 it gets me up to about 500GBs total, the 500GB version is also tempting

I also have a USB 3.0 1TB HDD, i put large media i only need to access all at once on it.

You can do it natively in Windows. I'm not even spanning my drives, mine's raided
>>51679499
>Can't boot off spanned volume.
>>51679512
can you boot off lvm?
>>51679520
yes
>>51679520
Yes.
You need to use Grub2 and put LVM in your initcpio though.
>>51679536
Can't do it without an initrd image?
kek
raid is better in every way, even on loonix
I've had the same 500 GB HDD for like 10 years and never filled it up, except for that time I downloaded all my Steam games at once.
>>51679555
You're refering to hardware raid right? well ofcourse hardware raid is better than any virtual volumes implementation.
Or maybe you mean software raid too? if so, explain.
>>51679568
>Or maybe you mean software raid too?
I can boot Windows off my software raid + bretty sure it's faster than just spanning two volumes
>>51679428
>>51679430
I take it you've never had a drive fail in one of those arrays. The controllers do the "Array" part fine but not the "Redundant" part.
And decent RAID controllers that are far better than software garbage can be as little as $100, and that will have a battery-backed write cache too.
>>51679582
Are you sure your Windows isn't just relying on some Windows equivalent of initrd?
How is your software raid implemented?
This raid array took around 36 hours to initialize.
This old LSI controller hits around 750MB/s read and I am limited by my gigabit network connection to 120MB/s. What's the cheapest way to get 10gbit between them anyways?
>>51679595
intel fakeraid
>>51679661
>>51679595
btw I don't really know anything and was just arguing for the sake of it. Wanted to point out to some guy that the feature of LVM he liked was available in Windows.
And yeah I'm sure Windows has some sort of initial ramdisk it uses but the leetest Gentooers will laugh at people who need an initrd image because it implies they used genkernel
>>51679661
That isn't really software raid.
That's BIOS assisted software RAID.
>>51679587
Actually, one of the drives "failed" recently, They are completely out of warranty, so I just readded it to the array, it rebult for two hours and now it is working fine again.
Smart-values show no pending sectors or anything weird, just a power-on time of almost a year.

34T .
>2015
>not having 20TB+ of movies
>>51679349
I favor windows, but bow to linux's vastly superior network transfer speeds.
I was full on 3 of the drives until the other day when my 4TB finally came in the mail.
Got everything reorganized yesterday so i've got plenty of breathing room for the time being to download more anime.
Private trackers are a blessing and a curse. At this rate I will need another 4TB in ~6 months.
>>51679629
>What's the cheapest way to get 10gbit between them anyways?
team a shitton of cheap gigabit cards or try and find a 10g card

why would you keep a movie you have watched.
And why would you have a movie you haven't watched yet.
>>51678511
>he doesn't know that this is a Vietnamese basket-weaving forum
>>51682526
>why would you keep a movie you have watched.
so you can watch it again
>And why would you have a movie you haven't watched yet.
so you can watch it without having to stream it
Too lazy to get it together and screenshot.
>256 GB SSD
>500 GB HDD

>2x 1TB external HDDs
And a few others that total to about 1 TB together.
>>51682526
i like collecting movies. i always have them available in case i wanna watch them (again).
want to get one of those fancy seagate 8TB drives after new year,
>people buying multiplatter drives
why?
I'll be enjoying my WD blue 1TB.
New computer, two new externals.
Wiped my old ones.
Starting out fresh.
>>51683585
And when I say "new" I mean "6 months old".
>>51683504
HGST just announced 10TB 3.5" drives.
They are the Helium sealed drives though, and cost a decent chunk of change.
>>51683554
Is there honestly any huge advantage using single platter 1TB drives vs. say a 4 platter 4TB drive using 1TB platters?
256Gb win10
500Gb windows trashcollecor
256Gb Gentoo
3Tb Gentoo shit collector
