Do you think data hoarding is real? I sort of think so, I have 5 hard drives, two are filled to the brim with random images and media and the other is 2TB of anime.
What about you?
Got 300gb of linux distro iso's
Not sure whether i actually need them
>>52380028
I have about 4tb of movies and tv shows that I've accumulated over the past year.
Some of them I haven't watched, nor do I intent to. Just got them on freeleech and wanna retain that sweet seeding bonus.
>>52380028
Yeah. I often think to myself that I need to clean out my old files. Especially ancient backups of things that I haven't needed in a decade.
>>52380028
Considering you don't have backups this is definitely real. You don't care about the data but you still want it.
>>52380028
I have five terabytes of porn, all of which is backed up.
in the far future when the surveillance-industrial complex, SJW democrats, and evangelical republicans have all conspired to censor the internet, I will be distributing my collection to others in secret so that future generations of teenagers will know the tradition of fapping to pirated JAV, just like I did
>>52380028
check some of the HSG threads and you will know if they are real or not.
personally, I used to be a data hoarder, not so much right now since i've deleted most of my unwanted shit, I only kept:
-movies
-tv shows
-wallpapers
-Hr pictures art, war stuff, space stuff too
-useful software and games
Still I need to sort and do a catalog of 30gb of ebooks and 200gb of porn pics. funny thing is...I've deleted my porn folder more times than I can count but it keeps coming back, man
>>52380028
I stopped saving things when I realized that everything is redownloadable faster than it would take me to index and find anything already saved.
>>52380028
Yes. Though it's not always bad to keep some things. Most entertainment can be easily found again even without the use of private trackers.
>>52380028
>he only has 5 harddrives
right now, i have 25TB movies, 11TB TV series, and another 2TB programs/games/random shit.
If it wasn't for the hoarders there would be no content.
No, I only use my pc for work and productive things.
Whoah, the thought od wondering how many people such as myself regarding this has been on my mind since I've bought my 2TB HDD a month ago. I have 1TB of anime, I need a lot more storage space regarding that. I have about 70k artwork pieces(around 90k with the ones I since yesterday, due to having only 500MB remaining, must transfer on to my PC library from my phone, and in an orderly fashion(everything sortet, e.g. Vocaloid/Hatsune Miku, Touhou , Kantai Collection/Ecchi++, etc.)).
So yea, atm. I've got a capacity of 3.5TB, and I am on the need of at least 4TB more (backups are mandatory, I don't backup anime though).
>>52380028
I'm hoarding more than I used to.
Piracy just gets worse and worse.
I backup everything I download, just in case.
Who knows maybe our hoarding will save the internet after it all becomes DMCA'd.
I hoard 2TB of Porn. If I had more disposable income to buy more HDDs Id would do it.
>>52380274
what is it called if you have backups and care about the data then
Too poor to afford real hording.
Now completely out of space because I just grabbed 179GB of Blurays to encode a series for someone I don't even know.
You're all plebs.
After 5 years i've used 150gb of my 250gb hard drive
And i haven't even deleted anything
>>52380028
5 TB full with TV programs & films. Will list when im home.
Yes data hording is real. I have a friend who literally saves everything he sees.
Benefit - has loads of cool game emulators for literally every console
Negatives - Deleted his family's backups just to get more space
>>52380895
Does he have that complete MAME rom collection with all the CHDs?
>>52380376
You are a true hero
>>52380793
>d wondering how many people such as myself regarding thi
so you dont watch movies or anything? and you must have deleted temp files
>>52380028
I got multiple hdd ranging from Quantum Bigfoot CY 6.4GB to modern 4TB hdds.
I got 75846 individual comics archived + 180GB pending archiving.
I got 2x3TB of quality animu.
Also films+tv series+games+OSs.
I even got a whole copy of yande.re (>1TB).
Yes I would think hoarding is real and should be considered a disease.
>pic is 4x3TB+1x4TB.
>>52382066
this fucker is using some sort of anti-gravity device
m8 the US is gonna invade your shit and steal your oil
It will take me 167,423,219,872,854,268,898,191,413,915,625,282,900,219,501,828,989,626,163,085,998,182,867,351,738,271,269,139,562,246,689,952,477,832,436,667,643,367,679,191,435,491,450,889,424,069,312,259,024,604,665,231,311,477,621,481,628,609,147,204,290,704,099,549,091,843,034,096,141,351,171,618,467,832,303,105,743,111,961,624,157,454,108,040,174,944,963,852,221,369,694,216,119,572,256,044,331,338,563,584 terabytes of storage to store every kilobyte possible.
That is, every combination of 1 and 0 1024 times; each separate; with no sort of compression or overlapping.
My hoarding may take a while.
My data hoarding addiction went away when I got Google Fiber and I was able to re-download pretty much anything I wanted in minutes.
Heck I'm sitting at 256Gb just to store every possible 32 bytes, not mentioning file system bloat
5 JBODs of "linux ISOs"... I'm thinking about taking the plunge into building a NAS because right now it's kind of a clusterfuck, 2x2TB shitty poorfag WD NAS, 2x2TB greens and 1TB black in my desktop. Would like to build a 10TB+ NAS soon.
>>52380793
kinda agree.. I may have 4x2TB harddisks of loaded stuff with films/serials / random old pc backups / animes / more random stuff and I only take the hdd with the tv shows once in a month when I finally have a little free time to watch a few episodes;
other than that, my /home/dir is maybe 2GB (not including steam and music library and other .hidden folreds)
I had 10 terabytes of random shit, but I decided to stop hoarding stuff I'll never look at again and only keep the best. Trimmed it down to about 4 terabytes.
>>52380028
Yes
I hoard terabytes of dank memes
not sure what's the point since I don't post any
I have 9 TB of space. Filled at about 60%
Must save everything.
Everything.
>>52382334
I save all /dev/random output.
Just in case.
>>52382092
zozzled hard
I've had to purge a few times but I keep going back for more.
I've got what's approaching a TB of music (with most of that in MP3 no less), more manga that's unorganized than I've ever REALLY intended to read, more anime than I've watched (with some encodes probably old enough to be replaced), and TV/movies.
At least I'm not anal enough to have complete Redump and MAME CHD sets yet... but with how availability gets to be sometimes I wonder why the fuck not.
Took me long enough to realize my Steam games really aren't going anywhere, too.
>>52380442
>everything is redownloadable
I lost some good porn, man...
I used to have 13TB of tv shows, films, games and anime. I deleted it all last year because I am never, ever going to rewatch any of that stuff.
I'm tempted to get 2x more 4tb disks for my 4 bay NAS to make a raid5, but I don't have any disks left over for backup.
>>52380746
Apple Time Machine :^)
4x4TB WD Red
2x3TB Toshiba
3TB Toshiba usb3
Ideally you should buy drives from different manufacturers for raid to lower the chance of both drives failing right? Whats an equivalent drive to a WD red?
>>52380110

No thanks.
>>52382066
The possibility of one of the drives failing doesn't concern you?
>>52382153
This is all well and good if the other end is also on fiber and can upload fast enough. There is plenty of stuff that ends up with 0 seeders too.
>>52383419
Everything is backed up once. In fact the pic 4x3TB hdd are 2x3TB + their backups.
I do not have the money for a third backup but if the size/price trend continue then I think I will be able to start an offsite third backup soon.
I made a FlexRAID but now even that is full and I have movies and TV shows on various USB and internal drives. If they go bang oh well. I can always grab them again at the expense of losing some ratio.
>>52382153
M8 I have a 150mbit connection and can barely max out any downloads other than well seeded torrents.
>>52380028
Matt?
It's not hoarding. Data is not taking up any more physical space than a fucking computer would anyway. Is a library hoarding? Is Netflix hoarding?
Even if I had 200TB of data it would not be hoarding.
>>52380376
What you described sounds a bit like north korea
>>52380376

I got a 512 megabyte hard drive, Western Digital caviar 2540. Last time i used it i installed puppy linux on it and not a single issue, unfortunately i dont have a computer with IDE headers anymore
post data hoarding setups
Repair guy here.
My personal stash:
1x NAS with 5x2TB (8TB useable) for personal backups
2 x 3TB, 8 x 2TB, 15 x 1TB external drives for movies and vidya
PC with 2 x 2 TB, 2x 1TB
Laptop with 1 x 2TB, 1 x 1TB
10+ external drives below 1TB
From my repairs/donated/salvaged stash, I have:
4 x 3TB
20+ 2TB
50+ 1TB
And 100+ 750GB or lower drives, mix of SATA,SCSI & PATA all the way down to a 2GB SCSI hdd from 1998.
>>52384231
What do you do with such low storage drives anyway?
>>52384153
>tfw got my 2x3tb drives today for my porn mirror
Feels good mang
>>52384311
Make sure you protect your precious data with a nice self-healing filesystem.
>>52384515
>self-healing filesystem
Such as?
>>52384525
Zfs, btrfs, refs etc
>>52384525
zfs or btrfs. I'm currently using 6x3tb hdds in a zraid2 setup on a debian vm on my desktop.
>>52384515
I have quite a strange setup. I don't use raid of any kind, just JBOD. I sync the 3 sets of 2 disks myself using freefilesync. That way I always have a before/after copy and can undo anything I want. I have full control and oif something happens I can pull one of the disks out and connect it to any other machine in my house and it just seems.
I also use shadow copies.
>>52384525
btrfs
>>52384251
I use them to repair peoples computers.
Also, when people have a dead hard drive, if I have the same model, I can replace the drives board and get it running, and in one case I replaced the platters and it spun up long enough for the guy to get his files off it.
>>52384631
>replaced the platters and it spun up long enough for the guy to get his files off it.
You are a good repair guy.
>>52384631
Unless you have specialised equipment, there is no way in hell you can replace platters in a hard drive
>>52384722
If a set of precision screwdrivers and torx keys are professional tools to you, then yes, I agree.
>>52380748
>local disk not named "194"
ya dun goofed up
>>52384631
Aren't platters very fragile ? I don't see how you could do this.
I have a 4TB NAS That is getting full and another 4TB in my desktop with all 100+ of my Steam/GOG/Origin games installed.
I also have a ton of archival DVDRs and CDRs
>>52384847
They aren't physically fragile but very sensitive to dust, fingerprints or anything else you can think of.
With a bit of luck and preparation you might actually be able to swap some platters.
>>52384847
It isnt something you can do without preparing for it.
I use my bathroom, I run an air purifyer for about an hour, run the shower for about half an hour, and that will get rid of most of the dust.
Open the hdd (using undusted latex gloves) remove platter on new hdd, replace with old platters.
Now you have to work quickly. I just fit the top back on, plug in, spin up, copy your files.
The hdd WILL die quite quickly after opening it, but it ahould survive long enough to pull what you want off it.
>>52385096
How swappable are the boards. I assume they need to be the same model? I never really considered this option for recovering data. Does the drive just spin up and read or do you need to use recovery software?
>>52385376
Boards are much easier. Make sure they are same model. (On rar occasions, you will have to have the same firmware version)
One platters are replaced, plug drive in, and use just like normal.
Please be aware that if your original platters suffered from a head crash, or you can see scratches on the platter, then there isnt much hope for the data.
>>52382625
DAMN FOOL
>>52382625
You could have seeded that, how selfish.
As long as you're properly dating, naming, labeling, and organizing the data it's fine.
<- this is what plebs actually believe.

some pleb-tier anime, a handful of movies/TV shows that I like, a giant folder of 4chan pics, a music folder that's really small by most people's sandards, some other junk. but all told all this non-porn stuff adds up to only a terabyte or so. but I have it and it's backed up too
I'm a fellow hoarder myself but recently I've started to give cloud storage the cold shoulder
You see, all my hard drives are full disk encrypted and there's really no cloud storage with encryption that doesn't cost a small fortune.
I've been looking at a 128GB flash drive from Samsung, shit only costs 40 bucks and like any other flash drive, it can be full disk encrypted. The big plus here is that you can just clip it onto your keychain and then it becomes kind of like an offsite backup (if your house burns down and you're outside, you probably have your keys with the flash drive attached in your pocket). Another advantage is the write and read speeds. I have 100/100mbit/s internet but i only reach 300KB/s to 3MB/s upload on all the major cloud storage providers kek
You can synchronize and update folders with programs like FreeFileSync etc (with the mirror preset)
>>52389012
well you can always encrypt locally. If your data is encrypted with a key only you hold before it hits the wire, there's nothing untoward the cloud provider can do with it except lose it.
>>52380028
What I hate about data hoarding is my habit of randomly backing disks up on newer, bigger disks.
Then when browsing a drive you suddenly find last year's porn stash right out in the open.
I'm waiting for sub $300 >4TB SSDs to migrate my files to. Until then, 4TB HDDs for me.
>>52380028
For me its not real
Im not a possessive person and i usually dont care too much about losing or deleting all those 0s and 1s
You can continue in your enterpreneurship, dude
but
and I am sorry to open up your eyes to the grim reality here
one day you'll realise that in your whole life you won't be able to see all the porn, the games and the animuh you collected.
That will be the day you're on the top of your bell, where the y is the interest in shitty digital life.
Then you can choose...
>>52380028
I have 8TB in my server with around 4 filled.
I'm planning an NAS with 4x4TB HDDs in RAID10 with tape backups
>>52389984
or crack it
Not much really, only 4 TB of porn in case they ever ban porn. 8 TB if you count the fact that I have a backup of my 4 TB porn.
I can't simply download most of the stuff I obtained years ago. The sjws keep shutting sites down. It's already happening.
Currently only 3TB.
>>52380028
When my hoarding started to occupy more than 2 TB I trimmed it to 900 GB. And I'm sure I can trim another ~100 GB if I look a bit closer...
>tfw know my hoarding is obsessive
>can't delete it now, spent too long accumulating it
>tfw wish I was just free again and just consumed things on the go in the moment

I have 12TB of media (music, movies, tv shows) and another 2TB of books (no comics) and another 4TB of anime (no manga).
yeah it's a problem
>badly want to data hoard and archive everything
>shitty new zealand internet
>>52380028
About 16Tb right now
1x4Tb
3x2Tb
3x1Tb
2Tb external, plus various large USB keys, other older assorted drives that I don't have space for. Plus a 120gb SSD for my primary/OS drive.
Huge amount of HDTV and Bluray movies, probably about 4Tb worth of Rainbow tables and password lists for hash cracking and various brute forcing.

>not buying disks in pairs

Freefilesync is fucking awesome. I have been syncing 6 disks with that software for years. Fuck raid.

lmao you can get fibre in most NZ places, it beats australias at least
My 2GB hard drive has 2GB data on it when I bought it and 2GB data on it today. It can't hold more than 2GB of data, so no. Hoarding does not exist.
>>52392077
2GB or TB? is it from the 18th century?
>>52383417
Google Fiber is the ultimate botnet. They literally track and analyze every bit of data you ever download/upload (unless it's encrypted). But they still know every domain you ever visit through Google DNS. They know every email you received or sent. They know everything you ever searched for.
In exchange for what? So that you can shitpost at 10 Gbps?

ok so this is pretty cool, i've just gotten badass fiber internet so i was looking to add my hoarded 1080P rare movies back for seeding. Apparently there's a lot of active leechers but no seeder until i re-added mine. I gave life to them again
neat
>>52392723
Has a green failed you yet?
>>52392881
Nope. Green 3x 1TB and 3x 2TB, all working fine.
Oldest is probably 6ish years? I honestly dont remember.
The Others are a 500GB 840EVO, and 2x 1TB Blacks.
I actually havent had a SATA drive die on me, ever. A few older IDE Maxtors, WD and Seagates have died, but that's about it.
>>52380028
4TB of porn, 6TB of TV, 5TB of movies. 2TB of other random shit.
>>52386977
>still using 4.2
v5 is stable now senpai.
>>52392962
Oldest is 8 years, apparently got it in 2008.
Shizuku says it has been powered on for 27168 hours.
Doesn't sound bad when I say it that way.
I have older drives but not WD Greens.
>>52392962
Are those green drives the same that have super aggressive spin down parameters?
>>52393259
That can be hacked btw, to disable or increase the timer.
>>52393259
Not sure.
WD20EARX, WD20EZRX, and WD20EARS are the 2TB Greens.
>>52380028
I just bulk downloaded several hundred images from a booru that I'm never going to look at again, so I'd say that it's definitely a thing.
>>52393282
From my understanding is that's the only thing that separates a Blue from a Green drive.
>>52383547
Yup, for most anime after a year or 2 it drops to 0 seeds. I only hoard rare stuff that I might never be able to dl again.
>>52393381
Greens are extinct actually, they were merged into the Blue drives.
What you mean to say is that's the only thing separating Blues from Reds :^)
And the extra year of warranty of course.
>>52393392
Not taking account any firmware differences
>>52393406
Firmware is slightly different but the most important change is honestly the head resting one, if you disable that they're very similar. Physically they're not really different however they have been accused of being bin sorted.
>>52393423
That they seem to be identical physically with just different software is pretty fucking retarded and underhanded.
>>52393423
>accused of being bin sorted
They better be in they say the RED's are meant for server use.
>>52393438
Yeah it's disgusting. Thank god the price gap closed, it used to be like double the price to get Reds and all that was different was they loaded a different set of firmware and gave you an extra year of warranty.
Frankly I won't ever be buying them, I'll just stick with hacked Blues.
>>52393454
Yeah but that's based on their firmware not their physical attributes.
>>52382092
must be Australian.
I'm kinda into the data hoarding phase because when big brother locks down the internet, i want to have everything at my disposal.
I have cut back. I used to download every album i found, now its mainly ones that i am looking forward to hearing. I tend to download all the smaller foreign movies to keep.
>fell for the WD Red meme
>get 4x4tb £125 each
>over a year later, yesterday
>receive my 3tb Toshiba's for £65 each
>7200rpm, shitloads faster, no louder and run at the same temperature as reds.
>>52396985
In raid the extra speed from 7200rpm isn't going to mean shit senpai. But yes Reds are a meme, get Blues and hack them.
>>52397081
I don't use raid. They do get bogged down quite easily with random read/writes though.
>>52397140
Then why the fuck would you buy Reds. They're for RAID set ups, even WD doesn't say to get them unless you're RAIDing.
>>52397150
Because I have a microserver with a xeon e3 1260v2 and 4 drives packed into a tiny case, thought I'd have more thermal issues but the drives never go beyond 32C whereas one of my externals reaches 45C easily.
That and they weren't the cheapest or most expensive drives and performance isn't really an issue.
>>52383110
why 3tb and not 4
i have 4x2tb wd blacks in my case which i plug in to backup every 6th month.is this a bad thing to do? can somene tell me how to store hard drives not being used and whats generally the best between 2 vs 3 vs 4 tb?
>>52396985
Ah, but what about the power consumption anon?
>>52397277
>4.2W vs 5.2W
Difference of one fucking watt and I think 2-3 decibels during seeking.
>>52397199
>3tb toshiba £65
>most 4tb drives £110+
>>52397277
It's literally a meme. I spent hours comparing drives and even among WD drives the labels barely make sense. The green eco drives use more power and are louder than red drives for example. If you're gona call something green you better make sure its the coolest and quietest drive in your own lineup.

The only thing I've data hoarded is like 100+ Wii game rips because I own them and ripped them so I could upload them to bitgamer for that sweet sweet ratio like 6 years ago.
>Bitgamer is kill
>tfw you have a VPN but no private tracker memberships anymore
My dream is to have the ulitmate HTPC though.
Which means torrenting every fucking movie under the sun.
>>52397631
Internal or remux only though right?
>>52397646
What
>>52397670
>wants to have the ultimate htpc
>doesn't even know what a remux or an internal is
>>52397581
its not just Seagate
>>52397682
Educate me anon.
I'm new to the HTPC shit
>>52397581
>just bought a 3 terabyte seagate extrnal
>>52397722
>Educate me anon.
Remux is a lossless Bluray rip packaged as an MKV. Internal is an encode release made by a private tracker group to appear transparent to the remux but be much smaller.
>>52397742
My interest is mainly in classic films so I settle for DVD rips.
I still buy DVDs and rip them, simply because it's fucking hard to find some of the movies I want on public trackers that aren't YIFY shit.
>>52397692
Source?
No backblaze pls.
>>52380028
Yes it's great so if something disapears from the internet it has a chance of being reuploaded

>>52397431
But costing an extra 10p to run a year per disk could be significant if you have enough disks!
>>52398089
Yeah if you're running hundreds or thousands of drives. On top of that, if you did have that many they better be actual enterprise drives and not rebadged green 'nas drives'.
>>52398074
How many disks do you have in total?!
>>52398110
i lost count but i have probably spent close to 10000 dollars aud on hard drives in the past 3 years. estimate to be around the 50 drive mark
>>52398151
God damn we get so screwed on HDD prices here.
>>52398151
>tfw trying not to blow my inheritance on a fuckload of server hardware that I don't need just so I can play with it and shitpost on /g/ with my raid 60 setup
Fucking kill me
>>52380028
The urge is increasing, considering building a mega-nas or a whole cluster of servers to to throw shit into.
>too bad I'm poor
>>52398158
Where are you? UK prices are fucking disgusting. I think the only ones that have it worse are Aussies and kiwis.
>>52398151
$10k?!?! Unless your making money off that shit, get help man! ;)
>>52398178
He said AUD...
>>52398168
funny thing or sad is that i should be saving for another house deposit instead im fucking wasting it on hdds and raid cards and sas expander boxes to store japanese cartoons I can just simply stream. FML
>>52398178
I hate being a UK fag, VAT and import tax can suck a massive dick.
I wonder if I could go on a vacation somewhere with an empty suitcase and just fill it with hardware.
>>52398184
Must have missed that sorry famalam
>>52398207
You could, but there's always a chance customs or the the security services could sieze your suitcase full of disks.
Hey /g/ which HDD is best?
I usually go for WDD Black
>>52398180
my family just thinks it is a hobby, i am beginning to suspect it is an obsession
>>52398207
I think that works fine until they randomly check your shit when you arrive back home and charge you with the difference. I got pulled aside at the airport as I was the first to leave the baggage claiming area. Didn't have anything on me though.
Its certainly tempting considering mosdt hardware that costs £100 here costs just $100 abroad.
>>52380376
This guy is awesome.
>>52398230
>not selling your family into slavery to purchase more hard drives
Are you even committed to this?
>>52380028
I have two 640GB drives.
One is filled about half with a couple of files.
The other one is a backup drive.
>>52383417
Only for the hicks and hippies. Check their map. MFW :(
how do i into firewire harddrives
>>52398346
>buy hard drive
>buy firewire enclosure
>insert power and firewire cable

>prophet
Tbh I wouldn't bother with firewire, its slow and dated.
Which one of you cunts posted this on /r/4chan?

What the hell? Do you think this is any different from other ISPs? Use your brain.
>>52387063
>Why would you keep the movies?
Those are redownloadable.
How naive.
3tb hdd, 2tb, couple of 320gb 2.5". 512gb ssd, handful of usb sticks. Will up my ante once I get a house streaming project going.
>>52387063
>Those are redownloadable.
Yeah I thought that a few times until I started to realise shit disappears quicker than you think.
>>52398227
>literally grabbing the worst choice
>>52398473
>black worse than seagateshit
At least the blacks have a half decent warranty.
>>52398473
how are WDD black the worst choice?
>>52380202
This. I have a backup of my pc when i had 8 years old...i dont even know why i keep it... Shitty anime images and AMVs
>>52398486
Of the WD family family.
>>52398498
What's bad about them? Genuinely curious.
>>52398487
>>52398514
They're simply not worth the money. There's just no reason at all to buy them.
>>52398364
that's wrong you retard firewire is faster than usb 2.0
>>52398380
>browsing reddit
>>52380028
of course its real, hoarding of all types is real, animals, items, food, etc.
ive only filled 250 gigabytes of my single terabyte hard disk. I seriously don't know how people can fill up more, I am trying god dammit
>>52398585
:^)
>>52398585
Depends on what you're hoarding.
I have porn that takes 4GB per hour of footage.
That fills harddrives quick.
Or animus where 350MB 30 minute episodes in sets of 12 or 24, with 5-6 of these every half year.
>>52398646
why dont you delete the anime youve already watched? rarely will i finish an anime and think that i might want to rewatch it. most of them are plain terrible, i will never understand anime hoarders
I don't data hoard because I have shit Internet here in the Midwest and only get 25 megabytes download speed Max and commonly I get like 5
>>52380028
It is real. I have 120GB SSD in my laptop and I never needed more.
I stream all my media and my GIS work files are all on remote server.
I never understood why people hoard tons of 4k animu or TV shows, watch them once and never again.
>>52398729
>why dont you delete the anime
>>52398729
It means you don't watch enough anime.
I delete most anime I watched but still have 800GB of archived ones.
>>52398777
maybe you are right Lucky, ive got a backlog of titles i haven't gotten around to watching
>>52398534
Agree with that. Didn't know whether there was a technical reason. I think it's mostly gamers that fall for the black meme.
>>52398557
>480mbit vs 400-800
Which translates to firewire 400 being barely faster than USB 2 and firewire 800 topping out at ~70 which is still shit compared to USB 3 which is more compatible, much more common than firewire and can hit 300mbyte/s and more with UASP.
Most devices I've seen only use the shitty firewire400 ports too which is pointless.
Firewire is dead and was doomed from the start.
>>52398729
Who has the time to watch that much anime?
>>52398557
>usb 2.0
Also outdated though.
>>52380028
>and the other is 2TB of anime.
be honest, did you add that bit of irrelevant detail just to trigger people?
>>52380028
Yes it is real thing.
>bought a 2 bay NAS
>two 5tb drives in
>fill it up in raid
>switch to jbod just for the space
>nearing full
>already looking at 5 day solutions
I've started to rn out of shows and stuff to download that I really want, but now I've turned to upgrading all my rips to much higher quality. it never ends.
>>52383417
or a shitload of europoor countries, for the orientals.
>>52398899
>that lack of organization
>>52398899
How does bitcoin r34 work?
>>52380028
in 7 years I've gathered 1GB of images only.
I wish I had enough money to hoard shit. I've been considering upgrading to a 1TB HDD since 250GB is pretty bad.
>>52380110
That semen demon, man...
>>52397772
>public trackers
>>52394574

>98% full
I thought this was one thing you should never do on an SSD?
>>52399126
>250GB HDD
'considering'?
There is nothing to consider, go get a new drive asap
But that's just me, doesn't look like you'd use all that disk space
My 3TB Seagate Barracuda died a week ago, rip 2.5TB of Anime, Movies and series.
If I like a movie or tv show then I buy a physical copy, so I always delete them when I'm done
I usually listen to the radio for music, so I don't have any music stored
I think I'm using like 80gb on my 500gb ssd
>>52399700
Ogh yeah, I would use that space. Maybe I'll get a 2TB one if I can find something decent. I'm not American so HDDs cost more here. And I'm a poor ass student.
>>52397581
Toshiba 3TB and Toshiba 4TB and higher are literally made in different factories based on different drives
>>52399100
What the fuck is the point of teirs?
>>52398946
Are you me?
>>52401437
Yes
>>52398646
>mfw I spent 4 days on a 8 core xeon converting porn that was over 1.5gb per hour.
>mfw room for another 500gb
No fucks given. I don't need ultra tier quality to fap on my cheapish 1080p tablet or phone when I'm abroad.
>>52401819
I do the same shit.
>>52400412
Your point?
>>52399720
Should've had a backup anon!
>>52401876
I was too busy backing up your mom's ass on my dick
>>52401920
POW!! Right in the kisser!
hoarded and still unsorted porn
>>52380028
i'm the same senpai
i need to dl everything because it might get copyright niggered and taken down, and i don't know how long free movies etc will be around
>>52387063

this
internet control is real
i get everything i can
>>52401837
They have different reliability and performance. My 4TB came with a 3-year warranty, but the SMART info said it came with a 5-year warranty.
My 3TB is only a 2-year warranty and is slower in almost all aspects.
>>52398899
I applaud you anon.
I hope one day when the internet dies a death, I can see your massive collection uploaded and browse its' wonders.
>>52398899
