just got a 8tb hard drive AMA
>>55568199
How much cache does it have
>Seagate
Why bother with 8TB? It'll fail before you even get nearly that much data on it
>>55568199
For what purpose?
>>55568239
memes
>>55568254
>Falling for the meme meme
It is the current meme year. I sure hope meme you guys do not meme do this meme.

>i cant find the statistics so i'll spout a meme
fucking normies
>>55568289
>he thinks some hard drives last forever
>>55568199
do you not know how to delete things?
>>55568305
i've literally never had a hard drive fail EVER
the fuck do you cunts do to your hard drives, to make even the best brands kark it?
>>55568237
I've had a seagate for 8 years now, constantly using it, it never failed, still works perfectly today.
>>55568278
What does this even mean? All HDDs fail in 5-10 years unless they don't get used.
>>55568325
>8 years
how big is it?
>>55568199
you could have got 2x250SSDs
>>55568319
It is guaranteed that every hard drive will fail, in time.
Seagate gets a bad rep on /g/ because /g/ exaggerates differences in quality, and we have the inapplicable-but-still-used-as-a-source Backblaze study to fuel Seagate-gate.

1TB,but trust me, its been filled and emptied more than i can count.
>>55568351
the most based tripfag on this board, telling it like it is.
it's good to see your posts here
>>55568331
(you)
>>55568319
I don't even have much experience but I've already had two hard drives fail, one WD and one Seagate
>>55568417
i've had both and neither failed
explain yourself
>>55568199
>SMR drives
Fine for a dump of video and backup files, absolutely useless for anything that makes random writes
>>55568199
do you have backup?
>>55568471
for my movies and shows, yes.
>i have lots
>>55568199
Is it an SMR drive? If so, I hope you aren't planning on using it for anything other than write-once backup
>smr
>>55568199
i'm thinking about getting one of these for my security camera system. should be able to hold 2 months of footage from 8 720p 30fps cameras running 24/7
>>55568522
kek
I think i'll get WD Blue 6tb tomorrow.
should I?
anyone had any experience with these drives?
>>55568559
do it black are the best
>>55568199
An AMA? Because you bought an 8TB hard drive?
You're not that special.
>>55568804
He's your typical consumerist seeking validation.
>>55568237
I download all my movies and series in full Bluray ISO
>>55568199
Why didn't you buy the 16TB Samsung SSD instead?
do you another 8tb drive to back it up?
because it's going to fail in 5 or 6 years just like all drives do.
