All Metal too! I don’t have a use for them right now but I’m sure I’ll find out something! (I have 14 of them…)
I don’t have a use for them
Not having a use for extra storage. Wow.
Anyway: !datahoarder@lemmy.mlglances at their 32TB NAS
No I’m not.
I’d always get industrial or enterprise hardware. It’s just better.
It’s also significantly more expensive 😭
Secondhand stuff can be really cheap if you know where to look, but the drawbacks are usually power and noise.
Especially for hard drives. 8TB SAS drives are down to about $45 a piece.
Brand new enterprise-grade 8TB drives are more around $180 new. Meaning as long as you have redundancy (which you should anyway) then you can lose four used drives before it stops being worth it. Not to mention drives get cheaper so if your $45 drive dies 2 years from now you could probably replace it for $35 etc.
What’s a good, reputable source for those cheap 8TB drives?
Ah, you found the flaw in this plan.
Hey it’s me, your cousin…
My family might grow exponantially with all the cousin ahah
Yeah, it’s crazy how many cousins WE have . . .

Also, SAS -> Serial Attached SCSI
Only 1.92 Tb? But 12Gb/s 😊 nice, like half of the speed of my internet 😂😜
😮wait, nonono, internet is only 25Gbit/s not byte, woops
