I have just bought 8TB drive, but thus time I am using it ONLY to backup and store stale data, so far 1TB cleanes from my main SSDs. Wish me luck.
I just pulled up NewEgg, and saw a 24TB for $319. I need to level up!
You can get a cheap QNAP 4 bay with 4x 12-18tb refurbished enterprise drives for a 36-54tb RAID5 for like sub $800 (as low as $600) tbh. Donโt know if you have the budget for that but the speed will be faster and youโll be solidly protected from data loss on the unit.
You could even do a 2 bay with like 2x 24tb for a combined 48tb or backed up 24tb for idk $400?
Whoa-Dang! I foresee a business expense in my office's near future. FWIW, I've been pondering setting up a server, for various projects.
I set up my first RAID5 a few months ago and let me tell you it was trivially easy. Donโt regret it for a second. I have not shifted my server over to it yet but that is in the works.
For context itโs a 42TB RAID5 (4x 14tb ultra stars) and all in I was like $650. I got really lucky during Black Friday and got those drives for like 110 eagles a piece or something
Thanks for the encouragement.
Good luck! Holler if you have any questions. Though most of the stuff is pretty easy to search luckily
Well thank you! I have various parts & peices, that I think is sufficient to set things up. I should say, I'm not in the Linux environment. And from what I've read it looks so much easier than it would have been in the 90s when I started using computers in earnest.
My wife got me 8 TB about 3 or 4 years ago. It's awesome. My Blu Ray library is on it and I still have 5 TB free
