Yeah I'm stuck on the "expensive" part still. I built one, but very quickly ran out of storage. I'm looking to buy some 18tb drives but holy hell they are expensive.
Well, I'm running 9x 20TB drives ...
How much were they? And any regrets?
Around $340 each. Not so far, but I did just hit 70%, I have to think about expanding soon ...
without asking you to incriminate yourself.....
I always wonder: what the hell is everyone saving so much of?
like I do photogrammetry sometimes and even then, if I backup all source imagery, I still won't fill a couple of terabytes...
Piracy. I have around 50TB of TV shows, 8TB of movies and 1TB of music.
ah. that would do it. yarr matey
What's your configuration, if you don't mind sharing?
12 Bay Synology NAS, with 8 of the drives in a raid 6, the 9th is a hot spare. A total of 108TB usable space.
Got a list of suggestions?. I have 50 tbh free and slowly doing a big clean/replace with prefered groups, would love 'forever' reccomends. Little tinfoil hat but looking to buffer the enshittification of commercial services.
I don't really have a system either. Obviously I started out with the shows I personally like and watch, but at this point I'm just picking up random shows I stumble upon.
That's useful thanks
