How can someone without programming skills make a cloud server at home for cheap?

Debian, virtualmin, podman with cockpit, install these on any cheap used pc you find, after initial setup all other is gui managed

Raspberry Pi or an old office PC are the usual methods. It's not so much programming as Linux sysadmin skills.

Beyond that, you might consider OwnCloud for an app-like experience, or just Samba if all you want is local network files.

How many platters?!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

30 to 32 platters. You can write a file on the edge and watch it as it speeds back to the future!

The two models, [...] each offer a minimum of 3TB per disk

Huh? The hell is this supposed to mean? Are they talking about the internal platters?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

More than likely

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

Here i am still rocking 6TB.

These things are unreliable, I had 3 seagate HDDs in a row fail on me. Never had an issue with SSDs and never looked back.

Haven’t bought Seagate in 15 years. They improve their longevity?
