This bad boy can hold 400 TV shows at 40 gigs each, 8,000 movies at 2 gigs each or a proportional mix of the two. With this thing I'm set for life but actually my first external hard drive stopped reading all the files after 10 years. So basically I'm all set for 10 years where it only took me a month of saving up to get it. I got mine for $300 off Amazon but because I applied a coupon I'm afraid I got a Black market counterfeit version because it makes cheapo sounds when it's operating and doesn't function properly when I pause and restart a video. Nonetheless I'm still extremely happy to have it since I simply copy any videos to a "Videos for Pausing" folder on my desktop before watching.What do you all use for storage?There were some sketchy FBI implying pictures in the product description so I saved those to caution myself not to get careless with interracial shit. Even cable TV is turning interracial which is why I want to download so many old torrents.
Interracial pornos revealed
Hello? FBI?
They're often faulty and die, you know. Need several of them to be safe.
>>101537775I've never understood why people buy external HDDs like this when they could just buy a regular HDD and picrel for cheaper.
image not fully rendered but you get the idea
>>101537982what's that called again?
>>101538109enclosure
>>101537823i have one thats really slow and made horrible sounds when i used it heavily but despite that its still working 3 years later
>>101537982The price is the same.And i have that eerie feeling that a drive built for an external enclosure will be able to handle hot plugging better than an internal one, that is supposed to never get its power cut during operation.
>>101537982That isn't even necessarily true. WD easystores are most known for being shucked because the HDD inside is cheaper than buying it standalone.
>>101537775>400 TV shows at 40 gigs each, 8,000 movies at 2 gigs eachHoly fucking goyslop.Now that's a warehouse of slop to keep the söy flowing.
>>101537775>no RAID>no backups>"set for life"
>>101538540RAID what? Do you have anything to RAID?
>>101538477i do wonder what they put in those. you know what the expensive one is but these could be validation rejects
>>101538705People have theorized on this for ages now but none of it really matters. People have had shucked drives including myself for almost 10 years now with no issues. I still have the shucked 8TB Red labeled drives from back in 2016 working just fine.
>>101538477sadly it's getting harder and harder to find cheaper easystores or seagate expansions and their standalone versions
>>101538807Yeah I've noticed people have started switching to refurbished drives. I don't need to upgrade but that might be the route I take considering easystores haven't gone on sale for a long time.https://shucks.top/There used to be a sale here every 150 days or so.
>>101538760they might only show their problems on heavier workloads. i have one that idles fine and handles light workloads fine too but its extremely slow under load and starts making scary clicking noises. thats why i don't seed public torrents rn
>>101538908Well my test would be one of the best use cases since they're all in a NAS with 99% uptime for 8 years. Saturates my 10GbE. Seeding on multiple trackers ofc.
>>101537775What garbage quality are you storing your shit in?The complete collection of Patlabor alone takes like 400 gigabytes
>>101538040If you need to render the image I'd expect to see 20 terabytes in use out of 200 from some sort of engineer database but maybe that's what you meant.>>101538477That's the sort of inside scoop I'm used to seeing although it doesn't make me too confident about the lifespan of my drive.>>101538482You'd be amazed by the amount subliminal messaging you can fit in a Hallmark card.>>101538338After about 5 years I'll get a preventative maintenance one so that should do the trick.
>>101537775For me it's porn.
