>>106782073More reliable than normal ones since all the consumer ones are CMR. Helium SMR exists but it is host managed SMR and almost entirely enterprise datacenter only.Only problem is that data recovery is harder since they have to be unsealed, like a can of sardines. But running z2 arrays is cheaper than any sort of professional data recovery.Oh, and avoid WD Golds, they cost almost twice as much as Seagate or Toshiba. WD has a huge price problem nowadays, they are not worth buying.

>>106782073Not very reliable on account of having to tie them down so they don't float away
>>106782073Sounds like a bunch of hot air
>>106782103>Seagate
>>106782232So they don't lie very well?

>>106782583no but they're perfect for cloud storage
Don't do it. I tried it for my media server and when I tried to watch Law & Order they all sounded like the chipmunks.
>2025>still using hddsssds have been dirt cheap for over a decade now
>>106782969HDDs are significantly cheaper. Storing media on an SSD is absolutely retarded
>>106782073The large drives need helium or they get too hot with air friction / all those platters. I just shucked a wd elements 8tb drive my boss was chucking out and it is an ex hgst cmr drive but filled with air and slowed down to 5400rpm. It runs pretty hot but is good for backups.smr drives shouldn't exist, their only purpose is to make hdd's look very bad.
>>106782804Ayy
>>106783394I should add that i shredded the drive (1 pass) because who knows what my boss had on there, its also a good enough test. Took about 15hrs.
>>106782969>HDDs: 10€/TB>SSDs: 60€/TBQuestions?
>>106782969Dirt cheap my arse. If I migrated my storage over to SSDs I'd have to pay like 3000 USD for the drives and that's on the low end.
>>106783495>15 years uptime. no problems.When I bought this drive, I picked one with less platters, less spinning, less heat generated. Odd Samsung HDD. Before that tsunami came and jacked up prices for a while. Still saves all my music on it just works fine. Try this SSD
>>106783394>a WD Elements 8TB drive>>106783802>Odd Samsung HDDDo you have the model number?>>106783469>Took about 15 hrsDo you recall the wipe speed?

>>106782142why do you even come here, go chat to a clanker
>>106783394>I just shucked a wd elements 8tb drive my boss was chucking out and it is an ex hgst cmr drive but filled with air and slowed down to 5400rpm. It runs pretty hot but is good for backups.I had one of those. They are only useful with active cooling.

>>106783939>Do you have the model number?It's right there on the picture>Do you recall the wipe speed?15 hours for 8TB comes out to around 141MB/s which is about normal for a 5400rpm drive, it can probably reach around 180-190MB/s peak.
>>106783939shred didn't report speed but my shitty maths says 148MB/s.>>106784006I had it out bare and it felt around 40C after running all day.
>>106784229>my shitty maths says 148MB/s.it would come out as 148148148 byte/s, if you divide that by 1024/1024 you get 141MB/s.
>>106784055>141MB/s>>106784229>148MB/sWhich wipe program?
>>106783939it says right on top of it, higlighted on the top box: Samsun hd103uj
>>106784730i been meaning to replace it lately with a 4tb wd red drive i just cant make myself do it.. I make backups of it occasionally. its only used to save app backups, music, drivers, stuff for computer, hacks, stuff like that.
>>10678459915 hours (54000 seconds) for 8 terabytes (8 000 000 000 000 bytes) is 148148148 bytes per second. Divide by 1024 twice and you get 141 MB/s.>Which wipe program?He already said he was using shred.
>>106782073Wait till you hear about methane filled hard drives.
>>106785722xD I remember you from the last threads.
