What are some good options for mass media storage? Just multiple HDDs?
>>106955399just write it down on a piece of paper lol.
>>106955399Refrigerated SSDs, as in literallt store your SSDs in your refrigerator.You're welcome.
>>106955399clay tablets last millennia
>>106955399Platter drives are about to become more expensive than SSD's because of magnets. If you can find some cheap, now is the time to buy. Tape is another option, but its painfully slow and still requires a magnet. You might have to shell out a bit for the deck in the near future.
>>106955399Let me guess
>>106955644[Cication needed]
>>106955399Regular HDDs in RAID 1
>>106955399aws
500 1TB WD Element drives
>>106955757TL;DR SSD's are like tiny prisons for electricity and when these prisons are cold escape is very difficult.
The HDD I was gonna buy went up in price https://www.techpowerup.com/341015/western-digital-announces-hdd-price-hikes-effective-immediately
what are some good sources of hard drives? storage is expensive
>>106956116I wanted to get 2 16TB HDDs but prices went up, it sucks. At least I already got 2.
>>106956116if you needjust buy nowthe prices are only going to get worse
>>106955399Refrigerated JBODs
>>106956125https://diskprices.com/
>>106955708Was about to buy one then noticed it said "made in ThaLLand seems like a fake sticker no?
>>106956170people in my country are retarded and try to sell their used garbage for just under the new prices
>>106955708>>106956180
>>106956191Also all other pictures I could find of real ones say "PRODUCT of Thailand"Not "Made in thalland"anon almost fricked me out of my money
At this rate by the time Black Friday comes the prices are just going to be what they already were meant to be
>>106956180>>106956191>>106956259All the pictures of that model say "made in"Not that you should pay $40 for a 1TB HDD
>>106956276Black Friday isn't about discounts. Its about making cheap shit for that day and passing it off as normal.
>>106956282The only people selling that exact model are chinese and that one ebay seller.I dunno bro...
>>106956314It was sold on newegg to as a retail boxed drive.In reality it's an old drive not in production anymore and has been replaced with a newer modelThe current WD black 1tb in 2.5in is WD10SPSX
>>106956299Actually it's about offloading unsold stock on succeptable chumps that'll help correct balance sheets before they replace stock....They don't make the cheap shit just for 'black friday', the cheap shit is already there, they just re-price to sell off shit they can't otherwise to help push them into the black. Ofc they paint it in a manner that makes them, and you, come off a lot less desperate.
>>106956347There's no record of Western Digital ever making a WD10JQLX model. (stores selling fakes doesnt count)What do you make of that?
>>106956587It's not a drive they are proud ofCheck the number 9 footnote
>>106955399tape
>>106956647Yeah I think I found more data right before your post, it may be real. frick. I need a cheap drive for dualbooting cleanly.
>>106956657The low hour ones in that store are cheaper btw
>my old 8tb storage drive is on its way out>thinking about buying another one and RAIDing them til this one fails then replace it>the same drive I bought in 2020 is MORE expensive nowi hate this gay nigger economy
>>106955399I keep mine offline in a safe. I write down the individual binary numbers myself on paper.
>>106955399what do hobbyless anons like you guys need all this storage space for?
>>106955644Checked and I do this also. Extends lifespan quite a bit.
>>106955399matter
>>106956098just power them once a year or somethign
>>106957704>hobbylessAll my films and anime
>>106957723I will 100% fuck that up.
>>106955399optical discshdds are trash
>>106955399HDD thread: what do you guys use nowadays for defragging?
This shit got so expensive this year, wtf happened?I bought this same model for 110 eurocoins last year.
>>106955399too unreliable, i have a couple of dead seagates. i tried giving them a chance but no more.
>>106955683Is this a chink trade war thing?
>>106955399>hdd prices went up by like 75% over the last 2 yearsDDR5 and SSD next
>>106958458>gpucrypto then ai>hddai>ssd, high capacity ramai (soon)>mobosgreedI guess you can buy a good cpu for cheap nowadays but that's about it
>>106955399>good options for mass media storage?4TB SSD are sub-$200 nowadays
>>106958975>I guess you can buy a good cpu for cheap nowadays*Laughs in $140 5700X3D*
>>106958040Why is optical phasing out instead of making TB discs?
>>106958975>ssd, high capacity ram>ai (soon)should I buy then 64gb ram pair to be failsafe then?
>>106957097I've been buying 8TB Ironwolfs off Amazon. They keep offering me Interest Free Payment plans so I keep buying.
>>106955708i can get better quality 3.5" SAS drives with more capacity for less money.
>>106959291it's 128 GB, and to a lesser degree 96 GB2x32 might be impacted but probably not that much
>>106955644your storage can't get any colder than this
>>106955399Depends what you do. I for now compressed my entire movie database into AV1 which saves about 50-60 % storage. This way I could avoid buying a 20 TB HDD or similar. Its so good that I think of buying a 8 TB SSD whenever I find such cheap enough, unfortunately the 870 QVO skyrocketed and now you could buy a Lexar NVMe 8 TB for similar price.>>106956098I don't care much as they are 24/7 powered anyway.>>106958458I bought a used 6 TB for 60 €. Now i somewhat regret selling my 6 TB Ironwolf but it got me over 100 €.
>>106959291I wonder the same, in 2017 there were 4x4 GB DDR4 for just 35 € new, months later similar kits cost almost 200. I didn't have much money at the time but now I could afford going crazy.AM4 already got 32 full sticks, my AM5 has 2 x 32 but 128 would be pricy and likely not run well if at all, my server has 2 x 32 so I wonder if I should try to get at least 2 x 16 extra when I can get such for 15 € per 16 GB. Big modules tend to cost more. I don't 'need' the RAM, but it would come handy if prices really increase that I can make profit by downgrading.
i jumped into raid arrays lately its neat, next is to step into clusterfs's like gluster/orangefs (basicly networked raid)
A Seagate 1TB HDD I bought 5 years ago
