Lower your voice when talking to me.
>>108695857>he doesn't have a server
>USB-Ayikes!
>>108695857i have one of those drives and it stopped working when i bumped it a little bit. so much for being "portable"
>>108695857Why not a NAS with 2.5Gb+ Ethernet at that point?
>>108695857>portable storageWhat kind of boomer shit is that?
>>108695857>hard drives>portable storagea small bump is all it takes for you to loose all of that data but sure, I bet a retard like you has proper backups... surely...
>>108695981I was debating on NAS, but I do occasionally travel, which is a use case handled by NAS. I do actually have a NAS somewhere in my home, but I can't be bothered to go through and shuck these drives to load it up. Realistically, these drives are going to spend 99% if their life at my desk.
relevant thread to my interests.I'll be in Greenland for a few months soon, and I need some 1-2TB external drive... should I just get a Samsong T9 and be done?
>>108695857>data hoarding Yes we get it, you’re storing ‘p.
I've never figured out why people think they need so much data stored. I literally have months of compressed satellite imagery stored on my hard drive and it fits in less than 100 MiB.Just zip your files or something.
Why would I want that much portable storage?I have a 500GB T7 and two 1TB T7s for when I need to move shit around quickly.Bulk data is stored on non-portable drives.
>>108695981why spend hundreds of dollars on a NAS device and not just sticking the drives in your desktop PC?
>>108696261Because you might want to access the storage somewhere else other than at your desktop.
>>108696261looks cooler in pictures.
>>108696278why? just share it from your pc.
bro step your game up can't be living like this this some peak esl shit
>>108695857Nigger, I probably have 16tb of micro SD alone
>>108696295A dedicated NAS is generally better for 24/7 reliability, data redundancy, energy efficiency, and low-maintenance file sharing, while using a PC as a storage server can consume more power and requires higher active upkeep.
>>108696349shut up hippie
you still plugging in drives? Micro-B? boyyyy.....
>>108696349>data redundancythis retard thinks raid is a backup lmao
>>108696703>this retard thinks raid is a backup lmaono, but it's a way for people to not completely lose everything. Not everyone can afford a cold storage solution like LTO.>inb4 offsite backupsdefeats the purpose of self-storing.
>>108696723>it's a way for people to not completely lose everything...how exactly does raid help you not completely lose everything the moment you accidentally delete something, or the power supply in your nas goes bang, or your entire filesystem or something acks itself? ransomwares also exist, raid protects you against disk failure and nothing else.>the only way to have a proper backup is LTO...nigga what>offsite backups defeats the purpose of self-storingwell not having a proper backup strategy defeats the purpose of storing
>>108695857Wtf how is that usb hub not overloaded? Can it really spin all of those up? Which one is it?
>>108695857Notice how most of these are slow ass usb A external drives?
>>108697043There's nothing wrong with usb external drives. 120 mbps is all you need for this type of storage. You don't play games off of them.
>>108697043as opposed to? usb C external drives?what difference does the connector type make, are you retarded?
>>108697080type c is the future . I dont want to bring a specific cable to connect a drive .
>>108695857>portable storageSilence normie fag.
>>108696905>accidentally delete somethingzfs snapshot, not a problem>or the power supply in your nas goes bangremote backup>muh ransomware1. You'd need to be a retard to get one on your nas2. zfs snapshots.
>>108697123...surebut that has nothing to do with the speed and you still haven't explained how the two things are related
>>108697123Type c shouldn't be the future though... It's the future because of retards like you preferring it for some reason because you're a retarded retard that's retarded.
>>108696027>Samsung T9Depends.Do you have too much money?
>>108697123>discontinued cable standard from 2028It's 2031, why aren't you using USB-DD?
>>108695857Those 5TB 2.5" HDDs are a horror show reliability wise, don’t go above 4TB in that form factor
>NAS is for 24/7>HDD used 24/7 will die after a few years, even if unused, due to mechanical partsnas is a silly idea for most people, just plug in the drive when neededif you want a nas splurge on ssd, those will last you a lifetime and without all the clickity clacks
>>108699646most hard drive stress is from power cycles though
>>108699646>those will last you a lifetimeOR 6 months.You can write to an HDDs platters indefinitely, so long as the mechanical components still work. And if it stops working and you want to erase the data just run a big ass magnet back and forth on it.But SSDs have a finite number of writes per cell, once you hit that number, it's read-only from then on and you won't even be able to delete your furry porn from it either.
>>108699759>won't even be able to delete your furry porn from it either.Brutal
>>108695857I had ~34TB before going for NAS
>>108699638I had one 2.5" WD 5TB fail last year. Luckily all it had on it was pirated anime which was easily replaced.
any storage can be portable if you're brave enough
>>108699834Is there data storage that isn’t portable? Even weird shit like tapes are mobile, it’s the tape reader that takes up spaceyou might not want to carry around a 3.5" drive in your pocket but it’s not all that large, even the average noodle arms gtard could easily carry twenty of those
>>108695857>16tbLmao u need to lower YOUR voiceTry 60tb
>>108695986>192.168.1.184>not a static IP under .100 for a server while reserving .100-.254 to DHCPdisgusting
>>108703570Literally who cares, that's the IP the router first assigned to the server and I just set it as static.
>>108703580Acually that was a joke anon. I don't care about that either. It's a joke amongst it-students.
>>108696261some shitty sbc with ethernet + hard drives ≠ hundreds of dollars
>>108695857Why do you need more than 1tb? Let me guess, porn, tranime and some jewllywood movies.
>>108699759>You can write to an HDDs platters indefinitely, so long as the mechanical components still work.that's a pretty big catch you know...>ssds have a finite number of writes per cell, once you hit that numberwhich is like 2 petabytes of writes for most ssds, impossible to reach in actual use, you won't even get anywhere close to that>it's read-only from then on(if you're extremely lucky)>and you won't even be able to delete your furry porn from it eitherliterally just break the nand chips in half, or throw the controller (which contains the encryption key) away, I don't understand why you're acting as if it's impossible to delete data from an ssd once broken, can't tell if it's satire honestly.big magnets don't erase hdds either btw
>>108695857I have 16TB seagate that look exactly like those in the middle. But mine needs separate power cable to work. How the fuck to you power it using usb alone?
>>108703725>can't tell a small 2.5" drive from a 3.5" oneare you retarded? yours is like 4 times bigger
>>108695857>16TB>Acting high and mightyThats not even the size of a single drive in my tower
>>108699534SAM ALTMAN AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Is it true that I am only allowed to get HDD space in even numbers of storage?That somehow odd storage numbers can cause troubles in the ones and zeroes calculations of something in the long run.
>>108695857I have 56TiB of storage across 8 drives and over 256gb of DDR4 ECC ram betwixt five serversThe laptop that connects to them has 128gb of DDR5I could go on but more importantlyDelete your entire thread
>boss knows I’m a digital hoarder so he gave me two 30TB u2 ssd drives when the server was being upgradedthanks boo
>>108696261Building my NAS and setting it up was the single best learning experience I've experienced in my life
Thoughts on my WD Blacked HDD from 2016?I think I should retire it in the summer even though it works.
>>108706990>reallocated sectors>current 200>raw value 0000000000000000000explain to me how 000000000000 becomes 200 because i am stupid
>>108707006I don't know how to read these properly. I will ask the robot.>That's actually good news. On WD drives the SMART attribute value works inversely — 200 is the best possible score, meaning zero reallocated sectors. It's just WD's way of reporting it, different from Seagate which shows the raw count directly.>So your WD Black has no reallocated sectors despite its age and hours, which is impressive. The concern with that drive is purely its age and hours, not bad sectors.
>>108707193I need to put some more instructions to the machine. For some reason I don't like it when it says by itself"That's actually good!". "Wow, impressive drive."Just give me the theory dry without humanistic expressions..
>>108707213
>>108695857so you're homeless?
>>108695981>2.5GbEyou are like baby
>>108703570>assuming 24 bit netmaskgrotesque
Is this kind of dick size contest?
>>108703601ha ha. So funny.
>>108696205>60TB in a desktopPretty based
>>108707006The "Current", "Worst", and "Threshold" values reported by S.M.A.R.T. are normalized qualitative values, that is they don't indicate the actual number of sectors, etc. Instead, they are intended to indicate "how good" or "how bad" that metric's value is on a scale.you are literally looking at completely irrelevant metrics that have no effect on the actual reallocated sector count (which is 0).
