It also includes laser discs and tapes.
>>108838482And save icons
>>108838482Anyone with a home server/NAS have plenty of those, they arn't going anywhere
Really sucks they're trying to make us keep everything in the cloud where it can be analysed, modified and put behind a subscription.
>get a 2TB HDD>it has 1.8TB usable space>money srolenThe fuck /g/ friends? I didn't pay for this.
>>108838524during manufacturing of drives they test the drive to see if all sectors work and if any of them don't they remove them from the disc, fix them and then add them to other drives :)
>>108838515ThisOP is just one of many that's lamenting because something isn't mainstream anymore. Not even that it's gone you go over on Amazon and get a brand new 4tb or something right now.
>>108838482Good riddance. In my experience, SSDs are unironically more reliable than HDDs ever were.
>>108838668>I've never needed storage : the post
Define lost technology and how HDD applies.
>>108838482>lostI have 4 18tb zfs pool hdd for my stuff, and other hdd (total of 12) of different sizes that I use on 3 servers running home to do all sort of shit of movies music and allthe hdd price inflation is artificial, to force people more and more into saas to track you and cancel you whenever needed
>>108838482outdated technology thread?
>>108838482They are stupidly expensive, because every idiot wants their own copy of the internet, to feed it to their AI. But they are still being manufactured. It is very likely that production will only increase and in a few years if something happens to AI boom, these will cost almost nothing.
>>108838482The weird thing with storage is that the legacy mechanical drive is still cheaper than solid state. When we look at displays, it doesn't compare at all. CRTs went obsolete in like 5 years, and other display technologies got incredibly cheap to produce.
>>108838482CRTsManual Transmission CarOptical disks (stuck at 100gb max, 25gb per layer)Consumer tape medium for archive
>>108838920I have an NetApp AFF all flash storage appliance, just don’t be broke
>>108838482Displays capable of displaying motion
>>108839325>Manual Transmission CarYou must have never been to Europe. It's still the standard for new petrol cars.
>>108839391Wrong. Maybe in your Eastern Europe shithole country that’s the case, or you’re too poor to afford a brand new car.
>>108838482>Lost technology that will never become available again.the fuck you on about retard?
>>108838482picture unrelated
the n64 analog stick.

>>108839384I remember trying to buy one of these on Ebay right before Linus Tech Shit made his shitty video about this monitor, and the moment the video came out the seller told me he couldn't sell it to me because it was too cheap. Fuck my life
>>108838482HDDs are still used. Tapes are still used.
>>108838532man, i have boxes full of bad sectors. do those ultrasound washes work?
>>108838920What an idiot.
>>108842432COBOL is still used.
>>108842266sovl
>>108838482>hdd>will never become available againDelusional
>>108842467HDDs, tapes and tape drives are still being produced though
I just use external hard drivesmuch better for cold storagemuch smaller than these internal driveseasily available and the people's choice of cold storage off the Cloudwhy are you whining so much? Only a fool uses internal HDDs today when SSDs exist.
>>108844675Man i wanna get lto tapedrive for cold storage. Sadly drives are fuckin expensive
>>108844756why are they so expensive anyway? minidv camcorders proved that a cutting edge tape drive (10gb in 1995, around double the largest consumer HDD capacity) could be made cheaply and marketed to consumers
>>108844756just make 3 different backups on 3 different external hard drivesyou'll be 100% safe from any crisis scenariogoing ungabunga just works
>>108844880>>108844756just use regular audio or vcr tapes
>>108844908you can store digital data on them if you know what you are doing
