I just want to be able to buy 8TB IronWolfs for under $150 again. Is that too much to ask for?
>>109238068Stop being selfish. The drives you wasted storing anime and kiddie porn are now being used to uplift the entire human race into a new era of enligtenment. Your needs don't matter right now.
>>109238088KEK
>posted again awardWhy do you keep making this fucking thread?
>shartgateyoud have to pay me $350 to risk my data like that.
>>109238088Uh nice try, but I only store holocaust denial proof, archives, historical data, schizo conspiracies and movies that came out before 1980. I also sometimes back up full youtube channels cause I know jewtube will take them down. I also paid about 200 bucks each for my 4 12 tb hdds. I literally don't even need the internet anymore besides to reupload that 1TB terry davis collection
>>109238068Yes
>>109238136>>shartgateWhat fucking scandal happened now
>>109238159Did you back up this guy's channel before YouTube deleted it? There were so many gems.
>>109238192Sorry anon, afraid not, wish I had known about him
>>109238068Why do you need 8tb? There's nothing worth saving that needs more than 1tb
>>109238549oy vey! i cant believe my own son is demanding my last gigabyte!
>>109238549The extended editions of the Lord of the Rings movies in 4K are 150GB each. Now multiply that by hundreds of other great movies from the 20th century worth saving.
>>109238177he thinks ironwolf is as shit as barracuda
>>109238068>8TBYou need less. Think incredibly small. Use your phone's hard drive as a secondary backup. Convert your FLAC to Opus, etc. Buy a Game Boy.
>>109238088This but unironically. Fuck tranimefags

>>109239023Movies are the least worthwhile content to preserve. Unless it's something super niche, movies will always be available somewhere since they're the lowest common denominator and easiest form of entrainment to consume and obtain. Not to mention they're already heavily archived by the companies themselves. 150GB just to be able to see Frodo's pores in 8K is an insane waste of space.
>>109239101Some of these are genuinely good musical performances, enjoyable to listen to.
>>109238136That's what RAID6 or RAID1+0 is for. You don't have to trust it, just replace drives whenever they shit the bed.
>>109239023You think extremely popular mainstream movies like LOTR will become unavailable for some reason?
>>109240000raid is not a backup.
>>109240057RAID is tolerance to mechanical failure, which is the stated problem with seagate.There's only two other things that kill drives which are environmental disasters and retardation.The former can be resolved by not living on a fault line and in places that get fucking 20-foot snowstorms or flooding. The latter can be resolved by not being a retard.In any case, your backup cannot be on-site otherwise it's completely worthless.
>>109238068Stack physical silver if you want cheap hardware.No silver means they cannot manufacture hardware, so they won't have even for their own datacenters.They would have to sell you hardware cheaply to get silver back to be able to manufacture it again.
>>109238068I paid $250 for four 16TB drives last time I bought HDDs... I don't even get why these are expensive in the forest place. Any datacenter worth the seized land it's polluting isn't gonna be using mechanical SATA drives. It's gen5 PCIE all the way down.
>>109238068You should probably buy one now if you can afford it since it might be double the price this time next year.
>>109239023Better to just buy those movies you like on Blu-Ray disc if you're really interested in "preserving" them. A Blu-Ray disc is gonna last way longer than a HDD or SSD.
>>109239100No, fuck you. I need somewhere to store my system backups and archives of web pages and videos that were suppressed.
>>109240497Do you have locally stored proof that the holocaust was fake?
>>109238068>why is my shit hyper-inflated currency so shit?Same amount of silver could buy that drive today same as 2 years ago.
>>109238068AYO SORRY PHAM WE NEED ALL OF EVERYTHING TO BUILD THESE MASSIVE DATACENTERS NOBODY IS ACTUALLY BUILDING TO PROVIDE THESE AI SERVICES NOBODY IS ACTUALLY USING** NEW ** AND NOW AT A PRICE NOBODY CAN AFFORD
>>109239023I'll second the other post, may as well have archival BD sources and a mildly visual quality compressed storage that is like 1/5th the fucking size but still plenty good enough.And imagine we used to watch LOTR from shitass DVD on shitass CRT screens.
>>109238549I have 48 TB and it's full.Every single commercially released game ROM from before 2001. Every ps2, Xbox, GameCube game. Many 360, Wii, ps3, DS, 3DS, and switch games.Every Daz3D asset, model, texture. Several 3D modeling/posing softwares and all of their available assets.many of these are only available on obscure discord channels and will be gone soon. Hundreds of old adult oblivion mods that are no longer available.About 400 LLM and Image/video gen local models, and hundreds more LorAs. Many of these models and LorAs have been deleted from the internet already, some because the creator got buttmad and nuked their accounts, others because hosting websites got scared and banned them. Many legacy versions of Photoshop and video editing softwares. Flash libraries. SuperDeepThroat collection from 2010.Dozens of Siterips from femdom handjob websites from around 2014.A huge portion of what I have stored is just gone from the net. I'm waiting for a better decentralized alternative to the current internet to take form or for me to get old and terminally ill so I can upload them and not worry about any consequences.
>>109238177Some /g/tards think all consumer drives are trash and you have to shell out 500 bucks for enterprise drives.

>>109238068Should I get an 8TB IronWolf or an 8TB Red Pro?
I remember getting a 12TB for $150. Why are hard drives inflating so much? Don't datacenter cunts go for SSDs since they "need" the speed?>>109238192>gems>it's just some retard covering old songs, exclusively ones with le funny reddit slurs in them/pol/troon standards are lower than any other demographic in the universe, bar none.

how much is 8TB usb at car market
>>109247620Idk about a car market but you can get an 8 TB double ended USB stick from China for $1.68 with free shipping.

>>109238068AI is already a bust and there is no need for more datacentersbut it will take a while for the prices to go down
>>109238088>now being used to uplift the entire human race into a new era of enligtenmentYeah man that's the motivation of all the AI bro's: to help human kindIf you believe that you are beyond stupid
>>109239100kill yourself tourist
>>109240546CRT screens have vastly superior motion clarity compared to any modern screen, you fuckwit
>>109244757Something that never happens with journaling filesystems even without a UPS to allow graceful shutdowns on a power outage. I literally have not had a single filesystem on my machines shit itself since '02.Regardless, I'm classifying that problem under retardation. Try not running Windows or using -rc kernels on your storage box like an idiot.
>>109248735NTA, but file system corruption usually happens when a power off happens during the journal update after a power off.
HDD specialist anons, I have a question:How do you guys do a thorough full-disk check?I have a bunch of old disks and I want to see which ones are still 100% reliable.Also, do you usually buy used disks? If so, from where?
>>109241623>Every single commercially released game ROM from before 2001. Every ps2, Xbox, GameCube game. Many 360, Wii, ps3, DS, 3DS, and switch games.Based! Retro games have an excellent entertainment/byte ratio.>Hundreds of old adult oblivion modsThis is not as based.>SuperDeepThroat collectionCollection? Wasn't that a single flash?And how do you play it? I have noticed Ruffle can't play the latest version of it.
>>109250538It's probably best to treat HDDs as disposables.>obtain your data>create a torrent file of your data>copy the data to the target HDDs (two or more)>keep the torrent files on multiple other HDDs>use a torrent client to occasionally do a force recheck of the data on the HDDIf you keep your data on two or more HDDs, the torrent clients can connect to each other and fix each other corrupted sections.
>>109250605>corrupted sectionsDon't all HDDs do internal checksums?And if you're talking about file-system level corruption. Isn't it better to use a checksum based filesystem like btrfs, or some form of RAID?Torrents as checksums don't seem adequate when that's built into filesystems and other tools already.
>>109239023No movie needs more than 1080p hevc.
>>109238068sorry dude, we need it for AI
>>109250538A full write test with dd is the quickest way, but badblocks is more thorough but that will take days on modern HDDs. I just use dd myself on new drives to see if they survive a full write without errors>>Also, do you usually buy used disks? If so, from where?Local deals or diskprices.com when it was still around 10€/TB. It's tough for HDD users these days.
>>109238068this is HDD but it's now $267. I was thinking of buying like 6 of these at the time and I should have
I panic bought this a few months ago after reading a post on /g/. It's still shrink wrappedWhat do I even need storage forI just hate logging in... to anything
>>109238068>IronWolfsExos are better and cheaper. Ironwolf is for retarded boomers.
>>109244163You shouldn't get either since both of those are using 15 year old architectures.
>>109240105>Stack physical silver if you want cheap hardware.yeah, take silver away from industrial users to speculate on its price to get cheaper hardware...retard
>>109253013I'll give you 400 nigga.
>>109238068I have simply ascended above data hordingEverything I'll ever need is kept safely within my soul
>>109251582>ddBut that doesn't check if the written data can be read back correctly.I think I would prefer badblocks.
>>109253013Archive your favorite games, movies, roms, books, music, etc.Everything online will be gone soon.
>>109240043They genouinely might when "they" decide that these movies are problematic for one reason or another. Or maybe "they" will simply decide you shouldn't have access to old better media when you're supposed to consume New™ trash.
>>109240313This I don't get either. The only reason could be that it's a secondhand price increase caused by SSDs not being available due to datacenters.
>>109244271>Why are hard drives inflating so much?CollusionThe manufacturers are refusing to negotiate with anyone not in their circle.Also, their "ai" buddies want HDDs for storing all the information for the surveillance state.
>>109242841It's true. The ones they put in devices like laptops are okay. They ones that are loud as fuck, clearly intended not for a PC, they're okay.Anything that is shaped like an external HDD or says it's a PC harddrive is basically trash.It is similar to how binned CPUs (e-waste) are repurposed for consumer markets.
>>109250538Secure it firmly to avoid vibrations and make a full copy of it. Use loonix terminal to do that. You just create an iso basically, do the kind of a copy operation that never corrects any errors, if something fails to read, you skip it.This is how you make the most of a disk that may fail at any moment.If it works well, it works. If there are bad sectors, you let it fix itself. If it cannot, you can sometimes kinda fix that by doing partitioning tricks, to basically avoid damaged sectors and such. In such a case you should also make sure self tests that scan the entire disk are disabled.It's realtively simple stuff, but takes time and patience.
>>109253013To good to be true.>>109253013>It's still shrink wrappedMaybe it's broken or something?
