Hello! 👋

Well, largest this week. And

Yeah, $800 isn’t a small chunk of change, but for a hard drive of this capacity, it’s monumentally cheap.

Nah, a 24TB is $300 and some 20TB's are even lower $ per TB.

It will take about 36 hours to fill this drive at 270mb/s

That’s a long time to backup your giraffe porn collection.

That's a lot of porn.

I wanna fuck this HDD. To have that much storage on one drive when I currently have ~30TB shared between 20 drives makes me very erect.

with this I can store at least 3 modern "AAA" games

Defragmenting...

Seagate so how long before it fails?

Do you need it? Probably not. Do you want it? Oh, yeah.

I feel seen

Yeah, but it's Seagate. I have worked in data centers, and Seagate drives had the most failures of all my drives and somehow is still in business. I'd say I was doing an RMA of 5-6 drives a month that were Seagate, and only 4-5 a year Western Digital.

Sorry but without a banana for scale it's hard to tell how big it really is

This hard drive is so big that when it sits around the house, it sits around the house.

Imagine having that...then dropping it...

Me who stores important data on seagate external HDD with no backup reading the comments roasting seagate:

Pretty sure I had a bigger hard drive than that for my Amiga. You could have broken a toe if you’d dropped it.

That's a lot of porn. And possibly other stuff, too.

Makes me shudder. I have to replace a drive in my array, because it is degraded. It's a 4TB. Imagine having to replace one of these. I'd much rather have a bunch of cheaper drives, even if they are a bit more expensive per TB, because the replacement cost will eventually make the total cost of ownership lower.

Also, repeat with me: "Please give me a Toshiba or Hitachi, please"

Great, can't wait to afford it in 60 years.

I think if I needed to store 36TB of data, I would rather get several smaller disks.
