Keep in mind data recovery vs drive size. Getting past ~16TB drives, it starts to become a question of whether the rest would be able to survive a restore of a failed drive if any are going to have remotely similar endurance. Obviously, the answer is going to be "yes" most of the time, but at a certain point, there are deminishing returns on the cost of the drives to where even a one to one price increase in the HDD per size might not be worth it all the same.

Kinda' a moot point if you're not going to raid them in any way for reliability, but worth a thought.

I've described this terribly, but Level1tech on YT talks about it sometimes in reviews.

This is me when I'm trying to be helpful after a full day of coding and my 2nd dose of Adderall has worn off. props for still telling him a brief overview along with where to find the info

[-] CucumberFetish@lemm.ee 6 points 10 months ago

What's wrong with their comment? Straight to the point, no unnecessary info.

[-] Cinner@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

There's nothing wrong with it at all. That's why I gave them props for still giving all necessary info because search engines are a shitshow for things now. They just seemed like they were mentally drained but still trying to help I thought that was cool. Also possibly/probably projection on my part.

I was mainly basing it off of the quick rundown no unnecessary info and them saying that they described it terribly. I was just relating to it yesterday after I got off work and was drained.

Hopefully you're filled now, I am! As a fellow developer, I totally got your comment.

[-] Cinner@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

I am once again full, friend! I'll never think about 'feeling drained' the same again 😅

[-] noobface@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago

Rebuild time? Yeah it'll take about that long.

[-] db2@lemmy.world 41 points 10 months ago

So you mean like literal piracy, you heisted them?

[-] cali_ash@lemmy.wtf 73 points 10 months ago

Yes, it was a chinese container ship. Resistance would have been futile.

[-] jj122@lemmings.world 19 points 10 months ago

I just got 2 of these (x22 version) for my Jellyfin. Supposed to be here tomorrow! I don't think I could drop $1k for that many.

[-] Ramenator@lemmy.world 10 points 10 months ago

If I could actually get those for 1000$ I would do that. Just spent 260€ for a new 16tb one...

[-] chimasterflex@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

Same except 4 of them. I ended up buying from serverpartsdeals though. recertified for $210 each. Had a small hiccup on my first batch but they came in quick and made it right. Now all my useless data has a home

[-] cali_ash@lemmy.wtf 3 points 10 months ago

I don’t think I could drop $1k for that many.

I wish I could have ... storage is apprently way cheaper in the US.

[-] SinningStromgald@lemmy.world 15 points 10 months ago

Super jealous. Half for storage and half for backup or just going all storage?

[-] cali_ash@lemmy.wtf 19 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

The idea is going for raid5 so that should be around 100TB of storage, minus the OS and apps, etcs. But easily 80TB+ net storage.

[-] zib@kbin.social 13 points 10 months ago

I use a 1tb ssd for the os/apps with my raid5 strictly for storage. Kinda nice if the os needs to be reinstalled or I want to migrate the raid cluster.

[-] cali_ash@lemmy.wtf 1 points 10 months ago

but that means you need to give up a bay slot for the system sdd, right?

[-] zib@kbin.social 5 points 10 months ago

In my case, I use a PCI card with an m.2 slot for my OS drive. I lose a PCI slot, but I already had a few to spare.

[-] IrateAnteater@sh.itjust.works 3 points 10 months ago

That would probably depend on case, motherboard, and which (if any) pcie slots are occupied.

[-] Maximilious@kbin.social 8 points 10 months ago

With that amount of storage I highly recommend RAID6.

[-] fxt_ryknow@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

I'd do a pool with 2x vdevs, each with three drives in raidz1

[-] Maximilious@kbin.social 2 points 10 months ago

That's also a good option but I wouldn't with 6 drivers personally. I have a 12 bay array with two pools of 6 each running raidz2. I've run raid 5 for a long time but have had one drive fail many times and always have mini heart attacks while I wait for the new drive to come in and the rebuild process to happen.

[-] fxt_ryknow@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

I do this for expansion. I can expand the pool three drives at a time instead of 6. But, I set it up knowing the risk with a single parity drive...and I've acounted for that with backups. 👍

[-] mariah@feddit.rocks 12 points 10 months ago

40tb of santa cumming? Wow

[-] jenny_ball@lemmy.world 17 points 10 months ago

more like 120tb. and wow indeed!

[-] key@lemmy.keychat.org 4 points 10 months ago

There's 6 of them

[-] User79185@discuss.tchncs.de 11 points 10 months ago

I kinda expected nsfw ai generated pic of Santa ...

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 9 points 10 months ago

Are these hard drives or the beefiest SSDs I've ever seen?

[-] cali_ash@lemmy.wtf 15 points 10 months ago

I don't think 20TB SSDs exist, and if they do I probably couldn't afford one in a few hundred years.

[-] Nightweb@lemm.ee 17 points 10 months ago

Just gonna leave this here

[-] GreatBlueHeron@lemmy.ca 4 points 10 months ago

That was nearly 6 years ago!

[-] SkyezOpen@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

16 grand for the 64TB. The 100 just says "special order" for the price.

[-] rug_burn@sh.itjust.works 3 points 10 months ago

For the person who just can't part with anything.....

30tb SSD

[-] hellequin67@lemm.ee 5 points 10 months ago

€4200 with tax (give or take)

😭 when you realise your dreams exceed your budget

[-] tpihkal@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

You'd be surprised. I think the prices will drop dramatically after the first hundred.

[-] rambos@lemm.ee 5 points 10 months ago

!remindme 100y

[-] WeirdGoesPro@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 10 months ago

So…anywhere to get a bulk deal on these, preferably in a pack of 6?

[-] cali_ash@lemmy.wtf 10 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

I work at an IT company and we regularly supply hardware to clients. So I got these at B2B retail prices. My boss basically just handed me the bill the supplier issued to the company and said "you pay it".

[-] WeirdGoesPro@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 10 months ago

I’ll give you tree fiddy.

[-] TheControlled@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Serverpartsdeals on eBay. I think that's their name. Pretty sure they only ship to USA though. At least that's what non-Americans on my favorite tracker always complains about.
