Inb4 drive failure
3-2-1 backup rule
meh. i have triple redundancy including an offline set. cheap storage means cheap redundancy,
It's $100 for 4TB right now.
But once you factor in RAID and alternating offsite backups, it's really $400 for 4TB.
I go through all the older stuff I pulled from the internet. A lot of it can't be found now.
There's currently little reason to choose SSDs over HDDs when you're talking about bulk storage for media. HDDs have plenty of R/W speed for this purpose and are a fraction of the price. New, you can buy 8TB drives for around $100 or used/refurbished (from somewhere like serverpartdeals.com) you can buy 14TB for $150 or even 20TB+ for $250.
My raid has an nvme bcache on it, so it's still fairly quick.
$100USD is just what it costs in Australia, because we get screwed for price over here.
yep, dirt cheap. all about perspective. my first hd was 40mb and cost 250$
e. oh, and you can get solid used 4tbs in bulk for ~60$ now
Haha remember when CD burners came out and a $5 CD-R had the capacity of a $200 HDD?
The kid with access to a CD burner was the king of the playground.
