I was thinking actual hard drives, not SSDs...
Okay, so ... then maybe really look into the Seagate Exos drives. 20 TB should be pretty much fine for most selfhosting adventures.
I have a few of those, and while the ones I bought have worked out fine so far, I think it's worth cautioning people that they are annoyingly loud doing basic operations.
that wouldn't be a problem for me, as my server is located in the basement. But good to know!
Absolutely. They’re advertised for being used in datecenters, so I assume noise optimization wasn’t a concern for Seagate when creating those drives.
