Try being a graphic designer or video editor. I've stopped running out of disk space and started running out of SATA slots on the mobo.

[-] stupidcasey@lemmy.world 18 points 2 months ago

Get a NAS, you should be using one any way, It makes switching computers extremely easy, you don't have to bother transferring hundreds of TB just install the apps you use and your good to go.

[-] deltapi@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

Got space for a PCIe 8x card? Get a lsi2308 and a set of SAS to SATA cables. 8 drives off that bad boy, and actually reliable unlike every single PCI or PCIe SATA card I've ever tried.

[-] FQQD@lemmy.ohaa.xyz 6 points 2 months ago

I did try both and I do, in fact have the same problem xd

[-] amotio@lemmy.world 40 points 2 months ago

I have just bought 8TB drive, but thus time I am using it ONLY to backup and store stale data, so far 1TB cleanes from my main SSDs. Wish me luck.

[-] Atelopus-zeteki@fedia.io 15 points 2 months ago

I just pulled up NewEgg, and saw a 24TB for $319. I need to level up!

[-] spicytuna62@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

My wife got me 8 TB about 3 or 4 years ago. It's awesome. My Blu Ray library is on it and I still have 5 TB free

Are these Skyrim furry mods?

I don't know what emotion this is trying to convey but I appreciate it nonetheless

Unused storage is wasted storage

[-] Localhorst86@feddit.org 10 points 2 months ago

Imagine paying for storage and not use all of it.

[-] quack@lemmy.zip 22 points 2 months ago

The GIMP watermark makes this even funnier

[-] ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.org 16 points 2 months ago

I bet they didn't register their copy. Probably torrented it, too.

[-] quack@lemmy.zip 11 points 2 months ago

Piracy is killing the FOSS industry!

[-] Treczoks@lemmy.world 22 points 2 months ago

That's how I got a free netbook. It had 32GB and could not be expanded. 27GB on it was wasted on windows and office. And then it needed to download an 8GB update.

Owner had to buy a new one, I got the old one for free. It now has 26GB free, with Linux, libreoffice, and developer tools already installed.

[-] jim3692@discuss.online 7 points 2 months ago

I am still trying to figure out what is going since Win 7, and it takes so much space (I don't know about Vista)

Uninstall Call of Duty.

[-] Turret3857@infosec.pub 18 points 2 months ago

data hoarders we out here

[-] Irelephant@lemm.ee 15 points 2 months ago

I was once wondering where 80gb of my storage went when I was reinstalling a game, and I eventually found out it was because I forgot to delete the .rar archive after I extracted it.

Small stuff (arguably) like that always fills my disks until it becomes a problem.

[-] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

That's why I use tools like dust or TreeSizeView to see where storage is being used. Far easier to find the culprits.

[-] Kolanaki@pawb.social 10 points 2 months ago

Have you thought about uploading your mind and not your body?

[-] muhyb@programming.dev 9 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

What are you doing with all those Linux ISOs?

[-] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 10 points 2 months ago
[-] crony@lemmy.cronyakatsuki.xyz 9 points 2 months ago

Me who still has a 512gb ssd that is always atleast 150gb free.

[-] daggermoon@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

I got 37 TB in my system, you?

[-] synapse1278@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

NAS is at 48TB raw, 24TB effective.

[-] daggermoon@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Nice. You buy all of your drives new or used?

[-] synapse1278@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

These 4 I bought used, with around 4years of uptime. 1 was defective and I replaced it with another used one that works fine.

[-] ftbd@feddit.org 2 points 2 months ago

4x12 in RAID10, or what's your setup?

[-] synapse1278@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Yes, that's right BTRFS RAID10

[-] ftbd@feddit.org 1 points 2 months ago

Nice, what kind of R/W speeds do you get? I opted for 3x16 in RAID5 (ZFS)

[-] synapse1278@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

I haven't measure precisely, performance is not a major concern to me. But I remember seeing local write speed around 350MB/s (reading from SSD writing to HDD RAID array).

[-] TwoBeeSan@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

16tb currently. Don't want to expand until getting enough backup drives.

[-] loomy@lemy.lol 7 points 2 months ago
[-] Bluefruit@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

This def feels like a shirt that goes hard. I'd wear the hell outta this lol.

Between steam games and music vst, I'm getting stacked brother.

[-] Pharmacokinetics@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

What do you store? I had a 1tb drive for 2 years and it only got 100GB full

[-] mexicancartel@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 2 months ago

Maybe he installed two games

[-] Pharmacokinetics@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Well yeah so do I but to my SSD. What do people usually store in their HDD? Photos?

[-] quack@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 months ago

As many 64kbps MP3s of All Star by Smash Mouth as it will hold. I have no need to store anything else.
