  Just finished building a new PC last night, 64GB RAM, 8GB vRAM, 2TB m.2, 8x8TB HDD, and windows will never goddamn touch it. It feels weird, but so far so good.

    8x8TB HDD 64 terabytes of HDD storage?! What in the RAID will you do with all of that? And more importantly, how much did it cost?

      Jellyfin. The HDDs were only ~$110 each. Seagate 5400s but w/e it’s mass storage. No raid, drives will just be filled, cloned, and the clone dropped into a second system, also with no windows 🤬

        Look at ZFS, it’s a bit more intelligent about using the space. They’ll be part of a pool of drives that you create ‘datasets’(basically virtual drives) from and you can choose your level of redundancy (including none at all if you want to roll the dice there).

        I have a 20TB array, 16TB available. It’s already saved me from a lost disk. Using Seagate 5x 4TB 5400s also, with a NVME drive for the ZIL (speeds up writes). I have a 32GB ARC (a ZFS cache in RAM) so, even though the drives are slow the RAM and NVME drives ensure that it always feels snappy.

        You can use zfs-send to clone the data to a new system without them having to have an exact copy of your original setup (if you’re using drive images). It is a copy on write filesystem so it supports snapshotting (creating backups of the block level diffs, so it is very space efficient as it only stores the block-level changes to the file).

  I don’t believe you! (that it is coincidential)
