Okay. I want total honesty here. How many of you could actually fill that thing up?

With useful stuff? Never. With random bullshit I think might be useful some day if only I find the time? Easy

No sweat, try mirroring a private tracker and you’ll very quickly run out lol. You need a couple of petabytes worth.
The real problem is the price of HDDs not going down due to lower production in light of SSDs.
I fully expect WD to drop this as some stupidly expensive SAS drives that almost no consumer will buy. They should at least apply the dual heads for speed tech so we get faster HDDs for the same price.

I remember Mac OS X having an issue with its mail app while back that would create massive log files continuously that would keep generating until they filled the entire drive. You would have to boot to a recovery partition or such because the OS wouldn’t have enough room to expand/boot and remove them and fix the issue.
Imagine having 130 terabytes of invisible log files

keep the OS partition like 4tb and make a separate partition for the pirated movies

I have a lot of Linux IOSs which are definitely not VR porn. I have 200TB total including parity disks, and 150TB usable.
