Comment on Thoughts about my (potential) first server?
orsetto@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 week agoOld desktop pc would be ideal, for exactly the problems you pointed out. The only thing that is making me consider this is the already included drives, which is where i’d end up spending most of my money (especially now, thanks ai)
I mean, the same capacity would cost WAY too much more. For a similar capacity + the system i’d have to spend at least double :(

Are 22TB Exos derives around 400+ monies (double the price from a year ago). 6TB are only half that? Idk even where to look for prices bcs stock is weird.
Yeah, these are dark times, evey gen things get worse instead of advancements ppl can use.
Still, keep in mind that those “nice” SAS drives are still slow & might have been in operation for 12 years.
