I can’t decide between these two used drives: www.cdw.com/product/…/8455168?pfm=srh
and
www.cdw.com/product/…/7785193?pfm=srh
sure 61TB doesn’t sound like much these days, but I’m only going to be making word docs for a few centuries. Plus the drives are used and so they come at a great discount!
Are you trolling us with your choice between 25K and 50K drives?
I would never trust that much data to a single drive.

Bingo. I’ve toasted a 10 TB drive before and I still get emotional about it.
Spend the extra 25k. It’s worth it in case you end up stuck trying to download a 62TB torrent and suddenly can’t!
irmadlad@lemmy.world 2 days ago IIRC there used to be a ~700 TB torrent called ‘a car’.
I wouldn’t download a car! I’m not stupid. I’m going to download pornhub instead.

Quick tech specs
With 122.88 TB capacity, you have ample space to store a vast number of images, extensive hours of video, or a large collection of songs
Understatement much?
Windows 25 requirements are pretty brutal lol.
"Large Collection of every song ever sang by every artist who has ever lived I assume. So like a good 250 years of continuous non repeating playback! Nice! And no moving parts!
The average song is 3 minutes and 17 seconds long. At studio quality stereo and uncompressed wav (32 bit, 192kHz), thats about 290MB per song that’d be about… 206,897 songs.
irmadlad@lemmy.world 2 days ago Ummmm…you have a problem I have never had. LOL Just looking at the pricing, that’d be a negative rafter man. My cap is 10 TB. I could not imagine crashing a $52,029.99 / 122.88 TB SSD. I’m assuming that’s USD. WOW!
Right? LOL. WTF! Who would use that sort of capacity?
leadore@lemmy.world 1 day ago Why not both?
I gotta go to WellsFargo to beg for a hard-drive loan.

Buy the larger drive, saw it in half and use the two halfs in RAID 1.

Great idea! Thanks!
