      You do realize that there is probably a fair chunk of people on here who can say that unironically?

        I’ve only got 32tb in the family Raid 5 (actually 24TB since I lose a drive to parity), but my girl really loves her trash TV while she works so we’re on like 90% full.

        And I’m just a podunk machinist.

      start building a media server. space goes quick. I’m sitting at about 100 TB right now and I’m running out of space.

        My 14TB are almost full but I can’t fathom what you’d use 100TB on??

    I have a 20TB seagate exos drive in my main pc and I hate it. Partly due to my case, but it’s noisy and does an obnoxious head reset (or whatever) every 7 minutes or so. It’s so loud.

      These drives aren’t for home desktops, they’re more for server setups with large datasets and redundancy. Lol why do you need a 20tb drive in your main PC?

      I have 4 x 20tb drives in a true as where I have backups, movies, music, network accessible for the whole house.

      Yeah Exos are enterprise drives, so there’s no point in making them quiet like they do with lower speed desktop stuff.

      Is it a mechanical drive?
