Enterprise SAS SSD are just built different... two layers, and takes up all the space it can.

  I don’t have a use for them

  Not having a use for extra storage. Wow.
  Anyway: !datahoarder@lemmy.ml

    It’s not very efficient to have an array of 2TB drives versus a single 16TB drive for example. That’s a lot of extra required power and ports for little gain under home use.

    I’m not in the need of really fast storage… normal spinning rust storage, I have plenty of!

  Acronyms, initialisms, abbreviations, contractions, and other phrases which expand to something larger, that I’ve seen in this thread:

  Fewer Letters	More Letters
  NAS	Network-Attached Storage
  RAID	Redundant Array of Independent Disks for mass storage
  SSD	Solid State Drive mass storage

    Also, SAS -> Serial Attached SCSI

  • tlf@feddit.de ⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    With the SATA acronym it has some trouble resolving, so I became curious. Here’s what I’ve found:

    “AT” was IBM’s abbreviation for “Advanced Technology”; thus, many companies and organizations indicate SATA is an abbreviation of “Serial Advanced Technology Attachment”. However, the ATA specifications simply use the name “AT Attachment”, to avoid possible trademark issues with IBM.

  I’d always get industrial or enterprise hardware. It’s just better.

  • Showroom7561@lemmy.ca ⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    It’s also significantly more expensive 😭

    source

    • SomeoneSomewhere@lemmy.nz ⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Secondhand stuff can be really cheap if you know where to look, but the drawbacks are usually power and noise.

    Indeed it is.

  There are companies that sell parts from used servers, e.g. SAS controllers for PCI.

  source

  • Krafting@lemmy.world ⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Well, I have servers that takes SAS drives so I don’t need this kind of hardware for the moment!

• Trincapinones@lemmy.world ⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  Are they cheaper or more expensive than the high density consumer SSDs?

  source

  • ollie@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    usually more expensive per tb, but for a data center not that much because you can get more storage in a single rack than you otherwise would with peasant 8 tb ssds.

  Only 1.92 Tb? But 12Gb/s 😊 nice, like half of the speed of my internet 😂😜

  😮wait, nonono, internet is only 25Gbit/s not byte, woops

  No use for them you say 🤔

  I was actually just looking at buying some sas spinning drives for a nas. Found a seller on Amazon thats unfortunately gone before i could buy em but it was a pretty good deal. Where do you buy yours from?

  source

  • Krafting@lemmy.world ⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    I got them for free from the place I work at! I might not be paid a lot, but things like this makes up for it.

    SAS drives are often thrown away because they aren’t worth a lot (if you don’t mind used drives), maybe you can find a lot of good deals there, and since they are cheaper you can always get some spare drives, with a RAID 5 setup it’s kinda good

      Really? Being given stuff you don’t have a need or use for is good compensation to you?

      Damn thats cool! My work doesnt let me take drives old drives. Though we dont use sas drives so that might be why.

      I certainly dont mind used drives for mass storage. I was planning to do some kinda raid anyways.

      I haven’t gotten any kind of nas setup yet. Trying to avoid buying too much lol but good to know other folks are using sas drives too.

  The board interconnectors are gorgeous, I love the simplicity.
