  I’ve definitely seen more hdd failures than ssd failures in my life, that said, enterprise storage is indeed very robust. My WD red pros have all been workhorses. And right now the price per dollar is definitely in favor of HDDs. That really needs to change though. The raw materials alone make HDDs more expensive to produce, the problem is only that there are less manufacturers with the means to actually produce the chips necessary for SSDs because HDDs have been around for a million years. Once that changes, I think HDDs will and should go the way of every obsolete storage medium thats existed prior.

  i’ve installed it on at least 5 different computers so far. I don’t think its luck.

  I’m definitely in the minority, but I like windows 11 a lot. Its got a lot of great features that 10 didn’t have. And almost everything that people complain about in windows 11 is pretty easy to turn off or change.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tragic⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  what’s wrong with windows now?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This new 40TB hard drive from Seagate is just the beginning—50TB is coming fast!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  honestly though. I kinda dislike that a 40 or 50tb mechanical drive is even a thing. What we really need is larger, more affordable solid state drives. Mechanical drives have had their place, but their limits are fairly clear at this point. And your point about rebuilding an array makes that obvious. They are just too slow. This move by seagate to make ridiculously large mechanical drives, should not be the beggining, as this article suggests. It should really be the end.

  one day you will get to move out and then you can build any kind of server you want

  Almost every bit of data i have is redundant. The stuff I back up to cloud storage is the stuff I would care about if my house were to burn down. But that stuff is all double, and triple backed up, locally as well.

  Yup, if you can put em in a closet or something, you’re golden.

  I’ve almost entirely ditched streaming because of my library. Only service I still subscribe to is crunchyroll. I also run a plex server and share access with my family, so it’s got its uses. Its not just me watching all of it. But I’m probably adding around 5 movies/tv shows to my server almost every day. The threat of ever dwindling disk space looms large.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This new 40TB hard drive from Seagate is just the beginning—50TB is coming fast!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Not sure how you’re doing your match, but I’ve probably watched about 85% of it. And a lot of it I’ve watched multiple times.

  But no. I am not ok. lol.

  Trust me, I’ve been waiting for those ancient WDs to die. I’m actually using them in a raid 1 config, so if one dies the other remains. I’ve also got anything really important backed up to cloud storage. I’ve worked in software for 20+ years. I’m very well accustomed to data loss and recovery.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This new 40TB hard drive from Seagate is just the beginning—50TB is coming fast!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Right now I have about 3000 movies, mostly 4k, and 500 TV shows. As well as a pretty music library. No room for the hentai.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This new 40TB hard drive from Seagate is just the beginning—50TB is coming fast!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  underrated comment. i’d much rather clone a 15 tb drive than 50 tb one. Also better speeds considering the use of more drives. That said, if I can save on electricity, noise, enclosure space, and very importantly, money, it could be pretty cool.

  You’re listing a lot of brands that are mostly known for their ssds / NVME drives. This convo is about mechanical drives. By their very nature, SSDs are bound to be more reliable than HDDs.

  However, when it comes to mechanical drives, western digital is waaaaaay more reliable than Seagate. Always has been. Maybe a lot of people don’t use mechanical drives anymore, so their frame of reference is skewed – but seagate makes trash mechanical drives. They have NEVER been reliable when compared to WD.

  Anyway Hitachi made/makes shit mechanical drive and Samsung was never really known for HDDs. Crucial only makes solid state drives.

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

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This new 40TB hard drive from Seagate is just the beginning—50TB is coming fast!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve had at least 6 seagate drives over the past 20 years. none of them survived more than 2 or 3 years. Meanwhile, i have two almost 15 year old WDs sitting on my desk still going strong.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This new 40TB hard drive from Seagate is just the beginning—50TB is coming fast!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  i dunno man, i have about 20 years worth of bad experiences with seagate. none of their drives have ever been reliable for me. WD drives have always been rock solid and overall just better drives in my experience.

  that is DBS and it is very different from what this article in this topic talking about. DBS has been around for a long time, used for other purposes like parkinsons and essential tremor. I’m very familiar with it because i have a form of parkinsons.
