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!

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

Great idea! Thanks!

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.

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?

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 on 27 Jun 22:56 collapse

IIRC there used to be a ~700 TB torrent called ‘a car’.

altphoto@lemmy.today on 27 Jun 23:41 next collapse

I wouldn’t download a car! I’m not stupid. I’m going to download pornhub instead.

I think you may need more than 60TB for that.

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?

"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!

curbstickle@anarchist.nexus on 28 Jun 00:27 collapse

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.

Are you saying we threw away all those records made of plastic for no good reason?!!

Windows 25 requirements are pretty brutal lol.
