I can't hear you over my 10TB storage disk of movies.
Rookie.
Edit: You gotta pump up those numbers.
k
pretty sure that's meant in a light hearted fashion
It is.
Might be.
But I'd rather use a meme phrase in that case like "Those are (absolute) rookie numbers".
Not taken in bad blood but also not really funny (to me).
Edited for more humor.
Better! :D
Thanks!
Imagine not having a double digit bay NAS with triple digit Tebibytes of space.
Well...I preferred double parity for my 4-bay NAS :p
Oh nowadays you can get 26tb drives pretty affordably, so a 4 bay NAS could be getting you 50TiB now.
Of course most people don't need all that though.... including me honestly but hey, that data isn't going to collect itself.
Bought it about 1 year ago from overtime work hours (as compensation).
So there were budgetary constraints. Plus I was looking for drives that were quiet and wouldnt rattle my brain out (it runs in the same room I sleep in).
So far it's quiet enough to sleep while in light use but I had to schedule stuff while I am usually at work to not disturb my rest too much.
Edit:
No, no. You do need that ;D
Personally I have 4x16TB but I have allocated only 46% (12.96/28.07TiB) for use.
And that's currently enough for me.
Hopefully it's all U2 nvme drives and not ancient sata drives. Those are for either dinosaurs or shudders poor people
Yeah. I obviously will pay for an all-flash storage array at home.
Bro I am not american and not unbelievable wealthy.
Americans can't even afford meals. They need coupons, lol.
