So how big is that?
According to their total dataset size excluding duplicates, over 900 TB
Shit, my synology has more than that… alas, it is full of movie “archives”
I'm guessing you're talking GBs?
Nope.
That's awesome - how many drives and of what sizes do you have? Also why synology instead of higher enterprise grade solution at this point?
Right now most of them are 20T each. I started smaller at first, but they’ve dropped so much in price. I usually wait until a sale and grab a bunch. There are… math… 62 drives?
When I first started, I only had the 6 bay… I chose synology because I wanted something that was managed for me. I don’t want to have to focus on setting things up and possibly doing things wrong. It comes with amazing tools. Also, the server buy-in was a lot less than the other “professional” rack mounted solutions.
I had such a great experience that I just kept with them. It is a pretty expensive hobby though, but so is buying physical movies. And, some things never get a physical release, so having it digitally protects me from when Netflix, or whomever, decides to drop something.
They put a link in with the total...
