When will it be commercially available though? Supposedly Seagate has had 30TB drives out for the better part of a year, but I can't find anything larger than 24TB actually available for purchase.

Most hardrives live in servers, as part of storage volumes where IO can be optimised well beyond the capability of a single disk.

For the boot disk on my workstation I am absolutely using an SSD, but for the hundreds of terabytes of largely static data that I need to keep archived? Spinning disks all the way. Not only to SSDs need to match on price, but they also have a long way to come in terms of longevity.

Few things are as affirmative to a mans body image as the communal shower after a rugby game. Not only do you see a true representation of average penises, but literally everyone is suffering "rugby dick" and on the verge of inversion due to blood flow regulation that occurs with intensive excercise.

In the majority of cases, its still going to be stuck under a mangled car that you cant move because it is on fire. A better solution might be to route multiple 'flood tubes' to the battery compartment and place them in easy accessible places. That way you would just need to pop pff an access panel and hook up a hose.

If it helps, 80% of the work i do when wearing my sysadmin hat is just ensuring that all of our systems are communicating properly.

I did like one semester of computer science, does that count?

Honestly I just google shit until I understand it. Linux has great documention, and where it fails you can just read the source code.

There is a recent New Zealand Today episode that interviews him. IIRC, he was involved in a number of low level scams at the time, and was arrested while dining on a stolen credit card. Man was just a natural showman, who wasnt going to go down quietly.

Hmm, I probably have that much distributed across my network... maybe I should look into some way of distributing it across multiple gpu.

Frak, just counted and I only have 270gb installed. Approx 40gb more if I install some of the deprecated cards in any spare pcie slots i can find.

Literally billions of people are. Do you think meat just spontaneously appears in the supermarket?

[–] Longpork3@lemmy.nz 6 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Quite the opposite. Cannibalism(assuming you obtain consent) would be ethical meat consumption.

Can you provide an example of this? Only time I've encountered that behaviour was with a laptop that had a defective lid-switch.

Raid 0 offers no redundancy though. If any of those three disks fail, you lose the entire volume.

For the sake of backups, switching to Raid 5 would be more robust
