yup 100TB of essential is NOT ACCEPTED as normal for personal user case. LoL
extraordinary requirement needs expensive solution - using HDD in this age HIGHEST RISK
array LVM is MUST - also buying anything > 1TB for normal use super risk
rather 8 pieces than one 8TB - chip or board can fail too.
enterprise system different story
Nah, shitty speed - yes.
With multiple servings nodes still borderline acceptable. (Though running 15 physical server at home is also not really normal or cheap as running costs go.
Risk - nots so sure. 3x redundancy plus backup makes it quite safe. Though offsite backup of this amount is anything but cheap.
1. i consider risk one large disk / stick failure more important n loss hence buy breakup smaller ones given i dodnot need super high parallel capacity
2. ur data is money making n critical - have layered solution - like if u one offsite then HDD in mainsite n offsite both are fine - unlike both will fail - DR check is must
100% with you
Only
- It is hard to not put „critical” tag on memories or on unhappiness of the wife (in case of loss)
- my setup is almost 10y old. Technology moves faster than my finances grow.
- one day I would love to be all on energy’s efficient boards and NVMe ( though I bet as soon as I start buying new shit - technology will move again)
- don’t try to fix what is not broken
also i take shitty speed low cost but high endurance when data is not needed to accessed 24/7 but on demand only manually
