#asknostr #data

dear people of #nostr, what do you use to store reasonable big amount of important private data (e.g. 40TB of lifetime photos) securely and without breaking a bank?

looking for double redundancy, checksuming, healing, snapshots, acceptale speed and ease to grow with (and shrink - though unlikely) with mismatched hardware

zfs - ticks all but last checkbox

moosefs - I have been using it until now but speed on ancient hardware is abhoring

snapraid - does not offer snapshots (and only offers evendual redundancy)

what about younger contenders?

seaweedfs?

I think 40tb will brake the bank 😅 How many lifetimes did you live to have so many photos? Maybe look into the Drobo nas, it has support for different disk sizes and you can upgrade them one by one, dynamically increasing the storage...

I used to do a lot of semi-pro photography and got used to shooting in RAW and ProRes so it eats up a lot, ProRes especially. 3 weeks holidays = 4TB of material.

Sure loads of it will eventually be delted - but until then ....

moosefs and consumer hardware was precisely the way to NOT break a bank
