This is a trick question, right?

porn

To store things exceeding 5tb of space

It's if they want to play the new Call of Duty.

Anime/Porn/Video Game storage.

backups
and backups of backups

porn

Anime, mostly.

Hdtv rips/hd tv series downloads

Umm... Well honestly I would like to download as much shit from the internet as possible that I don't want to disappear so that I don't have to worry about whether the government or some corporation gets to decide whether I "deserve" to view/play/watch it.

linux isos

Porn. An average 30 minute 4K video is around 8GB. It gets silly after a certain point.

You need a serious backlog to justify that and I hope you aren't downloadig anthing over 720p.

to handle the size of this!
*grabs dick*

because things are huge nowadays.

3tb of movies
3.5tb of tv shows
2tb of game installs
2tb of data
2tb of game and program installations
0.5tb of software installs
0.25tb of temporary download storage

What are you up to?

>and I hope you aren't downloadig anthing over 720p.

Thats good advice for TV broadcasts because they're all 720p and upscaled, but bluerays should be 1080.

storing HIGHEST QUALITY anime blu-ray rips

B-But a lot of anime isn't even produced at 1080p ehehe...

I honestly want to have a digital library of all music, video games, films, shows and cartoons I like while I can still pirate without repercussions.

all my drives were getting close to 50% on games alone, had to add another 4tb

if you downloaded porn, anime or tv shows you'd get through that fast

I have a better question
Why would someone encrypt their harddrives?

Nothing to hide? Nothing to fear.

Yes. And?

Most anime is still animated in 720p.
Also, CrunchyRoll gets digital opiesfrom the studios afaik, so TV rips are rare these days.

That's true though.

everyone hides something retard

I have photography as one of my hobbies.
I store my raws on a 18 TB RAID-6 NAS.

>An average 30 minute 4K video is around 8GB.
I don't own a 4k monitor, but I'm starting to consider it now.

>I hope you aren't downloadig anthing over 720p
>He says while claiming to store his porn in 4k

500GB SSD C drive
2TB steam / game drive
2TB download receiving folder / shit I'm working on at the moment
6TB NAS (RAID0) containing my music / movies / TV Series / backups of PC

Is there a 144Hz 4k monitor on the market?

...

I sure hope you store your music using FLAC only

Trust me when I say if the quality of the content isn't worth it then the quality of the resolution isn't.
The camera can only do so much.

Priorities.

>modern games literally 80GB a piece
>downloading gigabytes worth of animu porn pics a year from 4chins
>archiving animu and vidya for future generations
I just got extra 7TB worth of HDDs for my dock, as my previous ~5TB started to be filled.

not him, but I don't "backlog". I download and watch as they come. And only few of them are above 720p.

I used to use Barracudas, but got fed up of them dying a few months out of warranty. Happened three times.

Get a 1440p 144hz monitor for now, 4k isn't really good for vidya yet. Even with a 7700k+1080ti you're not going to get great frame rates or minimums. In five years, high refresh rate 4k monitors with the latest display technologies and the respective adaptive sync tech you need will be MUCH cheaper and will be future proof as fuck. Once hardware starts pushing 4k, only enthusiast retards will ever justify trying to move to 5k or 8k or something.

I have 12tb. Well, actually 6tb in RAID1.

1tb is reserved. My system does a weekly snapshot and saves to that volume.

The other 5tb is just movies and TV shows and comics and shit. I'll probably add a few more drives this year, it's getting close to full.

Anime
And porn
That's what I'm using my raid6 12TB storage for

my 5-y-o barracudas on my old pc are still working

Except a human's vision is something like 16k per eye.
They'll always go forward

Blu-ray remux is 25-30gb
Decent reencode usually around 15gb
Vidya is reaching 60-80gb
Anime is epsidoic so takes a lot of space.
I also have like a 1tb of porn but i download any anymore cause i need to scroll through it so i just stream.

>RAID 0
>Backups of PC
You really should be using a secure setup, if anything happens to either drive every backup on that NAS and all of the media is fucked and unrecoverable, with your storage setup the cost would be pretty minimal to go with a more suitable RAID, even 1 would be better

I forgot, also a 2TB external USB3 drive.

Full of anime :(

space for movies/series/anime
space for music with wifi speaker in most rooms
space for local gitlab server
space for local websites/services
backups

>raid 0
>NAS
nigger what?

Sorry, meant 1, mirrored pair.

Typo. It's RAID1, pair of 6TB mirrored

I have 8.5TB worth of shit on 8 1TB HDDs and I want to back them all up but reading up on digital media storage and they all fail eventually if I want something to last atleast a century I need to shill out thousands of dollars. Shit, now how can I surprise the people of the next century with Terabytes of the 21st century's mental retardation?

I have around 16 Sup Forums folders around 10-20gb each. Not to mention game saves from titles I played and uninstalled, backups and such.

Trust me, HDD space goes away very fast.

Just do raid1 and replace individual drives when they fail.

You don't have to buy something that lasts forever, you just need redundancy.

Thank god, I was genuinely worried, when I was first getting into PCs I got gifted an older laptop that has a dual 1TB HDD setup in RAID 0, got confused when the screen froze on Windows telling me a RAID error occurred. Been skittish around R0 ever since I found out what it was and how it nuked my data. Planning on setting up a RAID 50 NAS with multiple 8-10TB HDDs when money allows

Well yeah, but the gap between video cards being able to push 144hz 4k and 144hz 8k is going to be huge. Once we get the GTX 1480 Ti or whatever, maybe high refresh rate 4k will be possible but it'll be a LONG time after that before 8k gaming becomes plausible. Just wait to get a 4k monitor when you want one that'll last you the next decade. 1440p 144hz is playable now, and will be for the next four years at least. No point investing in a monitor when there's no benefit to doing so right now if you're getting an inferior and more expensive product compared to what you could've gotten if you had just waited for such monitors to actually be useful for games.

But if you're a movie/email/work normies, 4k monitors makes sense. They're just useless for games.

Anime, Music, Waifu Pictures, and Porn
You're right, no one needs over 5TB, but it's nice to have

I'm a server engineer, we bought a petabyte of NetApp shelves last year. Obviously businesses can generate a lot more traffic than your average home user, but even I was suprised at how long that didn't last. Even with arciving cold shit to LTO6.

>raid1
I have no idea what this is. Any guide on storage you can point me to?

I just realized that I need to archive all of my shit after hitting the 5tb mark and I'm starting to see that buying more HDDs isn't a good idea.

yeah, that would have been ridiculous. Heh, had a server at work fail recently, had a look and one of it's 4 HDDs showing failed LED. No problem, just swap it out... Oh. Whoever built this shitbox years ago RAID0'd all four disks for a C drive. Seeya server.

lmgtfy.com/?q=raid 1
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_RAID_levels

I'm planning on building a 12tb nas with redudancy (6tb) for movies, games and music. I'm close to capacity on my 4 the setup in my pc.

I failry recently built a FreeNAS box just to store video game rips. I just get the feeling these files are gonna get harder and harder to find going forward.

>there are people who think they need a petabyte of data

I actually did this. Thought you might have something more noob friendly but thanks, I'll look into this.

Dolphin art.

RAID1 is mirroring. In a RAID1 pair, both drives will appear as a single disk to the PC, and anything you write to 'it' is written identically to both discs. So if one fails, you still have an exact copy. Just remember to replace the failed disk so the data can be copied back to that before the only remaining drive fails as well.

>his porn is in video format

Ego.

I built a PC in March with 8TB of space and I'm already at 7TB

What else are you suggesting. Porn in brail?

Raid 1 mirrors your data on multiple drives.

So, if you have two 1tb drives, you set them up in raid1, and you have a 1tb volume with redundant back up. So even if one disk fails, no data is lost.

And it's pretty damn rare that both disks in a raid array will fail at the same time, so for home usage it's about as much redundancy as you'll need.

not archiving shit for the future
In a hundred years some wine sipping edge lord will happily talk about buying something with files encoded in this weird vintage ".mkv" format with his equally snobby rich friends. Just imagine that for 5 seconds. I'm most likely not around by that point but knowing that some fucking asshole in the future might get a kick out of it is enough to make me want to do it.

I have 7tb and I'm almost full

Big name stuff, you aren't wrong. Look at Nintendo ROMs right now. They got really aggressive about it all of a sudden.

>internet will disappear but your NAS is somehow immune

2 drives or 4 drives?

256GB SSD Boot drive
250GB SSD drive, still empty
1TB WD Blue, for games and pictures n' shit
8TB WD Red I pulled from one of those enclosures, for my autistic 80's anime collection

Forget Nintendo, DRM is being baked into "Web3.0". I'd rather be safe than sorry

Could I get a 250GB HDD and put it in RAID1 with my SSD? I don't see why not

Doubt it. No matter what they do piracy is still ahead. I mean it's been what 25 years and they haven't even shutdown usenet piracy. They just go after normies because they can, romsites public trackers etc.

Noice, now I just have to read up on how to set this up efficiently.
>inb4 install gentoo

Yes that is possible, but your raid array will only perform as fast as the slowest drive in the array.

So, not a great idea.

I honestly don't know if there are any special precautions or steps for ensuring you don't place unnecessary wear on your SSD if you mirror it with a HDD.

But the internet as we know it is changing

You would end up with HDD writing/reading speed drive, essentially wasting SSD potential. What would be better idea is to make "hybrid" drive out of such pair.

Pictures > Videos

"The Internet" is just one internet. If people get pissed enough they can make another one that doesn't follow the same rules.

And? Always has been always will be, and people will always want free shit.

RAID1 performance / capacity will always be the lowest common denominator. Both discs need to hold identical of data, so the volume they make will only be as big as the smallest of the two drives. Likewise with performance, it's no good being able to write three times as much data to one of the drives over the other for example, as during writes the slower drive would lag behind and they wouldn't be identical until the slower finished writing.

a ton of movies, pictures, books, porn
I'm sure it would be easy to fill up at least 1tb just of good, and high quality, porn, same with movies.

2 6tb HGSTs.

Yes but it would be incredibly stupid use the ssd as a cache or just use the hdd as a nightly backup

Hope you guys are right, i just want to be ready for the worse

What is that unity3d fie? I work with unity, never saw it before.

You're better off getting 4 3TB drives

Depends what you're into

I guess I should set up rsync or something to clone it every hour or so.

I dunno, 200 bloodbornes?
