great, now you can loose your data six terabytes at a time!

bad look at the reviews

somebody mad at least 80 dollars on you

hope you bought another one for redundancy. 3TB is the max I'd go for without worrying about drive failure

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

what are all these Sup Forumstards doing with their HDD's that apparently make them crash every other day?

>his storage will last for over a decade
>lol git a super saiyan drive
>1000000 gigabytes a second
>no motor so never breaks

You have clearly never seen a drive fail. When one dies without backup your shit is fucking gone. 15 minutes after a crash you'll be making a thread "company wants $400 to recover my data, is it worth it". It certainly doesn't happen very often, but when it does it is devastating and the more data you dump on one drive without backup just increases the risk.

$30 per gig
not bad considering the market is so overpriced.

per tb*

>How did i do?
You bought deprecated technology from one of the worst brands offering it.

you bought a ticking time bomb

way to math it up there, compadre

What? Have Sup Forums memes taught you to only buy Western Digital and Samsung?

you wasted your money. higher density = higher rate of failure. you should have bought 12 used 1tb drives and put them in a raid 10.

If it even works at all right now you're incredibly lucky. Rest assured though, it'll be dead within 3 months.

>have SSD
>go on vacations
>come back a month later
>all the data is gone
Wew!
>2 years later, the drive dies
Double wew!
>for the low low price of 6 HDDs of the same capacity
Triple wew!

the data is in the same amount of space you fucking idiot. do the math.

This. My plan for my future NAS is four 4 TB drives in Raid 5. Gotta gave some protection.

1 - read what was typed
2 - pay special attention to "without backup" and
realize he was talking about worst case scenario when only one drive has the data , such as op "who just bought one of these drives"
3 - google "proof read"
4 - read 1 - 3 again

>>go on vacations
who are you trying to lie to, us or yourself?

plebs everywhere, invest in good internet and store everything online via at least 2 services and have them do the redundancy stuff

Why wouldn't I go on vacations when I get paid 6 figures for the privilege?

'loose', noun, means the opposite of tight
