Tfw fell for the 5400 RPM HDD meme

>tfw fell for the 5400 RPM HDD meme

I have two 4TB 5400RPM drives in my computer.

Then I also have a 4TB 64MB cache 7200RPM and a 5TB 128MB cache 7200RPM WD Black.

And a 500GB SSD...

and a 250GB M.2 NVMe SSD.


What i'm getting at is it's good to have choice.

>buying a 7200 rpm drive for storage

I hope you like data loss, I'll take a 5400 RPM drive that can do 24/7 for 6 years any day.

I'm quite curious. What do you need all that storage for? Porn? Vidya gaymes?

...

Not him, but basically movies and TV shows. I only have a mobile 4 TB drive right now and it's almost filled up. Gonna need some more drives to act as a backup as well.

One of the 5400 RPM drives has anime, the other has movies and TV.
The 4TB 7200RPM has more anime
The 5TB 7200RPM has games that I dont want on the SSD.
the 500GB SSD is for games and anything i might be editing.
the 250GB SSD is for the OS and programs, as well as my current favorite games.

>he things 7200rpm is any less reliable

You have slower storage access though. Not that anybody really cares though.

But they are, unless you have proof otherwise?

Still decent, I can easily copy files over ethernet at 100mb/s

my 7200RPM 5TB

Power on hours count?

>power on time 220d 22h

>not even a year old

I'll see you in 4 years when you start developing bad sectors, if you haven't already.

you joking? you realize most people don't leave their PC's on 24/7 right?

Also, 5 year warranty.

You should have fallen for the SSD meme instead, bruh.

>you realize most people don't leave their PC's on 24/7 right?
Of course not, most people have a NAS that they can leave on 24/7.

>Also, 5 year warranty.
Doesn't mean shit if you lose your data

>lose your data
>he doesnt have backups
fucking kek

>implying 5400 is any more reliable than 7200, the thread.

Fucking literal human waste.

>buy 5tb drive for storage
>need to buy 8tb to back up 5tb drive

why

Because i have fast internet and bulk online back space is actually not all that expensive these days.

Just pack everything into an archive, encrypt it and upload.

It's like $60 a year.

>Not using 10k RPM hard drives.

>online back space

I'd rather be my own cloud server, thanks

Enjoy paying for it then?

I have my own cloud server, I just keep my backups off site in case of catastrophic events such as hurricane, flood, fire, etc.

I have roughly 12TB backed up right now online for $60 fucking bucks.

It's got limited access (you can't download things more than a handful of times per year) but since it's a backup service, you dont need to have 24/7 access, I have my desktop to act as my cloud server for when I DO need that.

Since it's encrypted it's not like they know what i am storing, and even if AES-256 is broken, they'll just get my anime collection and some games.

>not using 15K RPM SAS HDD

>found a really cheap 2TB external
>tested it, all good
>cracked the enclosure open and put the drive in the PC
>clicks constantly
>can't return because enclosure had clearly been opened
FUCKING SEAGATE

>not using 40k Imperium approved and certified non-heresy drives

Im just waiting for your proof.

testing this stupid shit

>88889
You had ONE JOB

>cracking the enclosure

you asked for it

Yeah the clips are designed to break when you open the cunts. It seems to work fine despite the clicking though, I'll use it as a junk drive for a while I guess.

>wasting time, CPU cycles, HDD I/O and network bandwidth on creating, encrypting and uploading big-ass archives to a $60/yr botnet
>not using automated delta-transfers that take like a minute a day to a machine or drive you actually control
Great backup strategy.

Yeah how dare I spend $60 a year instead of literally several hundred+ on my own setup.

Not to mention losing the off site advantage unless I find somewhere offsite to house it, but then i'm paying for space, electricity, and internet.


Thanks, but no thanks.


Also, who the fuck cares if it IS a botnet? All they see are encrypted archives.

And your proof?

encfs -> acd_cli

Don't have to even think about it. With AES-NI instruction set, the cpu doesn't break a sweat.

It's not falling for the cloud meme or paying for it why I think you're retarded. It's the "Just pack everything into an archive, encrypt it and upload" part, instead of using delta backups like a civilized human being.
