Nudes of your ugly mom, fag. And piracy

Chinese cartoons vault.

Proof of time.
A hobby. I mean backup tapes are best thing ever made.

Collecting chinese lewd cartoon art, non lewd art. I fucking do mate why bothering you?

Mining Burst coin

I've got over 8TB and growing. Some user's have hit the 20-40TB mark. Some people (like me) have files going back 20+yrs stored on there servers/external hdds. It all depends on what you store and why. Nowadays with Torrent's falling everywhere your far better off grabbing what you want now and keep it safe cause next month (maybe,i dunno was an example) it may be gone,torrent is dead.

You need at least ten times that if you want to keep a decent collection.

Plex server.

How do u get that backup tapes? Are them expensive?

IT JUST DOESN'T STOP

Tapes are cheap, the drive itself not so much. Ebay,craiglist,etc are your friends in this endeavor.

>NTFS

Photos and videos with doubling to tripling of said data due to backups alone can go well over 5TB quite easily.

Staggered backups can also pretty quickly get there if you want a bunch of full backups including programs and settings, not just incremental/differential ones.

Obviously downloading media will also get you there pretty quickly. As do various sorts of data processing.

Welcome to very production environment ever.

Not expensive. But I need knowledge for backup on tape. No idea how to use. Need to be stored for at least 20 years too.

5 TB. That's puny compared to me. I can store 720 Terabytes.

I just bought two 4tb drives. Both will have a 1tb partitiones to be backups for valuable info and the rest to store gaymes and porn. It goes faster than you think

AutoCAD projects from the last 20 years with drive mirroring for redundancy.

OUT OF MY WAY PUNY CHILD

Lots of video. I have 68TB of online storage and about another 250TB offline

>(((((((online storage))))))))

>about another 250TB offline
I'm curious as to what you're storing 250TB worth of video for. Is it all movies?

Typical uses:
Piracy, Steam Library

Others:
Content creation (Photos, videos), Archival

This is a few days old, already its outdated cause I added a few more files to it, videos & music mostly since then. Nothing wrong with NTFS, long as you take precautions which if you care about your data at all you'll have/use anyway,no mater what filesystem you use. UPS, allows server to shutdown properly in event of power failure and to eliminate chance of data corruption during said power failure. Also prevents power spikes/surges/etc from killing you server. Backup - You must have a backup (raid is not a backup!) so if the raid array fails/whole server fails, you can restore your data completely. If you use UPS & Backup + Raid your data will be safe from 90% causes of data loss. Remaining 10% is acts of god, some fucker breaking into your house, you (the sys admin) ignoring a dead drive in a raid array and failing to run a backup before the whole array failed completely,etc

Image collection
Music collection
Offline software installer collection
Book and other educational PDF/etc collection
Video (anime/movie/TV show) collection
There's other miscellaneous digital items one can hoard too. Mixing all those together and you'll quickly fill up your hard drives.

forgot my picture lel

chinese cartoons 3tb
gay pron 1tb
work 1tb
backup 3 tb wait, not enough

>I'm curious as to what you're storing 250TB worth of video for. Is it all movies?
Most of them are empty 2-4TB disks. About 10 are used for offline backup.

if you want to get more autistic is is (((hyperconverged))) storage

>ships with proprietary operating system
>advertises storage of multiple servers reminded

So are you planning on filling all of them or using half as backups?

Plex is for little faggots.

What file systems are better for a archive disk?
I just got a 8TB drive and am using it in a Windows Desktop, not a NAS.

>the drive itself not so much
How do you mean?
tapeandmedia.com/ibm-3592-jd-2727263-tape-cartridge.asp
Like do you need you need something to else to write and read from this?

if you don't spend your whole life crouching over your pc watching 10bit anime plex is fine

Eventually I will fill them up. I need more chassis though.

>Like do you need you need something to else to write and read from this?
Yes and it will be expensive as shit as that is bigger than even LTO7. The anything affordable for most people would be LTO5.

Use Kodi if you care about technology

Anime collection.

What's proof of time?

>NTFS
>Production
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Production environments use either some proprietary thing like netapp or they use ext4, ZFS or XFS. NTFS is shit, even Microsoft knows this, they just can't seem to get their new ReFS out the door.

we're going to crack 100PB at work soon even with dedupe, and so much of it is useless garbage

>home nas

>netapp
You dont understand the difference between a SAN and a file system is do you? That ignores the rest of the retardation in your post.

I have 7tb in my file sever and it's still not enough. I only have 3tb left and they keep making moe anime. Also I want to add redundancy.

>Asustor
>Enjoy your life

Fuck 5tb is nothing

I do understand the difference, I was just saying that proprietary solutions typically use their own proprietary file system.

>I do understand the difference
No you dont since you dont know the difference between block storage and a file system.

net apps are a NAS with a proprietary FS

For archive data, NTFS is fine. Your drive and the data on it will last longer if you keep it offline when not in use. HDD Antistatic bags and a small padded box are all you really need or use an external drive. Main thing is to keep that drive as safe as possible from damage. Bonus is that since it is portable you can keep it locked away from your house in a safe deposit box or somewhere else so if your house burnt,some fucker broke in, or your wife/gf decides to leave you she won't be able to steal your data at least

NetApps are primarily deployed as SANs. Just because they can be used as a filer doesnt mean that is anyway close to their primary deployment target.

JAV

the op was obviously talking about them in the context of a nas though

Lossless DayZ kill montages
Lossless DayZ autism RP footage
Lossless Minecraft let's plays

No he wasn't. OP never brought up NetApps or NASes. He asked why anyone would need more than 5TB of storage. You're just autisticaly larping that NTFS is never used in production environemnts, when in fact it is used in pretty much any environment with Windows boxes which would be almost any enterprise environment.

Offline applies to your backup devices to. So you use external hdd or a nas for backup of your main server, great it's cheap and it works great, long as you keep those backup devices shutdown when not in use. This allows your drives and the data to last longer and you can prevent damage from any power related issues. For quick and dirty file/folder restores (NOT a total restore job) use windows shadow copy/previous version feature. This is available on windows servers and clients. Allows you to restore files/folders you accidentally delete. Works automatically. Best for things least a week old. any longer and you may have to resort to using your backup, depends on how often your files change on the volume. Goal is not to touch your backup unless you need to cause the less you have to use it the longer it'll last.

If I'm downloading over 1TB of Futanari porn and my computer has 2TB, I'm in trouble son.

I am currently using over 6TB of storage. Video games, movies, porn, books take up a ton of space. Not to mention all of the random crap I have.
Stop being a faggot. Storage is cheap.

anime and emulators

Link?

By "archive", I meant more bulk drive for storing shit. Not tucked away in my attic kind of drive. Just curious if I should format the drive to anything special to help its lifespan.

>What does a single person need over 5tb of storage for?
Backups

That can't be cheap. I'd rather use Backblaze, or CrashPlan with unlimited backup for less than a minimum hourly wage per month.

Roasted and fucking toasted

>Unlimited Data
>$5/mo

Wow, why has nobody ever mentioned them when I asked about cheap storage solutions?

Is it really unlimited, and how fast is it?

>your mom is so big, you need a TB if you want to take a picture of her

3 TB porn 2 TB movies and TV and then backups of it all

>Backblaze
lel
>unlimited storage!!!
>oh, well now you have to sync for 2 months
>by the way, your data is all gone, this is supposed to be for backup, not long term storage without your own mirror

>oh, well now you have to sync for 2 months
You can send them your drives, though I'm not going to do that because I can't risk some warehouse guy fucking up my HDD.

Also, completely dependent on your upload speed. It'll only take 6 months if I'm uploading at 1,000kb/s for me.

>by the way, your data is all gone
When has Backblaze completely lost consumer data?

and before someone says
>uploading data into botnet
I'm encrypting everything on my end, so all they'll see is unrecognizable data.

We're the outliers of the average person.

>When has Backblaze completely lost consumer data
Literally google exactly that.

>Dude wanted to backup 18 TB of backup on a home connection until he realized it's not going well.

>Messaged the customer support to complain => he got a timely reply, then decided to leave the service and got a refund.

>That looks like good service to me.

>P.S. I feel sorry for companies who have to deal with that kind of customers.

Fucking disgusting. And here I was about to upload 30TB of my data thinking your average person isn't some massive pleb that thinks that's alot of storage. Seriously, 30TB is nothing. Your average hoarder probably has 50TB.

Guess I'll look at CrashPlan.

time is an illusion explained by your velocity and location in 'space'. photographs are a static record of your motion through space.

Fuck the cloud, with my current internet speed at 1MB up it'd take 920 days to upload all 9TB of data. Screw that. Backup to another hdd (or two) is hell lot faster plus if the worst case happened the restore time would be way lower to. Time is money, and I'd rather use my time for other shit if I could.

Games, music, movies, bloated but needed software. The shit I have to use for work totals around 200GB.

Sure NTFS is used on windows desktops, but typically in a production environment with actual important data that data is backed and shared via either a NAS or a SAN which most of the time won't be running windows as NTFS is unreliable even compared to just basic ext4.

>Sure NTFS is used on windows desktops
And every Windows server as ReFS isnt bootable, doesn't support deduplication, or a myriad of other features.

>NTFS is unreliable
except it isnt.

either ReFS is shit or shadow protect is a shit company that cant even support it, ffs

~42 TB is just my Plex server, plebian.

Sure you can. Show me a screenshot showing storage and date/time. Otherwise you are full of shit.
