an ssd is the most cost effective upgrade you can buy

How many of these threads are you gonna create? Your keyboard thread was a dud too.

I use lto as my main drive

um she's actually 500 years old

VOGLIO FOTTERE

Stop posting porn

SSD for system
SSD for primary storage
SSD for cache
HDD for long term storage

fight me

sauce?

Tape drives are superior for archival.

>SSD for cache
I'll fight you faggot
Ramdisk for cache only

Swap on SSD

Why?

Also why are tape drives so ridiculously expensive.

$500 for 300GB, seriously?

That's a drive, not tape.

Tape is fucking cheap, drives are not.

Non farlo user

>an ssd is the most cost effective upgrade you can buy
What's the cost per gb compared to a hard drive?

its not

cute nails

>he still uses a spinning rust drive as his main drive
I have 6 spinny drives, and I don't really see the issue.
>an ssd is the most cost effective upgrade you can buy
Is it really that cost effective of an upgrade if it costs a whole lot more per gigabyte than a spinny drive?

nope all my spinny rusts are for archive and storage of low priority games

Use microfilm.

Tape is so cheap that you can basically afford to have multiple copies of the same files.
$250 of tape can give you an effective 60TB of storage if your shit is compressible enough on ancient LTO-5 tapes.
It's only the tape drives that are the killer.

At one point I would have disagreed with you to an extent, but then I leaned that even enterprise magnetic drives have a URE of 10^15, 125 TB, which means rebuilding on a Raid 5 has a good chance of failing hard.

And then I learned just consumer grade SSDs have a URE of 10^16, with Enterprise and Hardened verisions going up to 10^17 and 10^18 respectively.

Modern URE rates on magnetic drives are absolutely atrocious, and it's why many companies just default to triple mirroring their data. Parity schemes are worthless when you can't rebuild the damn array reliably when it fails.

Some faggot anime crap.

Isn't there an inherent flaw with some of the early 10TB drivers where your almost guaranteed to hit a URE not matter what?

Yeah, that inherent flaw is called an imperfect understanding and control of magnetic fields on the nanoscale level.

Bits are getting so condensed we needed to develop new formulas to differentiate one bit from it's neighbor because the magnetic fields of each are overlapping heavily. We need new more active technologies such as microwaving the damn drive or literally heating it up just so that we can try and manipulate the metal more consistently rather than being content with 70% of the field being turned one way and moving on.

Where can I get a bf like this?

???????????????????????????????????

Really makes me think
