I really need to get another 8TB hard drive to fix my RAID 1 set up, but they're so pricey 
@fujiwara I had my 12 TB RAID10 die last November and it cost like 450 to get 2x 12 TB drives in RAID 1.

@chikorita157 @fujiwara What are u guys storing that needs such high capacity storage?!?  

I literally survive on 1TB by clearing stuff every so often.

@anianimalsmoe @chikorita157 I have 8tb total for my pictures, anime, ROMs, and other stuff like that. I only use about ~4tb of it at the moment though.

@fujiwara @chikorita157
I #LiveDangerously and delete finished games and anime.

I've had regrets trying to redownload some pretty obscure stuff, but I feel better no being a #DataHoarder

@anianimalsmoe @chikorita157 I'm not nearly on the same level as everyone else, I guess I'm more of a novice data hoarder ^^7

@fujiwara @anianimalsmoe @chikorita157 I have a currently 25TB NAS as a side effect of my other storage needs (video work) so by comparison my hoarding of obscure anime series isn’t that bad (°▽°)

I picked up some Toshiba NAS drives recently and they seem pretty good value at the moment - might be worth a look. Still not cheap though.

@bobu @anianimalsmoe @chikorita157 They're not *too* expensive. I don't keep anything important on my "file server" (it's just a Samba share) but I really do need to get redundancy set up on it again so I kinda need to just bite the bullet...
@fujiwara @anianimalsmoe @chikorita157 Yeah I had a month of suffering where I had to buy a new NAS and new drives to allow me the right RAID setup going forward. It’s such a boring thing to spend money on too. Like buying a new router (ー ー;)
@bobu @anianimalsmoe @chikorita157 at least you're done with it though! Let's just hope you don't have to worry about it for a long time 
@fujiwara @anianimalsmoe @chikorita157 It’s 60% full already ahahahaha
@bobu @anianimalsmoe @chikorita157 I hope you have a plan for all of that... and I hope it doesn't have to be "buy more drives" o_o

@fujiwara @anianimalsmoe This is what my big raid array look like.

12 TB used.
