TheImpressiveXSay Hello to the World's Largest Hard Drive, a Massive 36TB Seagate
elucubraMakes me shudder. I have to replace a drive in my array, because it is degraded. It’s a 4TB. Imagine having to replace one of these. I’d much rather have a bunch of cheaper drives, even if they are a bit more expensive per TB, because the replacement cost will eventually make the total cost of ownership lower.
Your mom likes a Hitachi
Until you run out of ports or cage space 😂
So if you have been around long enough you might remember the Hitachi (IBM) deathstars wizardprang.wordpress.com/…/the-last-deathstar/
I see Hitachi and think no fucking way, where as Seagate I used to see as an always yes. Now I just stick the disks in a zfs array and call it done
What I’m really waiting for is large capacity ssds with sata.
Yes I remeber Deathstars. However, these past years I perfunctorly peruse Backblaze’s yearly drive failure reports, and have noticed a trend, which is that most drives are fine, but every year there are a few that stand out as very bad, and they usually Seagate/WDC.
Exceptions yada, yada
