you can get a reliable seagate STBV4000100 4TB hard drive for about 150 US dollars imagine how many unix programs you could write and store on this thing? you could drive yourself absolutely batty over the obsession of how many unix programs you could store on it, and no matter how hard you tried you'd probably only reach 2% capacity before you died. that by itself is terafying to me

I need them to drop a little lower. . . I lucked up when I built my last NAS and ordered 5 3tb disks a day before that tsunami destroyed the factories. The day I bought them $119, the next day $250

I lucked up when I built my last NAS and ordered 5 3tb disks a day before that tsunami destroyed the factories. yeah that was fun, i got a 2TB drive for around $80 and in just a few months the same drive was going for nearly double in price. total pain in the rear end, i was CJing for a small town then and we couldn't get any hard drives (because anywhere we could order from was out of stock or extra super expensive and we were extra super poor/cheap lol) RAM prices are all hosed up now (or maybe just back to normal???) 2 years ago i got 8GB for i think just under $40, now its a struggle to find that for under $70. i mean yeah thats still affordable but goddrat was memory cheap for a while

every manufacturer has some gimmick to get to 6tb, i just think hitachis helium gimmick is coolest. this anandtech article is p. good. hitachi uses helium to cram seven 860gb platters into a drive, wd cuts rpm down to 5400 to cheaply cram 1.2tb on a platter and puts five of them in, seagate moved to a weird form factor to cram in a sixth 1tb platter. e: 2.5" drives are faster/lower-power/more efficient for a given volume though. im surprised no one is making GBS threads out 4200rpm 2.5"x12.5mm NAS drives Alereon fucked around with this message at 18:24 on Jul 25, 2014 |

do hybrid drives work well or is it a gimmick? it seems like that would be the best solution, to let the computer handle what goes on the fast drive and what goes on the big drive
