We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time (tm) ). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

20tb vs 22tb (alien.top)

Black friday time I buy a hdd.

Now I'm torn between a 20tb at about 17+/tb or pay more per tb and get a 22tb and also feature it in a YouTube video (I do YouTube).

Feels like price difference is between 350 and 450 approx. So the 20 is a better deal but would be nice to try a 22tb.

Also space is important so going for the bigger sizes is the reason for me but this here is only a 2tb difference.

What do you think? 22tb or 20tb hdd?

If you can wait until 11/20, you can get the 20TB exos 20 for $270 (13.5/TB). Currently, it's $280 ($14/TB)

I have the same feeling as you about whether to get 20TB or 22TB. But as of now, for me, the price difference vs just 2 more TB is not worth it. If price on the 22TB goes down, I'd prob. pick the 22TB.

Your comment helped me confirm it.

I'm in EU so prices are a bit higher here but the difference between the drive is relative anyway.

I'm probably going to get the 20tb.
