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.

Can anyone estimate how much money would I spend for 150TB storage of hard drives? Like the minimum money (if i buy these hard drives in sale) and maximum money ( if i buy these hd in undiscounted price)?

Do you recommend doubling this 150TB to save trouble from corruption/hd failures? Thank you in advance.

You didn't say where you live and what budget you have. What solution do you want to plan, what HW etc. So I assume you live in Europe, amazon.de, going shuking, you would need 10x18TB drives for 292€ each, total 2920€. Then you can arrange it on RAID 5 and get 162TB, RAID 6 and get 144TB, or unRaid with double parity and get 144TB.

I just Google on amazon.de and do some basic math. It didn't take too much.
