Data Hoarder

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.

Assuming you have unlimited power and noise tolerance

I would start with a used dell 720xd for $350 and then fill it up with drives. If you need more add jbods

Okay lets say you go the prosumer approach:

1x QNAP QuTS hero TS-h973AX-32G ~ 1300€ each

2x Samsung OEM Datacenter SSD PM9A3 15.36TB, U.2 ~ 1400€ each

3x Toshiba Cloud-Scale Capacity MG10ACA 20TB, SATA 6Gb/s ~ 300€ each

Right at 5k and you get 15TB NVME RAID1 (mirror) and 40TB HDD RAID5 (parity). Without mirror/parity it is 30TB NVME and 60TB HDD raw space.

How fast is fast? SSD fast? 7200RPM HDD fast? Whats your use case? You (generally) get to pick two.

  • Massive amounts of Storage
  • Fast storage
  • Reasonable Budget
[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Us = the community :) the two I pick is massive amounts of storage and fast storage with budget of $5000

Not for business, just imagine a lot of porn

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

$2000 - 45 Drives HL15 case, motherboard, etc

$2000 - 6x22 TB WD Red (or whatever size you can get after black friday)

$1000 - 5x4 TB SATA SSD of your choosing

132 TB of HDD storage (raw) + 20TB of SSD storage (raw) delivered over SFP or 10GBe
