Hi!

Do you know a good product/way to store many enterprise (internal) HDDs on little place (like in a grid)? They don't need to be connected to a server/PC. I just want to keep them stored safely and in a space-saving way

Thanks :3

Would be nice to index and be able to search easily too

Few years ago i had an little software or a bat file that would ask me to log into Crunchyroll and then paste the URL of the video and it will start downloading it.

I did this to download an anime in Spanish for my dad. Couldn't find it in the 7 seas. I am now trying to download another show in Spanish that can't be found but I found it in an obscure streaming app.

Are there any software that does that? Or should I keep looking for a torrent?

The cheapest cloud storage is $50/TB*month (storage only, additional cost for network bandwidth) by OVH and Hetzner. How can we offer more competitive prices?

Many HDDs with bad sectors but still working otherwise get disposed.

Is there a technical solution to use redundancy schemes like ECC or fault prediction algorithms to lower chance of irrecoverable data loss, so these drives can be used commercially until they stop working completely?

I have thousands of photographs of birds and other wildlife that are all keyworded via windows keyword metadata. Right now, I am using Dropbox because it allows you to search via these keywords, but with vault going away, I have reason to want to find a different platform — but this keyword search is pretty vital to my catalog, and I'd rather not divide storage between services.

Are there any others that let you use the windows keywords? I've tried Google drive, OneDrive, and Jottacloud, but none of those work. Google is rather unhelpful because searching for "keyword" support only tells you how to search for words in a document, not the metadata. And I don't want random AI generated tags, they have to be species specific in most cases...

I am a noob data hoarder with ambition. The Centurylink excessive use policy is dated and says 1tb and over is abuse, can anyone make me feel better that is ok to be a hoarder on Centurylink? I have resorted to downloading at night for fear of getting on their radar of excessive use.

Hi, I use raspberry pi + an external HDD as a nas / home server. I want to expand my storage and also make use of raid 5. I found used QNAP TS-419P with 4 4TB WD Reds for 6500 CZK (~270 USD). I think even for the disks alone, this is a good deal, SMART looks good. The NAS itself - I am not sure about its usability - it is very old, I found reviews from like 2009. I am not going to use any advanced features, I just want to use it as a RAID storage connected to my raspberry pi 5, which handles the services.

I don't want to be cheap, but a 4 disk NAS/DAS with disks would cost me multiple times more than this. What do you think, is is a viable option even today?

PS: I know this setup is not ideal. I would build a full-fledged server myself, but don't have time+space for it yet.

Been a while since I've researched hard drives...I dont know much about the different brands and their tiers.Basically I need a large (at least 20TB) external to use as an SMB plugged into my nvidia shield. Its only going to store large 4k movies locally. (blu ray rips). Each movie is around 60gb.

My AV rack has limited space so something more compact OR something I can lay flat.

Looking for recommendation on brands and models. I'm looking for something reliable. I'm not sure how long newer disc drives are expected to las but is 10 years reasonable? Also, pretty sure it needs to be exFat capable since I rip off a macbook pro (I know it doesnt matter when its being used as an SMB but I want to be able to use it with my laptop).

Budget is flexible - depends on size

Thanks in advance!

Hi all, trying to put together a home server with this board and it's been trouble. I heard that using nvme on these boards hurts performance, so I went with a SATA SSD from silicon power instead, but it's not being picked up in bios or in windows. My NVME 970evo is working fine though. Any advice?

Also, I'm having severe instability running a Patriot 8gbx3200mhz stick and have to run it at 3000mhz. Is this a common issue?

I can't believe DeepSeek has even revolutionized storage architecture... The last time I was amazed by a network file system was with HDFS and CEPH. But those are disk-oriented distributed file systems. Now, a truly modern SSD and RDMA network-oriented file system has been born!

I'm losing my mind over choosing an enclosure. I just want a simple plug and play device and I've come down to these three options as they have I believe the best reviews/reputation.

1. Terramaster D4-320 - $171
2. Mediasonic HF7-SU31C: $140
3. Mediasonic HUR5-SU31C (2 bay): $70

All are 10gb but last one is an outlier, being 2 bay instead of 4 like the others. 2 bays is probably enough for me seeing how this will be used primarily as a backup solution, not to be run 24/7.

edit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZdEqEWiA2CE

Leaning towards the D4-320 because of this video? He addresses that USB enclosures are so unreliable because they use "SATA port multipliers" but this one averts that. No clue what that is nor what other models do the same, but man, should I just bite?

Same deal as Walmart was having a few days ago, but a great price either way. I think I've seen them get down to $249 at Best buy maybe, but this is close to as good as it gets for these.

You will have to deal with the 3.3v line from the power supply for normal desktop usage, but there are tons of workarounds right in this subreddit.

I have many of these in 8 and 20 tb and have had no complaints.

If you are interested in these but don't have the money right now I'd recommend camelcamelcamel. It's how I found out about this. Set a price and put in you're email and they'll alert you when it gets to your price point, no registration needed.

Good luck!

Pretty much the title. I needed a couple of NAS drives for a project and noticed that Seagate had these things marked down on their website, couldn't argue about the price :)

Does anyone have any experience with these drives? I'm looking for a cheap 8tb option to throw into my Plex pool and they're up on Amazon for $89. How much louder are they than my 5400rpm wd blues?

The original post: /r/datahoarder by /u/CharlesDuck on 2025-02-27 19:20:46.

Hoping a hoarder with a similar experience or disk whispering skills could help out. I have an 8TB Exos drive moving from a NAS to a brand new machine (Lenovo pre built desktop, my new server). It powers on (spins and gets warm) but is not discovered in BIOS or Win11, nor when booting unRAID

• Mobo has all bios and chipset updates
• Other cables or mobo slots do not work
• Old 2TB disk in the same place works
• Moving it back to NAS, the disk works

It’s also not the 3.3v issue I see Seagate disks having, since my power cable does not have this line, and the symptom would be not powering on

So I’m thinking this combo just doesn’t work and I’m out of ideas. Firmware upgrade the disk? Could there be something about the data on it? (Should be empty) Any ideas or experience appreciated

Disk model: Seagate Exos 7E10 ST8000NM017B maybe from 2022-23

Is there anyone working on backing up the doge.gov website where they are publishing what they consider savings in the Federal Government? If so, that thing has links to fpds.gov for most of the entries, which should also be backed up for the corpus to be complete.

Hit me up if you’re interested.

A tale as old as time, I'm sure. I'm currently running ~15tb in random drives attached via USB to an old Optiplex (i3 3220) running Windows. Obviously I'd like both more storage and some kind of protection against failure like RAID. I've also just begun getting into Plex so I'd ideally be streaming to a TV, single screen at a time. At any rate, I'd like to keep it's power draw similar if not less.

I also remote into the computer to access it. For example, I can plug an Mp3 player or emulation handheld into the Optiplex and transfer files from laptop or tablet. I know I'm likely doing this "the hard way" but I like a desktop that stays put, no matter what device I access it from.

I think I'd like to do 4x 12tb drives. Should I replace the drives with a DAS and call it a day? Do the same with an n100 mini PC? Stuff the drives in a full size Opti (i5) I have? Spring for an all-in-one NAS box?

I fear I'm getting lost in the weeds here... TIA for any guidance.
