Hello,

We are currently using a Synology NAS as a shared storage server for approximately 20 workstations/PCs. All files, programs, etc. are stored on the Synology server, allowing users to access their data regardless of which PC they are using.

The PCs are connected to the NAS via 1 Gbit/s, and the NAS is configured with 4x 12TB Western Digital Red Pro SATA III HDDs in RAID 6.

We are considering upgrading to 12x 4TB SSDs because performance significantly degrades when creating/deleting large numbers of small files (hundreds of thousands). As it is our main storage for our workstations, this cannot be avoided.

1. Is this upgrade even beneficial given the 1 Gbit/s network speed?
2. What are suitable SSD options? They must be 2.5" or 3.5" SATA as our server only supports these formats. I am currently considering the Western Digital Red SA500 4TB 2.5" model.

Any advice or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

I'm searching for a SATA SSD of 1TB, and I stumble across two options and I'm not sure which I should get.

I found an A-Data Ultimate SU650 1TB and a WD Blue SA510 1TB.

My PC has already used it's only M.2 port, so that's not an option.

Which one do you think it's the best?

Looking for firstly good quality and secondly cheap. Ideally with a storage/cataloguing system.

I have lots of tv series i'd like to rip to place on my plex server and its taking ages doing one at a time. I'd like to do maybe 4-6 at a time and would like opinions on the best way to do this? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you

I'm thinking of expanding my storage into a NAS in RAID6 (or maybe RAIDZ2 but I digress, I will ask questions about that separately). However, as we all know, RAID is not a backup! Thus, my question. I'd like to have a 3-2-1, so I was wondering if I should get 2 NAS machines, one for backup, which i also subsequently backup to the cloud. Or how you all are managing backups for NAS setups. Thanks in advance!

Well, well, well, 14 month ago i was on a cheap 2 Bay QNAP with 2x6TB drives and filled it from my desktop pc via qBittorrent. Just wanted to share my journey.

What happened since then?

• added 2x8TB via USB
• got a proper MoBo with 2.5G ethernet and 6xSATA + a Jonsbo N1
• set up TrueNAS Scale with some bumpy experiences
• filled the case up with 2 x 16TB on top
• got more and more into Home Assistant and similar stuff
• began to hate TrueNAS for my use cases
• switched to Unraid, added 6x more SATA, lost a drive
• now running Paperless, Home Assistant, Pi-Hole, Jellyfin, all the ARRs, some VMs and other stuff
• currently at 108TB with a headroom of 22 TB, but who am i fooling..

Really interested what my post would look like in a year from now.

How was your first journey?

I saw alot of cheap hard drives for sale in ebay and I have been trying to choose between HGST and Seagate. I have heard that Seagate drives are alot worse.

Also should I buy used enterprise hard drives anyway?

edit: I was looking at the HGST drives from goharddrive ebay store. It says they have 5 years of warranty too.

All the methods I used(browser extensions, gallery dl, inspect element) to download this picture: https://500px.com/photo/47014798 from 500px only produced a ~500kb image file until I stumbled on https://www.savelink.info/ which brought up a 12mb image file and I'm quite puzzled. Are they using a special script or something??

I have hward the news about it recently... And I am so damn terrified that the internet, especially the Internet Archive and online libraries, could be innedvertedly ruined by this... Is there anything I can do to help in some way? I don't wanna see the Library of Alexandrea burn again... This has been keeping me up all night with panic and worry.

I’ve been looking for a nas with more than 2 TB4 ports and 10gb nic. Seems hard to come by. Is there any TB4 hub that would support connecting more TB4 clients?

The TB4 qnap is expensive and does not have ecc ram which I find a little crazy. I want ddr4 ecc or at least ddr5 on die ecc.

Hello! I'm having trouble trying to download the raw stream from the Griff | Live at the Wiltern concert from this url: https://veeps.com/e/griff/3c2af3d2-1471-4caa-8091-eb11d132e4dd/08874b51-0dad-4c94-acdc-9b84ffba4e86

I've gotten the .mpd file but it's obviously encrypted so I can't view it 😭 Any way to decrypt or get the key for it? Thanks!

I found an archive of vhs recordings that I'd like to download but it contains over 900Gb of data. There is a torrent available but it doesn't seem like anyone is currently seeding it so my only option is a browser download. Is it possible to just let it run like a normal download until it's done or will firefox prevent it from happening? I'd like to prevent needing to manually download over 300 files individually

I'm building a new media server and unfortunately it will require 12x20TB drives.

It's actually insane.

The total cost for building the nas without drives is about $600.

With the drives (using 20tb WD reds from amazon as an example, which is the same prices as local retailers), the cost balloons up to around $6300!

Wondering if there is a cheaper alternative to buying full priced reds from my local retailer/amazon, or if I just have to accept the high cost, due to the number/size of drives required for the project?

I live in Australia, so bear with me for the ridiculous prices.

I'm looking to buy a 3 or 4 WD Red 12TBs. Currently sitting at ~~$375~~ $475 each bought locally. Prime day comes around, and Amazon are offering them for around $300/ea, but only from their US warehouse and international shipping. Now I know every second post here is about poor packaging with Amazon, but I thought I'd gather some thoughts anyway and if it's worth giving it a go.

I'm not personally in the market because 12TB drives won't mesh with my existing 14TB drive pool. But I love to see low dollars per terabyte, and we're at 6.25 with this.

Im looking to buy a portable external SSD to have a few Linux flavors installed. I have thunderbolt 3 and usb 3.0 on my two devices that I’ll be using it on. What is best/fastest setup I could do for something like this? Would just buying m.2 NVME with an enclosure be best, a plan old SDD, or something else. Any recommendations?

I just throw a new one everytime and maybe I ended up with duplicates of datas somewhere.

The original post: /r/datahoarder by /u/Vector_Heart on 2024-10-08 21:11:03.

Hi all. So, I want to start being more serious about my data. Personal photso, videos, images, documents, books, websites, etc. Nothing out of the ordinary. I have maybe around 1TB of total personal data. Not much considering what I've seen around here. My plan is to make 3 copies and keep one off site and doing a sync once a month.

Let me know if this sounds reasonable:

• 1 HDD that I'll keep at home.
• 1 HDD that I'll keep offsite.
• 1 SSD that I'll keep at home and as my main drive, since I want to use my laptop as a dumb terminal, with minimal to no data in it.

Also, is there way to sync these 3 at once? Is there any sort of... dongle? Connector.. thingy...? To plug the three drives and sync them? The SSD would be the one with the most current data and I want to sync the others.

Last, I was thinking that all these drives should be internal, since I´ve read they're better quality than USB ones. I guess I'd like the SSD to have an enclosure for daily use.

Anyway, is this possible? Stupid? Fine?

Thanks!

I've currently got a small desktop server w/ 4 drives running Ubuntu and the wife wants it out of my office. I've finally found a grove on usage and want to be able to expand the server space upward as needed. I have room for a 19" deep rack, which somewhat limits my server case options to a RM41-506 or something similar. I had wanted to get the Rosewill 4500 but I don't have a rack that deep.

I understand the concepts of raid and was thinking of that in the RM41 but it just doesn't have the expandability for future proofing. From what I understand JBOD doesn't get me any type of redundancy absent having 2 JBODs and duplicating the data. I'm happy to educate myself on certain technologies, but would appreciate someone pointing me in the right direction if I'm misunderstanding something.

What would you get for the server case vs other options for increasing data storage to 100+TB in the future with some sort of data protection?

There's a few channels I'd like to archive and while I could manually input each video into a YouTube-to-mp4 site some of these channels have hundres of videos and I'm hoping there's some site, downloadable program, app, or just a set of instructions I could use that doesn't require great skill with computer code / commands...?

Thank you!!

How do you suggest I get into data hoarding, or more fixing my data hoarding situation. I have about 12 TB of data across 20 different storage mediums (5 of which are optical - optical media bad). So what budget methods could I use to place all of my data in one place, that doesn't force me to sell my soul to the devil. Please use UK pricing and keep in mind my budget of £150 GBP ($196.38 USD on Tuesday 8th Oct). I'd like 6-10TB as I can compress my 12TB, and some I will put on low-access cloud backups that mean less to me, but I am still not deleting for god knows why. 6-10 TB will be enough, and standard SATA or similar means I can up it if and when I need to. I'd like it to be network attached, but if that means not reaching my goals then toaster it is.

Thanks internet people :)
