I mean, I came to you with quite noon question, but it's not really tech related.. Rather hoarding absurd.. And yes, I hoard whatever I can, not only data, still, keeping physical stuff is quite less time consuming, than data (despite huge issue i have with humidity, I can't get it settled around 45%).
Still, I managed to save enough to make purchase of backup drive for my storage. Main storage till this time was exFAT 16tb external drive from Seagate Expansion Hub line, I'm quite happy with it (before I got backup drive it barley ever worked longer than 8hours per one power on)., Bought another one, e Set it up with ext4 filesystem and decided to copy everything over using Grsync (basically GUI tool for rsync).. I know i used quite old business notebook for it, but transfer was around 14 MB/s, so theoretically it shouldn't take longer to move 5,6Tb from one to another than 5 days.. Took a bit over 6 ๐ and It didn't made or checked md5sum files.. Now I'm making checksum files on my first drive, since while checking file sizes on drives, one with ext4 gave information, that some of drives weren't readable (whatever that means).. It's getting close to 36 hours and it still have about 10 thousand files to process.. And I thought that it will take no longer than 8 hours to check all 46 thousands.. Oh, I should mention that also rhash gives prompts about "wrong embeded crc32" in some files, but don't list which..
So.. For future, guys, if you want to grab some backups, make a lot of patience and free time for it ๐คฃ But also, if you know what these prompts it gave me, meant or just want to tell me how stupid i was to believe rough calculations, feel free to do it..
Sorry I just wanted to share it with you
