Oh oh… I feel the sudden urge to start hoarding stuff and hosting an IPFS node 😅

Resilvering a drive failure gonna take ages
Man, I remember when someone on reddit got mad upvotes for saying “5tb hard drives don’t exist” in response to me, as the external 5tb hdd I was using sat 2ft away from me.
And here we are looking at the [BRAND] advertisement for 120TB drives.
I’m pretty sure they were referring to how the more common sizes are 1, 2, 4, 8, 10, 12 TB and so on. 6 is semi-common. 5 is relatively rare, so they probably didn’t realize they exist.
I own a couple of 5TB drives. At the time when 8TB and above were rare and expensive, it wasn’t that strange.
I remember when I got my forst 120gb drive. I happily installed it on my win 2k and… bios didn’t like it, OS didn’t like it and read its capacity wrong. I forget if I used windows or linux but after I cut the drive into 2x60gb it worked great
That brings lemmy hosting its own videos much closer!
