Eh hard drives are archival storage these days. They are DOG SLOW and loud. Any real time system like Nextcloud should probably be using ssds these days.
Hard drives are also relatively cheap and fast enough for many purposes. My PCs use SSDs for system drives but HDDs for some data drives, and my NAS will use hard drives until SSDs become more affordable.

Just wondering, why do you run a monero node?
How else are you going to bring up Monero in unrelated discussions about computer hardware?

CAN WE PLEASE JUST GET 3.5" SSDS. PLEASE
Best I can do is a 3.5'' inch SATA to USB adapter case with one of these tiny SSDs glued in

You'd still put the 40TB drives in a raid? But eventually you'll be limited by the number of bays, so larger size is better.
depends on a lot of factors. If you only need ~30TB of storage and two spare RAID disks, 3x 40TB disks will be much more costly than 6x 10TB disks, or even 4x 20TB disks.

I've been buying computer stuff for like 30 years and never once has any of it had any weird glowing stuff like on the box
You need to be getting the radon infused versions.

If 50TB is coming fast, then so am I

I thought green was "eco." At least the higher-end external ones tend to be red drives, which is famously why people shuck them to use internally because they're often cheaper than just buying a red bare drive directly, for some reason.
Correct about the greens. They used to be (might still be) the ones that ran at a lower RPM

That is absolutely egregious. 200GB game with a 45GB update? You'd be lucky to see me installing a game that's around 20-30GB max anymore because I consider that to be the most acceptable amount of bloat for a game anymore.
Agreed, it’s getting out of control. The most annoying thing is I’m not interested in PvP, just zombies, so probably 80% of that is all just bloat on my hard drive.

cool 50tb. i can now download more stuff.

Black ops 6 just demanded another 45 GB for an update on my PS5, when the game is already 200 GB. AAA devs are making me look more into small indie games that don’t eat the whole hard drive to spend my money on, great job folks.
E) meant to say instead of buying a bigger hard drive I’ll support a small dev instead.
Did it use 45 GB extra or were there just 45 GB worth of changes?

I know right. Why is this not a thing already? I mean I understand the various U.2, U.3, and EDSFF are great for high density data center installs. We have a 1U box in production that could be as high as 1 PB given current densities with E1.L drives but that’s enterprise level stuff. I just want a huge 3.5 SSD I could put in these pro-consumer level NAS boxes or maybe even one I could build myself for my home lab.

Thru exist but they're all several hundred dollars and 480 GB for some reason.

Do you have time to talk about our Lord and Savior FACTORIO? Here; just have a quick taste.

I don't know about that. These are spinning disks so they aren't exactly going to be fast when compared to solid state drives. Then again, I wouldn't exactly put it past some of the AAA game devs out there.
10 of these in a raid6?that's 4x speed and 400tb.

I have a few 960GB (ish? can’t remember exact size) 2.5in at work that are almost useless.

Requires an additional 45 clear to accommodate the update file and is currently sitting at 196.5. Deleting Hitman and queuing it up after the update is simple enough technically for someone like me with a wired high speed connection and no data cap, but still a pain in the ass and way too big for a single game.

I haven’t played much since my curved monitor got broken but between Stellaris and Rimworld I don’t know if there’s enough time in a day for another build queue. I’ll check it out at some point and fall into the rabbit hole I’m sure.

That's extra.
