Just wondering, why do you run a monero node?

CAN WE PLEASE JUST GET 3.5" SSDS. PLEASE

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Did it use 45 GB extra or were there just 45 GB worth of changes?

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