What is the usecase for drives that large?
I 'only' have 12Tb drives and yet my zfs-pool already needs ~two weeks to scrub it all. With something like this it would literally not be done before the next scheduled scrub.
there was a time i asked this question about 500 megabytes

I too, am old.

Well, it's a Seagate, so it still comes out to about a hundred bucks a month.
Why do you wound me like this?
-
no thanks Seagate. the trauma of losing my data because of a botched firmware with a ticking time bomb kinda put me off your products for life.
see you in hell.
I had a similar experience with Samsung. I had a bunch of evo 870 SSDs up and die for no reason. Turns out, it was a firmware bug in the drive and they just need an update, but the update needs to take place before the drive fails.
I had to RMA the failures. The rest were updated without incident and have been running perfectly ever since.
I'd still buy Samsung.
I didn't lose a lot of data, but I can certainly understand holding a grudge on something like that. From the other comments here, hate for Seagate isn't exactly rare.

Defragmenting...
One of the worst things that the newer Windows versions did is get rid of that little view of defragmenting. It was much more interesting than watching a number slowly tick up.
-
That quite large then.
I wonder how many pictures of nude bananas you could fit inside??
Depending on the quality you want to deal with, at least 3.

A lot of modern AAA games require an SSD, actually.
On top of my head:
Cyberpunk, Marvel's Spider-Man 2, Hogwarts Legacy, Dead Space remake, Starfield, Baulder's Gate 3, Palworld, Ratchet & Clank: Rift ApartForza Horizon 4 and 5 don't say they require an SSD I think, but when I had it on my hard drive any cars that did over 250kph caused significant world loading issues, as in I'd fall out of the world because it didn't load the map.

Forza Horizon 4 actually does include an SSD in its requirements. Thank you for reminding me about that.

It does technically work without it, just don'tgo over A class, don't do sprints and there was 1 normal circuit that's a tad big in a forest bit

If a game isn't fully playable without an SSD, then I consider it a requirement.
Ever try playing Perfect Dark without an Expansion Pak back in the day? It'll technically work, but you'll get locked out of 90% of the game, including the campaign. Similar thing with SSDs today.

I've had a couple random drop from my array recently, but they were older so I didn't think twice about it. Does this permafry them or can you remove from the array and reinitiate for it to work?
well, it depends. if they were dropped just because they are smr and were writing slowly, I think they are fine. but otherwise...
what array system do you use? some raid software, or zfs?
-
Nah, the other stuff will all fit on your computer's hard drive, this is only for porn. They should call it the Porn Drive.
I "only" have a 1TB SDD. If I wanted to download a new game I would have to delete one that's already on here.
-
they were selling wd red (pro?) drives with smr tech
Didn't they used to have only one "Red" designation? Or maybe I'm hallucinating. I thought "Red Pro" was introduced after that curfuffel to distinguish the SMR from the CMR.
I don't know, because haven't been around long enough, but yeah possibly they started using the red pro type there

It's to play Ark: Survival Evolved.

What's scrubbing for?

Yes, fuck Newegg (and amazon too). I've been using B&H for disks and I have no complaints about them. They have the Seagate Ironwolf Pro 24TB at $479 currently, but last week it was on sale for $419. (I only look at 5yr warranty disks.)
I was not in a position to take advantage as I've already made my disk purchase this go around, so I'll wait for the next deep discount to hit if it is timely.
Christ, remember when NewEgg was an actual store? Now they’re just a listing service for the scum-level of retailer and drop shippers. What a shame.

A ZFS Scrub validates all the data in a pool and corrects any errors.

Great, can't wait to afford it in 60 years.

What drives do you have exactly? I have 7x6TB WD Red Pro drives in raidz2 and I can do a scrub less than 24 hours.

There is an enterprise storage shelf (aka a bunch of drives that hooks up to a server) made by Dell which is 1.2 PB (yes petabytes). So there is a use, but it's not for consumers.
