Yes do that because if something happens to your external HDD you cannot get anything off of it because of the connection with the case and the HDD. Buying a HDD and then a external case is way cheaper and you can choose what you want and can swap out when needed.

Depends on how much you're storing and budget. absolute cheapest is maybe getting a blu ray burner and bunch of disks. but I haven't bothered with that route myself

>>156163438
Solid states wear down based on how often they're used. So if you leave them alone and don't touch them they'll last much longer than if install your operating system on it. They actually have a bunch of extra capacity hidden on them that they move to when the old bits die so you don't see the damage.

>>156163440
The chances over all are pretty small, better for smaller drives, and after the first ~4 years the chances stabilize, maybe about 2-4% a year depending on brand. So even running a drive 10 years is about 1/5 odds of failure. It adds up the more drives you run.

Unless I'm making a dumb mistake amazon is listing 1.25TB for $25. Actually not sure how long blu rays last but mechanical aren't reliable enough for long term cold storage. also if you're running more than 4 drives once you'll probably want to invest in a separate computer to turn into a NAS. also you can store disks in a fire proof safe if you're really paranoid.

Don't fall for the NAS/Raid meme. Raid is not a backup solution. Think of redundancy as uptime. Do you need your files available 24/7 and do you need to access those files away from home? If no to either of those, then you can make do with a cheaper alternative by simply buying an enclosure and putting some hard drives in that.

Let me repeat myself since it is important, RAID is not a backup. It is redundancy. You have no reason to be running a NAS server unless you have the requirement of needing it to be on all the time. Businesses, websites, etc would benefit from this. You wanting to backup your anime won't. It can be convenient and there's nothing with wanting to go that route, but do not think of it as a replacement for backing up your data. If you still want to do NAS/RAID, you will still need to make backups separately.

>My current collection is on a 4TB WD
Buy another 4TB drive and make a complete backup on the new drive. Now you will have two hard drives totally 8TB, but only 4Tb of that is usable since the other half is being used for backup. You use this same idea to keep expanding your collection. Need 2TB worth of space? Buy two 2TB drives. One to store files and the other to backup that data. You may think of it as a waste of space but this is what a backup entails.
>>
I've lost my entire collection multiple times from hard drive failure. It just taught me I don't really value my anime collection enough to care about backups. If I really want to watch a show again, I can find it again after a failure. I still keep stuff on drives because it's more convenient than redownloading it every time, but I really don't give a shit if I lose it all.
>>
>>156165891
Well if you want redundancy for 6TB in 2TB drives that's already 4/5 hard drives with 1/2 drives of redundancy. The 2 extra drives is probably excessive, but if you start with one it's going to be almost impossible to switch to 2 down the line.
Depends on preference and how much money you have to throw around. There's also cold storage blu ray or juggling external HDD and other options I'm forgetting to mention.

>>156152847
Get a NAS, never buy 2, 2.5, 3 or other odd sized HDDs they have high failure rates. Seagate tends to have the highest failure rates which is why their drives are so cheap. HGST is the gold standard.

Current data shows that 4 TB HDDs have the lowest failure rate but there isn't much data on 6, 8; 10 TB HDDs yet. 6 & 8 TB HDDs have dropped in price dramatically.

Everyone says that RAID isn't a good way to keep long term storage because spinning parts, but if you're going to ZFS is what everyone recommends.

I'm too lazy and moving around for school so I just keep 2 drives mirrored and check their performance with SMART every now and then. It's worth getting NAS rated drives for archival purposes.
>>
>>156166248
>Need 2TB worth of space? Buy two 2TB drives. One to store files and the other to backup that data.
I don't know why you're railing against redundancy. but for protecting against HDD failure RAID is cheaper than what's essentially mirroring every drive.
>>

>>
>>156166532
just to be clear >>156166248 is advocating mirroring every drive,
that's 6 drives for 6TB in 2TB HDD
as opposed to 4 drives with RAID5

In an office setting you want both redundancy with a onsite backup AND an offsite backup. the onsite backup is for when some idiot deletes shit, the offsite is for when the building catches on fire.
Redundancy is to protect against hard drive failure, which is what were worried about. don't accidentally delete your stuff. if you house catches fire or you're robbed then you're fucked.

>>156166724
>>156166732
I'm only trying to explain the difference between backing up your files and having RAID. They are not the same thing and shouldn't be treated as such.

In RAID 1, you have two drives running at the same time in the same machine. Drive B is mirroring drive A. If drive A dies, then you still have drive B running and the server is still up with no downtime. This is redundancy.

In a backup, you have drive A running in a machine. You connect drive B and copy the files from drive A to B. Then you remove drive B and store it in a safe location.

Notice the difference? In the first scenario, if both drives die somehow die you lose all your data. In the second, if drive A dies you can recover all your loss data from drive B that you have saved somewhere else.

>>156167308
>Redundancy is to protect against hard drive failure, which is what were worried about.
There are a lot more issues to be worried about. Raid doesn't protect against file corruption, human error (deleting files by mistake), virus/malware, software bugs that wipe out data, hardware problems that wipe out data or cause hardware damage (controller malfunctions, firmware bugs, voltage spikes), and fire/water damage.

For example, if one of your files gets corrupted in drive A, RAID ensures that the same file also gets corrupted in drive B. A backup ensures that you can restore your original file if the needs arises.

>>156167405
Newegg as some /a/non posted earlier is one of the better places to buy drives. A 1TB drive will typically cost you around $50.


Of course, this all assumes you care about backing up your data. If not, then you can ignore everything I said. I hope this at least gives you a better understanding of backup and raids. Google if not.

>In the first scenario, if both drives die somehow die you lose all your data. In the second, if drive A dies you can recover all your loss data from drive B that you have saved somewhere else.
The chance of both drives failing together are negligible in both cases, this is not what differentiates redundancy from backups. not to mention if you forget your backup drive for too long it risks failing for other reasons.

>Raid doesn't protect against file corruption
negligible risk and yes it does
>human error
This is the main reason for onsite backups in an office, but that hundreds of people waiting to fuck up.
just set up a trash bin in your home NAS if your that worried about drunk deleting stuff.
>virus/malware

>software bugs that wipe out data
>hardware problems that wipe out data or cause hardware damage
I have never heard of these happening. and a NAS would be on another physical machine, possibly in another room.
>fire/water damage.
unless your moving you backups to your parents house or something, fire is going to wipe both out anyways.

given there's a high fixed cost, your paying up to twice the price in drives to protect yourself from basically nothing.

And what are the chances of your place and your parent's place both burning to ground at the same time (assuming you actually have your own place and aren't in their basement)? And why move the drives physically when you can just hook both up to the net and sync the two? There's plenty of ways back up remotely.

there is no general sense. viruses can't just hide in data files.

you'll know imminently when someone goes wrong with a running drive and replace it. cold drives can get get their heads or platter stuck if left off for too long. but you won't know until you try to boot it up after your main drive fails. now both your drives are screwed.
Mechanical hard drives are NOT designed for long term storage.

>And what are the chances of your place and your parent's place both burning to ground at the same time
almost impossible, that's the point, but most people aren't going to bother

1. How clean is the energy you're feeding the HDD with.
2. How well ventilated your HDDs are.

Simply put, don't feed your HDDs with shitty PSUs and keep your HDDs cool( my 1TB one is at 29C and the 3TB one is at 30C right now).

1/2 I got a little more than 2TBs in my PC.

ReFS is available on Windows Home as early as 8.1 these days. There's not much excuse to not be using a filesystem that heals bitrot and can handle redundancy w/o the need for manual RAID configuration for your data drives.

Old picture but my HTPC is 95% full. I just got the a 6TB Toshiba 7200rpm 3.5 drive and my anime is exclusively going to be on the existing 3TB.

And I bought a 8TB external drive for the entire HTPC backup (plus personal backup) I got it for a steal.

I never said anything about flash storage. mechanical drives will fail even under perfect conditions. Google and black blaze have written extensive reports on their data centers that are publicly available.
>>
>>156163009
What, your seed size is less than 1.5TB at least? Get out.
>>
>>156170013
RAID5 doesn't scale and RAID1 is literally redundancy without geographic redundancy. If data loss is important then automatic replication to two or three locations is the only thing you should use.

Yup.
>>
>>156170639
Bingo. Best option IMHO is to have a NAS and a seedbox, and mirror the two regularly.

Hardware problems are a genuine issue, I have personally lost files due to a bad contoller on 2 occasions.

The first was on a 32bit controller using a 3tb disk. I was filling the disk up then suddenly it appeared blank. The start was overwritten by data meant to go just above the 2tb mark, and it continued writing a few hundred GB before I noticed

The second time was after a single disk failure on my raidz-2 zpool. It caused the cheap contoller to fuck out and cause permanent errors on the pool. I only run LSI HBAs now

You can store data on a VHS if you buy all the right doodads. Way more efficient than analog storage, even w/ paranoid ECC.
>>
>>156152847
How can you store so much anime when the size of the anime worth watching doesn't even come to 1tb?
>>
>>156170706
You can get a 3TB one for 85.

god damn I was just trying to tell off this guy >>156166248. read the post

do you really have geographic redundancy for your anime?
>>
>>156170838
A single series in 1080p could be as much as 100 GB. Don't be a retard.
>>
>>156167853
>A drive dying inside a NAS server means someone smashes the entire server and not just one drive inside of it dying
Ok then.

About 10TB on three different drives. I did have a small 500GB but that is mostly for 3DPD arthouse cinema.

And I've got around 250 or so GB on my laptop and a good 2/3rds of that is Gundam

I delete the anime after watching it if it's something I know I won't rewatch
>>
>>156171030
Easy enough to break a BTRFS raid on purpose, recover the live one onto a "fresh" drive, and rotate the orphaned copy to a locker or something at work every few months.
>>
>>156171030
Not for anime, most of it can be easily re-downloaded. If that ever changes I'll consider backing it up
>>
>>156172181
There's some rumblings now. Might be worth looking into compact formats for archiving, at least.
>>
>>156172181
yeah don't know why you're talking about geographic backups. google drive is good enough for personal files.

>>156171809
no idea what you're going on about
