Yes but in low quality and only for emergency use.

I have under 1 TB of stored anime, but then again I also have a good amount of physical media that I have yet to store digitally so I think about 3-4TB if ripped converted and all that jazz. It's still not a lot I think.

On this drive I have Japanese TV shows and stuff. Gaki and all that stuff.

Umm no.

Hard drive failure rates spikes depend on few key things. Its not storage space.

The main problem with HDD failure with the past few years was the flood affected drives being sold to public. This screwed lot of the large HDD up. That was 6 years ago, so the myth needs to stay dead.

The real problem is some companies are pure shit. Seagate and Western Digital/WDC are selling consumer grade HDD with high failure rate. HGST is the most reliable and Toshiba follows second. Seagate/WDC are 3-5X more likely to die than the HGST ones. Thats year-to year basis.

>https://www.backblaze.com/blog/hard-drive-benchmark-stats-2016/

This guy does HDD failure rate stats every quarter, every year for the last few years. Its been extremely useful in determining quality and factual information on HDD stats.

WCD died, we got apl and red
BCG died, we got GGn and uGC
Nyaa died, we got AB, BBT

this is why ab is shit, you either waste hdd space or fuck your ratio.

Not to mention if you download 1 epsiode out of a huge pack that has almost zero seeds you have to seed it a ridiculous amount. I got fucked over for downloading 1 episode of One Piece and a couple eps of naruto. Their H&R system is fucking horrible. Despite making a few releases of my own for AB i got banned for not wanting to seed a couple episodes in massive packs (ratio was over 7.0)

I'm pretty well covered for the moment I hope, recently deleted a few ones I'd seen but they were all pretty popular stuff that won't be lost to time.

>>156693051
Absolutely yes. Spend a couple hundred dollars on a good NAS and buy new harddrives when needed, expanding storage when you fill up. MUCH MUCH easier than installing a dozen HDDs on your computer.

Plus it makes it much easier to stream to other devices in your home, seed your torrents, etc...

>>156680929
I'm just glad i had an account on ab WAY before Nyaa was taken down.

>>156693157
any suggestions for one?

>>156693157
Not him, but are there any alternatives to NAS that do not require network sharing?

If not, how does security and access to NAS work? Do I need to download files to access them or is there some sort of virtual drive at play? What are the security constraints like and is it possible for the NAS to be accessible outside local network?

>>156693246
It really depends on what you want to do, how many drive slots you want, if there's any particular software you want it to come with. I'd just play around on newegg and figure out what features you want, BUT I would buy the drives separately unless you get a really good deal.

>>156691507

>Star Wars Ep. 3

Shit taste confirmed.

>>156693157
>Couple of hundred dollars
This is why I don't have NAS , I'd rather buy a new hardware/additional HD when It does the same job of archiving.
>Buy a new drive
>Copy the thing
>Bury it on some bunker
Simple.

>>156693311
Yes, you don't need your NAS on the network to be accessed.

Depends on the NAS and the software you use. It depends on how you want to do it. Yes you can make it accessible over the internet but the security depends on how you want to do it. Many NAS support full drive encryption.

Part of why I'm being vague and unhelpful is because you can use Linux and do literally anything you want.

>>156693432
I used to think that but now I have 7 external hard drives and it's a pain in the ass to keep them organized, especially moving them around as I travel. A single NAS would have been much much easier to handle than 14 TB of external hard drives.

>>156693442
How would you access your Network Attached Storage if it isn't on your network?

>>156693363

Only 2 bays? My lower limit is 4 bays because I'm looking at 4TB drives, but I'd prefer 6 bays.

>>156693533
Some NAS connect directly via ethernet without a router in the middle.

Why don't we just make a new anime torrent agglomerate, since we have hundreds of autists that hoard anime in their hard drives?

Someone name some series that I can use to get my ratio up on BBT while they're currently down

>>156693791
You don't think 2 is enough?

>>156694260
A 6 bay NAS is already set up for that many drives. If I was going to build my own from scratch I'd just get a RAID card with sufficient ports, but I'd rather have a prebuilt for portability anyway. I actually considered getting a rack server but I'm not that /g/ yet.

>>156694312

The larger JoJo versions seem to be pretty popular and are freeleech.

Likewise all the Ghibli movies. I tend to get a GB or so a night competing with all the seedboxes.

>>156694319
How much total storage do you want? Even with 6TB drives (which I wouldn't trust) and not cloning your drives, that's only 12TB nominal storage. I have enough data already that I'm looking in the 16-24TB range so I can also backup the more rare files as needed.

I also try to think more long term. I'd rather the NAS cost a bit more now and still be usable 5-7 years down the road. 4k anime is coming.

It's very cheap, you don't even need special hardware for things like unRAID or ZFS etc, you can use any HDD with just about any onboard/card controller (you could even throw USB drives in there if you wanted to)

>>156702761
I posted my 30TB array a few replies back, my other array is 15TB, both are parity protected and on a UPS, so I won't lose data if I lose a drive. Important stuff is backed up internally and externally.

It isn't that expensive to setup and run, especially if you add only a few drives to start with and add more as you need them.

Drives are still coming down in price after that big shock of the floods years ago. It's a bit of a pain if you run a bunch of small drives though, space can become a premium pretty quick.

>>156703024
I originally had the 15TB array, that started off as 3x 3TB WD RED drives (one drive used for parity) to give me 6TB. I added to that over time to give me the arrays I have now. I sort of future proofed it.

At the time, if I remember correctly, 3TB drives were $240AUD+. Those drives are now $170AUD... We still get fucked over for prices on anything down here in Australia.

Depends on the level of redundancy you want.

For RAID5, you take away one drives worth

eg, 4x 4TB = 12TB

RAID6 takes away two drives worth of space

eg. 4x 4TB = 8TB

Things like unRAID can work like RAID5 or 6 depending on how many parity drives you give it, but it doesn't stripe the data across all of the drives. So, if you had only one parity drive and you lost two drives, the other drives won't lose their data.

With a normal RAID5 for example, if two drives were lost, you'd lose every single piece of data. Hence why it's no longer recommended in business.

>fail proof
doesn't exist. Drives fail. Keep backups on optical media. Invest in a BR burner and burn backups to optical and keep in a spindle.

For a magnetic drive, I use a NAS with a RAID6 array and 6x2TB WD Red drives.

8+TB of storage, double fault tolerance.

>>156703627
Blue does.

Im waiting till it reaches 8TB for me to start downloading and turn full autism and remove credit pages of everything.

>>156703467
Not really, regardless of the drives you have in a RAID5, it'll always be one drives worth of capacity for parity (not dedicated parity, the parity is striped across all the array disks).

So, for RAID5
4x 4TB = 12TB
5x 4TB = 16TB
8x 4TB = 28TB
etc etc

The downfall is, you need all the drives to be the same size (you can have larger drives, but they'll lower to the size of the smallest drive)

That's for hardware RAID5 though, I don't recommend that at all to anyone.

>What is good level for home anime fan?
Depends what you want to store, DVD rips? BD rips? How long you want to keep it for? etc

Start with something in your price range.
If you go down the hardware RAID route, or other things like ZFS/unRAID, maybe 3x 3TB as a start? That'll give you 6TB.

It's difficult to suggest without knowing your usage and storage habits.

Because I bought them 20 years ago, and they still play fine?

Why would I watch Arcadia of my Youth on DVD when I have a sony PVM and a laserdisc player? It looks amazing.

Also, the Green Legend Ran box set is amazing. Full of neat artwork.

Same guy who had the mangatraders backup.

A good amount of people do, go talk with qqueue on #madokami.

It's a strategy guide for RE:CVX.
My friend let me borrow it in that condition way back in like 2006/2007 to help me beat the game.
When I was gonna return it, the fucker moved without saying a fucking thing, so I've held on to it since.
HOLY SHIT ITS BEEN TEN FUCKING YEARS

Pretty sure he just forgot, seeing how little he cared for it.

It's a cheap way to store things for a few years until you can afford a proper NAS with Raid6, which will run you about $1200-$1500.

A blu-ray burner and a spindle of discs will work for under $100 to back up a fair amount of stuff.

Is there anything in this that's not on madokami?

Hard drives fail all the time, it's not limited by brand

>>156703805

Listen you fuck. Spending several hours per day swapping discs to back up is not a good usage of anyones time. Tape drives and external hd are the way to go here.

>Tape drives
Someone explain this meme to me. Aren't tape drives expensive as fuck? I'd love to have backups that last me until NAND gets cheap or DNA storage or some shit.

>>156703588

bough mine in Fry's some time ago,

they also have it in Amazon:

I would say 60% DVDs and 40% Blu-rays.

I can fit 3 shows in 1 Blu Ray compared to 1 show in 2-3 DVDs.

Get a bunch of 100gb MDiscs, use anichart as a guide and just start work backwards gathering absolutely everything. You will have all of the anime for all time.

What's the best archival paper to print my mangos on?

How expensive will that 3D flash shit be though? It's going to take a while before at least 32TB SDD are actually affordable

>>156703931
Tape is expensive as fuck to run, and keep in mind you need a reader/writer, a temperature and humidity controlled environment, plus the actual tape itself. Write speeds are very slow compared to even hard drives, so it only really works for archiving stuff. Write once, store in a controlled environment until you need it.

Also, expect an upfront cost of around $3k for the tape deck and some tapes to get started.

Gonna keep an eye on that. There is no such too much storage available

What raid enclosures do you people have?

>>156704225
I use a server case, NAS enclosures are expensive as fuck for what you get.

>>156703853
>tape drive
>mechanical drives
>magnetic storage

Hope you have a climate and humidity controlled environment for those. A burned BR-R will hold data for a decade or more with no special storage considerations.

A magnetic tape will degrade in under 3 years outside of an optimal environment.
Hard drives these days generally fail within 5 years unless kept in an optimal environment.

>>156704339

I do, infact. It's called not living in a fucking shithole country where it gets +50C in the shadow. Humidity is steady, tempeature varies 20-25C which is just fine for tapes.

I don't even know how my 320GB external HDD has survived for eight years without failing me. Gotta backup that shit before it's too late

I have about 4 or 5 series and 3 movies on my torrent list right now.

After that dries up I'm fucked.
