ah, the real reason why spinning rust will have to go away at some point: every time capacity doubles, any full disk transfer or wipe takes ~40% longer.

4-6 TB drives already take a quarter to half day to do anything, and the having to wait over a full day for 20 TB drives to get formatted, imaged, or scanned just seems maddening.

It will if you put water in it and turn the burner on.

>Only having 100Mbps network
C'mon anon, it's 2015. Not even Gigabit yet? Shit, business grade networks should be using 10Gb copper switches by now.

Yea, it sucks, but I'm a cheap fuck and don't want to get rid of working hardware.

It's actually faster if you look away

transferring 1 large file is faster than transferring a million small files. its too late now, but archive anything that contains 5k+ files.
