>tfw fell for the 5400 RPM HDD meme

>>57988162
I have two 4TB 5400RPM drives in my computer.

Then I also have a 4TB 64MB cache 7200RPM and a 5TB 128MB cache 7200RPM WD Black.

And a 500GB SSD...

and a 250GB M.2 NVMe SSD.


What i'm getting at is it's good to have choice.

>buying a 7200 rpm drive for storage

I hope you like data loss, I'll take a 5400 RPM drive that can do 24/7 for 6 years any day.

>>57988206
I'm quite curious. What do you need all that storage for? Porn? Vidya gaymes?

>>57988243
Not him, but basically movies and TV shows. I only have a mobile 4 TB drive right now and it's almost filled up. Gonna need some more drives to act as a backup as well.

>>57988243
One of the 5400 RPM drives has anime, the other has movies and TV.
The 4TB 7200RPM has more anime
The 5TB 7200RPM has games that I dont want on the SSD.
the 500GB SSD is for games and anything i might be editing.
the 250GB SSD is for the OS and programs, as well as my current favorite games.

>he things 7200rpm is any less reliable

>>57988217
You have slower storage access though. Not that anybody really cares though.

But they are, unless you have proof otherwise?

>>57988301
Still decent, I can easily copy files over ethernet at 100mb/s

Power on hours count?

>not even a year old

I'll see you in 4 years when you start developing bad sectors, if you haven't already.

>>57988487
you joking? you realize most people don't leave their PC's on 24/7 right?

Also, 5 year warranty.

>>57988162
You should have fallen for the SSD meme instead, bruh.

>>57988511
>you realize most people don't leave their PC's on 24/7 right?
Of course not, most people have a NAS that they can leave on 24/7.

>Also, 5 year warranty.
Doesn't mean shit if you lose your data

>>57988534
>lose your data
>he doesnt have backups
fucking kek

>implying 5400 is any more reliable than 7200, the thread.

Fucking literal human waste.

>>57988571
>buy 5tb drive for storage
>need to buy 8tb to back up 5tb drive

why

>>57988669
Because i have fast internet and bulk online back space is actually not all that expensive these days.

Just pack everything into an archive, encrypt it and upload.

It's like $60 a year.

>Not using 10k RPM hard drives.

>>57988680
>online back space

I'd rather be my own cloud server, thanks

>>57988767
Enjoy paying for it then?

I have my own cloud server, I just keep my backups off site in case of catastrophic events such as hurricane, flood, fire, etc.

I have roughly 12TB backed up right now online for $60 fucking bucks.

It's got limited access (you can't download things more than a handful of times per year) but since it's a backup service, you dont need to have 24/7 access, I have my desktop to act as my cloud server for when I DO need that.

Since it's encrypted it's not like they know what i am storing, and even if AES-256 is broken, they'll just get my anime collection and some games.

FUCKING SEAGATE

Im just waiting for your proof.

 testing this stupid shit

You had ONE JOB

>>57988842
>cracking the enclosure

you asked for it

>>57989050
Yeah the clips are designed to break when you open the cunts. It seems to work fine despite the clicking though, I'll use it as a junk drive for a while I guess.

>wasting time, CPU cycles, HDD I/O and network bandwidth on creating, encrypting and uploading big-ass archives to a $60/yr botnet
>not using automated delta-transfers that take like a minute a day to a machine or drive you actually control
Great backup strategy.

>>57989361
Yeah how dare I spend $60 a year instead of literally several hundred+ on my own setup.

Not to mention losing the off site advantage unless I find somewhere offsite to house it, but then i'm paying for space, electricity, and internet.


Thanks, but no thanks.


Also, who the fuck cares if it IS a botnet? All they see are encrypted archives.

>>57988318
And your proof?

>>57989361
encfs -> acd_cli

Don't have to even think about it. With AES-NI instruction set, the cpu doesn't break a sweat.

>>57989707
It's not falling for the cloud meme or paying for it why I think you're retarded. It's the "Just pack everything into an archive, encrypt it and upload" part, instead of using delta backups like a civilized human being.
