petabyte hdd when?

>>58956901

>>58956901
Not for another decade or so, friend. A petabye is an unimaginable amount of storage.

Breddy gud. Why do you need a petabyte?

>>58956941
>>58956935

Isn't a petabyte just 1000TB? I'm finding it easier and easier to fill 1TB fast. I'd like to get into PB just so I can stop buying disks.

Probably not ever for spinning drives, but I can see the possibility happening with solid state memory maybe 3D Xpoint within a decade maybe not for retail, but having the ability to do so in a 3.5in form.

Never.
The areal density is already hitting a wall with HDDs and has fallen behind SSD.
Sure new tech is coming out which will allow for more stuff being stored on a HDD, but there's really not that much to be done when they move above 1Tbpsi, which is considered to be somewhat of a limit for the spinning medium.
New materials might make it possible, but that's a big if.
SSDs can basically just keep on slapping more and more layers to increase the storage size.

I have watched easily 80% of the media i have stored.

If I need more space, it's not like I couldnt delete some of the things I really didn't like that much.

A few sites I use occasionally fall off the net. I back'em up using wget. That takes a few GB.

Because a long time ago, young one, 1TB drives were the largest you could buy.

>>58962438
You are 100% right, I have to look up most shit to even remember if I have watched it.

>>58962476
Why'd you need that many at the time before 2TB but needed none after though. Doesn't make sense.

>>58962483
Also I have rewatched a handfull of shows but I generally don't keep them around I just download them if I feel like rewatching.

>>58962471
But is that the most available inside any single package?

Surely there must be more than 10

>>58962500
At this point it's fairly cheap to keep a large collection, I paid less than $300 for 8TB.

>>58956901
>1TB ssd
>2x 4TB hdd
>2x 1TB external hdd

So I guess somewhere around 12 TB total if I could smaller drives and such that are purely for occasional backup.

>>58962507
I've had a few drives that I was doing that with but when they failed I never bothered to grab the shows again and just stopped caring because usually anything worth rewatching is seeded.

>>58962340

s-shut up, I need it for muh YouTube video production to go along with my film studio and 86 employees.

8TB drives are pretty cheap now. I regret having bought a bunch of 4TB drives to make a raid. Should have just waited. I am not even using 8TB yet. If I had a petabyte, I wouldn't know what to do with it.

What's your backup strategy, /g/? I recently enabled BitLocker on all my drives and decided to start backing up my files too. Had a look at SyncToy, but Bvckup 2 seems to be the most robust solution. I wanted to supplement with File History for versioning a few folders, but it looks like Microsoft ruined it in Windows 10 by dumbing it down and making it difficult to use on anything less than your entire profile.

rsync to a second hdd
rsync to a server running ssh

>>58962810
most important files are in an encrypted container in dropbox
robocopy from local drives to nas every other day to reduce chance of overwriting good copies w/ files hit by a cryptolocker variant

Nothing major here. I'll be adding a 4TB drive to the desktop soon as the 2TB internal won't be enough for video projects I'll be working on soon.

>>58956901
the problem is that the market is not really there for petabyte hdd's.
Harddrives fail.
For business, this means you use multiple and zfs, so you can recover if that happens.
But if you have 1PB disk to hold everything, you cannot recover from failure as you loose 1PB at once if the drive fails.
Compared to 350 3TB drives, having one fail, doesn't really matter.
You can even store things on multiple locations this way, making sure it doesn't all go up in flames at once.

And for cold storage, tape is much cheaper and more reliable.

Eg, a safe with a couple of tapes is more secure for your long term backups than a harddrive.

If you are talking about LTO Ultrium tape, then you are very fucking wrong.

You can do it.

Either a DIY option like Openmediavault

or something from QNAP or Synology.
There are other makers for NAS out there, but not nearly as well established so while they got the basics down they might be nearly as feature/app rich as the first two I mentioned.

qnap has a live demo of their OS if you want to check it out

I am not sure what server your boss donated to you, you likely already know the specs, but check out its power consumption before you move forward.

It might have been free, but it might cost a fortune to keep running.
