I've got a server for a client company that wanted to run their software on it. I impulse bought the hard drives, then forgot about them. They arrived like 3 weeks later while I was gone and the return period is past due. The client, who is an autist programmer said they didn't need it at the moment so I'm stuck with them. I like being prepared for things like this but I've learned nearly every programmer is a literal autist who can never make up his or her mind, ever even if they sound so sure of themselves. You'd think after this happening a few times I'd learn by now, but no.

Obviously make the next MegaUpload senpai.

>>59818335
this is interesting. might try this but where to start?

>>59818526
Damn, tough luck.

>>59818244
Install Gentoo on ALL OF THEM

Create a RAID10 array and store every TV show, movie, documentary, etc. you'd ever possibly want to watch.

>>59818244
Theres so much shit you can do

Use a hard drive as a server
Use a hard drive as a personal file server
Use a hard drive to mine coins
Use a hard drive to hoard shit
Use a hard drive so you can run multiple operating systems
Use a hard drive to log all your connections

>>59819391
>Use a hard drive to mine coins
I thought you needed at least a GPU, preferably a FPGA or an ASIC to mine coins? What do you mean by this?

make a big nas server and set up a cloud file hosting service

>>59819854
Huh, that's pretty cool, not 100% sure I get how it works. Looks like you need a lot of free space to not make a pitance, 60tb should be pretty good though.

>>59818244
Bebop

>>59818573
Uh, you generate 59TBs worth of hashes and you sell the collisions. I hope you know at least a little bit about security

>>59818244
Jizz on them

Use them for your own needs and sell the rest.
Set up a NAS with 2 raid setups, 1 for use, 1 for backup.

Then build a small server and ask to have it at a friends for off site backup.

Might be a start for professional file hosting but
60TB becomes 30Tb when you need the redundancy

Service provider with a lot of storage space that you need to use to make money while using minimal bandwidth?

Here's a new service you can offer: Backup mirroring of Git repos.

Many people use Github, Gitlab, or other services for the working copy of their project; but what if a complaint gets their repo nuked? For a low price, you will set up a client that will periodically pull from their repo, to maintain a disaster recovery backup.

Low bandwidth; you can schedule the pulls for times when you have spare capacity.
Low CPU usage; you have total control over when the pulls happen

You could even rig up secondary offsite backups to Glacier, or Google Coldline for an extra fee.

Another benefit; low levels of customer interaction!

Since this is a "disaster recovery" backup; there is no way for them to access the data without sending a physical letter. Make the burden to contact you high and charge them extra for the "high security".

Either resell them or offer a cheap encrypted storage for anybody interested if you have a white IP. RAID 1+0 + UPS is a must.

Why in gods name? Every supplier here delivers such things on the next day.

>>59822563
They were on sale and ran out of that particular model so they had to order more from the manufacturer. Happens every so often when you order a lot of shit and the vendor doesn't have the needed supply and oversells because they're greedy fucks.

>>59822385
Like most residentials I have shit upload speeds. My work internet could do it but obviously I'd need a good VPN that won't fuck me over like most do.

Download every single torrent by UniTeam [UTR] and seed them forever.

>>59818244
>Mine burstcoin?
Extra storage does not facilitate this.

>>59818244
Give me few of them and I'll give you terabytes of space on my cloud server

>>59818244
collect 60TB of cp and set a new world record.

you'll become famous and a legend.

Make a file hosting in TOR, or i2p.
Worst case scenario:
You get raid by police in the middle of the night for storing child porn.

Best case scenario:
You own half of the darknet websites and get paid shitload of money.

2000/60 = 34$/TB
I wouldn't say it is a terrible bad price.

they're NAS drives. They're not refurb deskstars you see floating around fleabay.

Acquire cheap bandwidth, then set up a bittorrent proxy. You download the best torrents and offer people "premium access" to the latest films and pron via a website. Advertise around town as a "subscription movie service". You'd be surprised how many people are too dumb to download.
