Are 6 and 8TB drives worth it these days?

I remember higher capacity drives to have high failure rates

Frankly, seeing as even BBS's still exist for old data, nothing ever completely dies. Data may be lost to the ether, but perhaps it was always destined for that.

Why? I noticed far fewer people are using torrents after nyaa died.

>>61863871
No lie

Anime really is a do_not_reproduce medium. I have 0 desire to watch it again, even dumb harem comedies that i liked.

CG3 im gonna watch thou

All I need ia Transformers 1-6 and I'm good for life.

I've got about 15 TB data. I just finished putting together my 8-drive raid 50 mediasonic box - 64TB so ~47TB useable.

Everything is backed up. Ideally I'd have a drive somewhere else in the world for backup.

I mostly have tv shows and older movies.

Backblaze say 8TB drives are more reliable thus far. But if you really want high reliability buy HGST drives (costlier though).

>>61863776
8TB is worth it. The 10TB drives are skewed higher in $/TB than the 8 and 6.

In the future, piracy will be significantly more difficult than it is today, and ISPs will be forced by law (paid for and written by je... the entertainment industry) to crack down hard on people who pirate media.

The end result is that normies go back to paying for the media they consume, but pirates simply head to the shadows. One person manages to pirate a new film or album, and they end up sharing it via physical storage. If you want the new summer blockbuster you'll have to find out which person in your group of friends was able to pirate it, then you'll meet them with a USB stick in hand. Or, you'll get together with your friends and everyone will bring their laptops and you'll all hang out over a piratebox party, grabbing whatever.

People will grow closer and a new era of true sharing among pirates will begin.

Should be fun.

>>61863695
hey, im not sure i understand.
is the idea to have a backup of all the stuff once you're unable to torrent things?

but people always want the new stuff, so there is little purpose in hoarding the old stuff, or am i missing something here?

Is it viable to use ReFS on Windows? I would prefer not to learn how to use btrfs just so I can have a file server and nor would I have a 2nd PC for it any time soon. It seems like ReFS has the important capabilities required such as RAID, scrubbing to prevent bitrot, ability to add drives of different sizes though I'm not sure it can do atomic COW snapshots.

I would hoard if there was anything worth hoarding in the first place.

>>61863726
When we get net neutrality we also enter an era of lawmakers regulating the internet. One of the first things they will do is act on behalf of copyright holders to regulate torrent traffic.

>>61864568
It's a nice thought but it's probably not how it will play out.

You're right that casual piracy might get harder and that the more dedicated pirates will find ways to keep at it. I don't think we'll start seeing people move the data physically to friends/family though, instead I think we'll see people using Syncthing, Resilio/BT Sync and other reasonably easy to use encrypted file-sharing tools more.

>>61865063

What kind of retarded naming scheme is that?

Please change it to 'Anime 2013 Spring' or something that makes a bit of sense when sorted by name.

>>61865578

one does not simply roll back the internet, the drop in piracy has not been from any anti pirate laws, its been from getting shit to the end user more conveniently than a torrent.

WTF are you talking about. Deep packet sniffing has been deployed for decades. Your isp knows how you use their service. They know when you torrent, and I'm sure the assumption by the FCC will be that by in large BitTorrent is a platform for piracy with little to no legitimate use.

>>61863695

>Who here is back to buying CDs? MP3 will be almost if not completely dead soon...

Same post 18 years ago.

I horde almost all of what I watch and download now. Since the nyaa scare I've gotten a little bit paranoid about losing it all. I keep most of it on a 2tb external at the moment but am thinking about getting a decent low speed 8tb to put in my main system and also another external to use as a back-up

>>61865813

Is this the movie Solaris? I wanted it but I could not find a working filehost. Uploaded.net started to delete content.

Would you recommend the 8 TB archive HDDs for someone who only saves 4K movies on them? My HDDs run 24/7, is there a noticeable difference in lifespan?

I only just stuck a 250 GB storage drive in my PC because I had it laying around with no other use. Still have no use for it so it sits empty, alongside my half-full SSD. The only stuff I keep are important documents and sentimental photos and those only take up a sliver of an external archive. For all the FUD I've always either found what I've wanted or not been too fussed if I can't.

>>61865764
They can't detect torrenting over vpn.

>>61866168
First, most people including torrenters don't know what a VPN is let alone how to use one. Second, VPNs will become regulated in the name of security and require some sort of licence/special privilege to use.

How would I go about backing up 5TB of data onto an 8TB drive?

As in I don't want the drives to overheat and break since they're externals in an enclosure.

Maybe do 500 GB sessions, then pause for 30 mins, then keep repeating?

>>61866331
>As in I don't want the drives to overheat and break since they're externals in an enclosure.
It is usually the enclosure that breaks. Not the drive. And anything within the operating temperatures of the drive is ok. Just backup everything in one session. If you care enough, I guess you could place the drive in front of the intake fans for your system.

I have about 3TB of movies and TV, and another 1.5TB of music, photos, and software on my home server. And then I still have a ton of DVDs in storage and a thousand books or so.

While I don't use torrents to get my media, I also don't think they're in danger of dying, net-neutrality or no; there are ways to disguise traffic.

Torrents have been at least a fifth of all internet traffic since the tech went critical mass back in the mid00's. It turned piracy into a two click affair. If you want to go oldskool, you have to hit IRC for a friendly group, or trudge through shit on newsgroups.

>>61865578
You're implying torrenting is only used for piracy anon, it's not.

It's never going to get banned because it's a P2P protocol that exists between two computers, there's no middle-man to stop it.

It's like saying FTP is going to get outlawed because people download things illegally using it.

>>61863861
how do you organize that with covers and all, it looks amazing

>>61866729
I wasn't implying that the only use for BitTorrent is piracy, I was implying that the perception by people outside of the /g/ world think it's only is is piracy.

Sure it will never be stopped. But access to it can be limited by going after trackers and even client software.

Is is so hard to imagine a world where a torrent client must verify that a magnet link or .torrent does not allow the user to download copyright information by checking the downloaded files or filenames against a mpaa database? It might not catch every infringing user but it would make every aspect of torrenting more difficult for the user.

This is what content creators and lawmakers want and they're trying to make it happen.

>>61866729
>You're implying torrenting is only used for piracy anon, it's not.
Most of it is, nobody cares about neckbeards and their GNU/Linux distros.

Also when we ban non-commercial encryption next year, free and libre software will have to be illegal anyway to enfore the ban.

>>61866331
Can't you trim the filesize down? As in look within the directories and find redundant code that can be trimmed down/remove unnecessary files?

>>61866979
You're actually delusional if you think every bittorrent client is going to get strongarmed by your gooberment.

Spoiler alert: we don't all live in america. We don't abide by your laws.

I know you are baiting replies but at least try to make an effort. It's no fun when you make it this easy.

>>61864923
>can't imagine doing anything with his monies except buy 'entertainment'

How about doing or creating anything whatsoever, or just kys i guess.

>>61867148

Nah, it's mostly video files. I guess I could trim some videos, but then i'd be a bad hoarder.

>>61863695
Now, if hoarders can unite and put all of that content on GNUNet, it might all be ok.

>>61867627
You could try shortening the filenames of the videos, by removing spaces and such, this wouldn't disturb the content of the videos, merely the filenames.
example:
Video name: Citizen Kane
Right click
Hit "Rename"
Rename file from "Citizen Kane" to "CitizenKane"
Repeat

>>61866250
>most torrentors don't know what a vpn is
Sure I guess in places that torrenting isn't regulated they don't use vpns for it but they are commonplace nowadays.

>>61866979
Why wouldn't I just use an open source torrent client that doesn't phone home to the mpaa? I mean, I already do, so what would change?

>>61865014
Hah! Ditto and same results. just migrated from 8x3tb drives to 6x10tb(both raid 6) So far, so good

>>61863695
If I just dump all my data into an 8TB drive and store the drive in cold storage, how long will the data retain its integrity before it starts throwing errors when I read it back down the line?

>>61864131
It's because 10TB drives use helium, assuming you're talking about WD Gold, Seagate IronWolf, HGST He10 etc.

>>61867774
Why would it give you errors? That only happens with SSDs because they lose data if they're not powered on.

>>61867825
I'm not that well versed with storage tech, thanks.

>>61867847
Just make sure you wrap the HDD in anti-static bags or in a case with foam and make sure dust can't get into the case. See if you a nearby store has IB-AC628, that's what I'm using to store my drives in cold storage.

>>61866074

>implying the creation of something is not 'entertainment'

>>61867803
the 8TB drives use helium too
at least the Reds from WD

>>61866331
Monitor temperature and set up a PC fan next to the case to pull out the hot air through the vents. Even a small amount of airflow is pretty much a miracle compared to purely passive heat dissipation. That should work fine since HDDs don't get THAT hot and don't use THAT much power.

>>61865764
Deep packet inspection only works if you have the private keys to decrypt the traffic. It works in an enterprise because you can force a machine to accept the certificate. Not so much for consumers with ISPs.

>>61869366
yeah but they're slower (5200rpm)

>>61869469
>That should work fine since HDDs don't get THAT hot

they do

>>61866331
take it out of the enclosure and put a fan next to it

>>61869511
>they do
No they don't, definitely not with a bit of airflow and definitely not the 5400RPM shit you probably get in external enclosures.

>>61863776
In Europe the best price/TB I could get was on 8TB drives, like 2 months ago, so yeah, they're worth it.

Just recently built a FreeNAS box to store my hoarding. Most of this is complete dumps of entire consoles libraries. My goal is to have just about e every game from Xbox 1 back, which I just about achieved. Just started adding PS3 rips to my collection since PS3 emulation has really advanced in the past year. Also got a few anime rips in here but nothing too major. I run a Ubuntu VM on my box so I can download and torrent right to the FreeNAS box, shit is fairly slick and works well.

Right, 128 GB USB sticks that are as big as just the USB contact are a normal thing now. 2 TB USB sticks exist, and the capacity of flash drives doubles every 12-18 months. SSD tech has caught up to hard drives and is zooming past them.

In just over decade, Petabyte-sized USB sticks will probably be a thing. Storing all your stuff will be so much easier.

Hoard the stuff you want now, protect it along with your other data but you don't gotta go all extreme with it. Long as you start with a solid base (server is crash free stable,good drives in raid, attached to UPS) and have a good backup system in place (keep backup device powered off when not in use) you will be fine for 99% of shit that causes your data to get lost/fucked up. Remain 1% is for shit you don't got any control over (Acts of god, Dude breaks into your house/apt/condo,GF/Wife leaves you and takes your shit to). I only got little over 8tb of data, it's a mix, some of it is torrent shows/films,some of it is a rip of physical media that I own,some is music,photos,porn,e-books, and just random documents. I don't want to lose any of it cause for one some of it can't be replaced and two it'd be a very time consuming process to recreate it all.

>>61870024
That's true but the price for such flash drives is a lot and not worth it. Flash drives also lose data if it's not powered on.

>>61870042
The price of the sticks stays roughly constant as time passes, but the capacity increases. Soon they'll have so much capacity that a dirt cheap stick should fit pretty much everything you need.

That is, unless something crazy like voxel-based movies happens.

Failure rates are only worth considering if you spin up the drive a lot or leave it spinning for long periods of time. With data hoarding, you're basically filling up the drive and then spinning it up every once in a while. This also means that read/write speads are largely irrelevant as long as your read speeds are greater than the bitrate of the video.

No matter how slow progress might feel on the scale of a single year or too, over the time scale of decades the speed of progress is mind-boggling. The SSD's that we'll have by the end of the next decade will have crazy huge storage capacities.

ISPs can already throttle/bock torrent traffic legally. Net neutrality means they can do the same for actual paid traffic.

Which is why you should make you're HDD never spin down when you're PC is in use

>Never underestimate the power of exponential growth.
Never count on it, either. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Hope for the best; prepare for the worst.

Realistically, how long do we have until Soulseek goes under, and is there any backup already available?

Are you guys confusing 2002 with 1992?

I hoard all my porn on floppy disks.

>>61872832
no, I meant 1.2 gb hdd. i was running a warez version of xp, and it was an IBM Aptiva Pentium3 333mhz i lifted from a county offices supply room that was going to be recycled. the hdd i had was making noises like a dryer full of wrenches, and was critical failure alerts and had locked up. I had 3, 1.3 hdds fail in it from the power supply.

>>61863695
I only torrent animu and mango and the TPP is dead. I have nothing to worry about.

I honestly wish I knew what to hoard anon.

I seriously hope none of you are hoarding more than 2TBs of data on windows.

Right?

>>61876249
Things which you would no longer be able to get if whatever streaming service you're using to get them goes to shit, disappears or decides to assrape you, the customer, in such a heinous manner that you simply cannot stomach giving them your money anymore.

10.3 TB of movies

13.9 TB of TV

250GB of music

30tb array almost full looking to pick up another 14 3tb hard drives

my media machine is an airgapped un updated win7 daz loaader 2009 image with about 2tb of irreplaceable 24/194 vinyl rips flac and DSD

how does that make you feel >

That's more for the human than the computer. Makes it more readable. At least it does for me.

Security is not the main issue.
Checksums are.
NTFS has a SPoF in the form of an MTF and does not checksum data. Your shit's rotting.

>>61876819

its mirrored offline but that is getting tedious

what file system do recommend ? i have a win only firewire soundcard

win cant into zfs and btrfs right ?

I also have 2 1TB drives that I replaced sitting in my closet. They both work fine, but were simply replaced by SSDs. Not sure if I want to use them for anything or just keep going SSD.

>>61876962
It can do neither.
ZFS was ported to mac os because it resembled unix enough to cram it in there but many people have said windows is out of the question time and again. I switched primarily for the filesystem.
Two dangers of data back when I used windows was the fact that windows actively deletes files while cut+ paste so if you lose power or JUST CANCEL the transfer you're fucked. It is also very easy to push stale backups, as in: The file is corrupt and you just overwrote your backup with bad data, again, you're fucked.
Lost damn near 200GB of data to that one. Rar file compression is nice but when you damage them it's impossible to retrieve anything, switched to tar.X for compression to make life easier in case anything does break.

ZFS on linux is under active development and they just released a new stable version 0.7.0-1.
Had some bad run ins with btrfs so I'm not a fan but feel free to experiment.

>>61863695
i say fuck it, if I can't pirate any more maybe I'll get so bored I'll be forced to go out into the real world and get a girlfriend.

>>61876819
Checksums only tell you your data is fucked and you don't need to do it at the file system level.

>>61876962
You don't need fancy file systems to protect against bit rot. Just create a recovery record with something like pararchive or even winrar.

I've been removing some videos but the music keeps going up. Even went and converted all the FLAC to V0. Anime will always be there until both AB and nyaa die for good, but music is usually a bit harder to find.

Checksums are not error correcting codes.

>>61877617
Are you retarded?
Checksums are paired with redundancy or parity to rebuild bad data on the fly.

This is why block level checksums are necessary.

Private trackers keep getting shut down. New ones that pop up get smaller and smaller collections.

A lot of files will be lost forever. Luckily, storage space keeps getting cheaper, so a lot of archived content ends up getting saved easily, such as almost every game in existence.

The golden age of torrenting is coming to an end. There's already a ton of content on youtube, amazon and netflix, and used blurays and DVDs are dirt cheap on ebay.

There will still always be the latest Game of Thrones, or PC game, available. But try finding an obscure Wii or PS2 game, or even some random TV show that broadcast a long time ago. Most of the huge collections are dying out and take up terabytes of data. VPS, or seed boxes aren't getting cheaper, especially overseas (in fact, I've noticed they've increased in price!).

Yeah. Save your things. Back everything up. OP is giving good advice.

you neglect to mention this only applies to (((western))) media. isp's don't and will never give a shit if you download chink shit
