Get a 1440p 144hz monitor for now, 4k isn't really good for vidya yet. Even with a 7700k+1080ti you're not going to get great frame rates or minimums. In five years, high refresh rate 4k monitors with the latest display technologies and the respective adaptive sync tech you need will be MUCH cheaper and will be future proof as fuck. Once hardware starts pushing 4k, only enthusiast retards will ever justify trying to move to 5k or 8k or something.

Just do raid1 and replace individual drives when they fail.

You don't have to buy something that lasts forever, you just need redundancy.

Thank god, I was genuinely worried, when I was first getting into PCs I got gifted an older laptop that has a dual 1TB HDD setup in RAID 0, got confused when the screen froze on Windows telling me a RAID error occurred.

>>386172871
Well yeah, but the gap between video cards being able to push 144hz 4k and 144hz 8k is going to be huge. Once we get the GTX 1480 Ti or whatever, maybe high refresh rate 4k will be possible but it'll be a LONG time after that before 8k gaming becomes plausible. Just wait to get a 4k monitor when you want one that'll last you the next decade. 1440p 144hz is playable now, and will be for the next four years at least. No point investing in a monitor when there's no benefit to doing so right now if you're getting an inferior and more expensive product compared to what you could've gotten if you had just waited for such monitors to actually be useful for games.

But if you're a movie/email/work normies, 4k monitors makes sense. They're just useless for games.

RAID1 is mirroring. In a RAID1 pair, both drives will appear as a single disk to the PC, and anything you write to 'it' is written identically to both discs. So if one fails, you still have an exact copy. Just remember to replace the failed disk so the data can be copied back to that before the only remaining drive fails as well.

>>386173934

Raid 1 mirrors your data on multiple drives.

So, if you have two 1tb drives, you set them up in raid1, and you have a 1tb volume with redundant back up. So even if one disk fails, no data is lost.

And it's pretty damn rare that both disks in a raid array will fail at the same time, so for home usage it's about as much redundancy as you'll need.

>>386174313

Yes that is possible, but your raid array will only perform as fast as the slowest drive in the array.

So, not a great idea.

I honestly don't know if there are any special precautions or steps for ensuring you don't place unnecessary wear on your SSD if you mirror it with a HDD.

But the internet as we know it is changing

>>386174751

You would end up with HDD writing/reading speed drive, essentially wasting SSD potential. What would be better idea is to make "hybrid" drive out of such pair.

And? Always has been always will be, and people will always want free shit.

>>386174751
RAID1 performance / capacity will always be the lowest common denominator. Both discs need to hold identical of data, so the volume they make will only be as big as the smallest of the two drives. Likewise with performance, it's no good being able to write three times as much data to one of the drives over the other for example, as during writes the slower drive would lag behind and they wouldn't be identical until the slower finished writing.

>>386171085

Or just get yourself a pair of matching decent 1TB HDDs. They would run as fast as your SSD / HDD frankenarray would anyway, and give you 4 times the storage which your suggestion would provide.

Why lately games uses absurd ammount of space?

Back then, 1gb was large, 10gb was huge. Nowdays games sizes starts around 50gb and can go up to 120gb. Why?

>>386175374
So, what are you into to have that much shit saved?

>>386175627
not to mention if you are running scheduled sync jobs say every 12 hours for example, you could potentially lose up to 12 hours of stuff. With a RAID1 pair, you would lose only whatever hadn't finished writing to disk at the very moment something failed.

>>386175967
Uncompressed audio, the whole range of European localization and on-disk/pre-downloaded DLC, 4000x4000 textures, code bloat, pre-rendered movies for console ports (See: Vanquish, which was 2.5GB of game and 15GB of movie)

>>386175967
>Nowdays games sizes starts around 50gb and can go up to 120gb. Why?
That's not considered acceptable though, devs that do that receive complaints. Games like Fallout 4 and Doom's file sizes are pushing the boundaries of what people consider acceptable, most games aren't like that.

>>386174827
Any entry level NAS off the shelf will allow you to do so easily. If you buy the NAS with the disks in a bundle, some come preconfigured with the RAID level of your choice.

Oh yes, I remember something similar with Valkyria Chronicles, also had 15gb+ movies.

Didn't someone ask that when 1mb became standard, then a few years later when diskettes became widespread. And I'm pretty sure it was said about cd roms and then later dvds. etc.

In a decade or so some aaa games will probably reach 1tb. In that time 4k movies will be the standard format people watch movies in. 16k movies will probably be available.

I remember the average game back in 2007 was around 2-3gb. Today I've got several 10+gb games.

Early adopters drive the market.

Not yet but they're supposed to be coming out this year. They generally look like very nice monitors, 4K IPS, 144Hz, FALD, HDR, GSync.

There's a caveat though, DP1.4 compression is supposedly NOT supported, which means there isn't sufficient bandwidth for 4:4:4/RGB color at 144Hz, so you're either going to run at lower refresh rate to get full color representation or you're going to get 144 with shittier image quality. 4:2:2 already looks like crap for fine detail like small text on a computer screen.

I don't remember what refresh rate was theoretically possible with full color representation in 10b and in 8b, you can do the math. IIRC around 90-100Hz, so you'd still get a pretty decent boost over regular 60Hz. Truth be told you won't be running much at 4K 144Hz anyway.

Everything from Suzuki Seijun, criterion have done some good blu-ray releases of some of his best work. I'd recommend tokyo drifter or youth of the beast as good first films to watch from him. His films really benefit from the blu-ray releases since they're all visually stunning. There's plenty of other stuff I could recc but i'm not sure what would be to your taste, my first screenshot was from Boiling Point which is an early Takeshi Kitano film that starts a little slow but really picks up once the man himself is on screen. Most of his stuff is great, especially if it features yakuza/cops.

Unless you can understand japanese there's no alternative, I don't think any of these films were dubbed and even if they were I would assume the dubs are not particularly good quality.

I could use 5TB of storage, I have to spend my money on other things though. My entire steam Library(Vanilla) would be around 2TB, then add around 500gb of mods for games, then around 1TB of non-steam games, backups of everything, and a shit ton of movies, images, & porn, & a bit of free space to boot.

Supposedly your UPS protects the NAS/server. If it still gets fucked, you replace the faulty hardware and restore from your offline backups.
