spheris Posted March 1, 2015 Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 (edited) 1TB fusion drive with 930 open, 2TB WD Raid with 200GB open and shrinking as I shrink down both video and sample libraries. It's kind of strange, I seem to spend a lot of time lately stripping down to dubs with signs and reformatted to use with standard players (never been a fan of mkv as a format and it's never made any sense to use a non standard format that needs a special player - at least for myself) Edited March 2, 2015 by spheris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beave Posted September 19, 2015 Report Share Posted September 19, 2015 It never ceases to amaze me how many people run JBOD with no backup and/or redundancy. I have all my personal data (pictures, documents and music backup locally and on DropBox as well. As for the Anime almost 2TB of it is online so far.

If you use WD instead of Seagate you wouldn't have to worry so much. =) The only drives I've ever had completely fail (unbootable) were Seagate and I've been using PCs since 1998. Anyhow I would like to start using raids, but the issue is the cashflow man. I'd like to get two or three of those boxes that hold 4-5 hard drives and run them in raids, but I need money I don't have. In this picture: G, H, I, J, and M are externals. C is an SSD; while E and F are internal WD Blues iirc. The only non-WD drive there is the SSD which if iirc is an ADATA. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnFlower Posted September 20, 2015 Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 (edited) Uh, I wouldn't buy multiple NAS's... One chassis with as many hard drive bays as possible is good enough. Then just start building up your hard drives and adding them to your array.It's how I do it, except I've a) stopped caring about archiving every release of every show and trying to save money to buy a new workstation. The whole WD vs Seagate thing is overhyped. I used to care about that sort of shit, but what it really comes down to is your experience with each brand. I've had one Seagate external hard drive that I bought 3 years ago and it's still going, but I've also had many more WD internal/external hard drives with only one failure. Take from that what you will, then read this: https://www.backblaze.com/blog/hard-drive-reliability-stats-for-q2-2015/ Edited September 20, 2015 by JohnFlower Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koby Posted September 20, 2015 Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 The whole WD vs Seagate thing is overhyped. Take from that what you will, then read this: https://www.backblaze.com/blog/hard-drive-reliability-stats-for-q2-2015/ But this chart isn't exactly unbiased; considering they apparently tested only 45 WD drives compared to almost 18k Seagate drives. Any test that doesn't do so with a large identical number of the brands isn't going to be something that can be fully trusted to be an accurate representation. However to say 40% of 18k drives failed is still a pretty big statement. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnFlower Posted September 20, 2015 Report Share Posted September 20, 2015 Go back and read September 2014's reliability update if you want statistics with more drives. The results are very similar as one would expect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnFlower Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 Not entirely. They had different sized drives in 2014 so that graph doesn't represent as much as you think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
