† SakuraChan Posted March 26, 2017 Report Share Posted March 26, 2017 get yourself a NAS or get an old used server slap in the closet and load with drives as most eexternal drives have weird SATA to USB cards in them that tend to die off soon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only reason it's hanging on now is due to people worried about the size of 1080p; which could be cut down if people opted to utilize lossy audio instead if they were concerned about size over quality. I don't need an overpriced monitor/TV to watch 1080p/720p. I can see the quality to 1080p but, it isn't worth twice the size. Besides, lately anything I watch that is archived, I watch on my 15.6", 1366x768 laptop screen during my lunch breaks at work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waste of a server but, still possible) hard drives connected to a network. With the proper permissions, anyone on the network can access the computer with many hard drives as if it were an external hard drive. ...well, technically, that would be an external hard drive. I guess I mean to say as if it was an external hard drive connected via USB. Edited March 27, 2017 by NeutralHatred 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raineexodus Posted March 28, 2017 Report Share Posted March 28, 2017 I have a NAS setup myself, four 3TB drives in raid. it's getting close to capacity though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanis Posted March 28, 2017 Report Share Posted March 28, 2017 I really want to build myself some kind of server with a raid. I've got something like 12-15 HDDs of various sizes. Sure, they're, mostly, organized (Anime-SUB, HDTV, Manga, Comics, Music, Etc). But it's still kind of annoying dealing with anything from USB2.0 to USB3.0+External Power Source. :| Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you 1) don't care about redundancy and 2) don't care about point 1, you could use as many as you can of the biggest of those drives and set up a spanned volume (Linux or Windows) and get "one" storage drive with a (I'm assuming) very large capacity. This was the setup I had for MoodyBot (1x 2TB, 2x 1TB and 1x 500GB all joined to form one volume in a software raid) which worked fine with understandable risk. I now have 2x 4TB drives in it seen as they were cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, yeah, vs 3.0? Nope the fuck out of buying ANY 2.0...unless I HAVE to.

Get a solid raid set-up, with redundancy, so I don't have to look for 10+TB of data again. Just gotta be proactive and read more on it. I've built custom gaming PCs before, but never have I done any kind of server so it's a bit new to me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
