Can't wait to buy some god damn HDDs for my NAS when this is all over. Let the prices crash baby.

Will be interesting to see what the community does to the over-abundant vector matrizes calculators. Probably run DOOM on.

I bought RAM just in the cusp of the jump. September I put it in the cart waiting for Black Friday and October came by and it was up 50% and I jumped on.

But I’m deleting stuff on my NAS. I neeeed some big drives.

I finally bit the bullet months ago and invested into LTO8 for my cold storage, I still need to buy drives at some point, but at least I've got a decent path to put shit in the mean time so I don't gotta delete anything lolol

What did that set you back for how much storage?

[-] cm0002@lemy.lol 5 points 15 hours ago

Hmm iirc the physical setup (tape drive, auto loader, HBA card for my server) set me back ~2.5k (with the bulk of that being the drive itself) and then the actual tapes was prob another ~1k for 200TBs raw, but more like 100TB actual usable since I use another tape for a backup off-site copy

Not enough if high resolution and VR content.

That plus WAV or FLAC files, blue ray content, etc.

I had a Beelink Me Mini and a half dozen NVMEs in my cart around that time, but didn't pull the trigger when the price started rising and now I'm kicking myself for it.

Yeah ... until drives become cheap again, my solution is just to go through and see what data I can afford to live without, then delete it to free up more space.

2 of the 6 drives in one of my pools is 7.5 years old. I found that out last week and had to bite the bullet to buy a spare and swap it in. Doing a resilver with those makes me cringe
