This new 40TB hard drive from Seagate is just the beginning—50TB is coming fast!

Jump

  • Not a 10TB one yet, thankfully, but did a 4TB in my old NAS recently after it started giving warnings. It was a few days iirc. Not ideal but better than the thousands of dollars it would cost to go to RAID1. I’d love RAID1, but until we get 50TB consumer drives for < $1k it’s not happening.

  • When setting up RAID1 instead of RAID5 means an extra few thousand dollars of cost, RAID5 is fine thank you very much. Also SSDs in the size many people need are not cheap, and not even a thing at a consumer level.

    5x10TB WD Reds here. SSD isn’t an option, neither is RAID1. My ISP is going to hate me for the next few months after I set up backblaze haha

    • Sound Off: How many 10+ year redditors have left the site?

  • Raises hand. ~13 year old account, just deleted it and basically haven’t gone back and don’t intend to.

    • Don't federated instances just exacerbate already existing problems with places like Reddit, Tumblr, and Twitter? Specifically admin/mod abuse, excessive reposting/cross-posting, server lag/issues?

  • Not really. We need the content that comes from having a big community.

  • Yeh Lemmy is unfortunately going to have a very hard time growing to be even 10% the size of reddit. The whole decentralized thing is good in theory, but not great in reality. As you said, now entire communities can be deleted at any time, and as it gets more popular it will cost more people more money and with no way to make money to cover ever increasing server cots other than donations. Also there's not going to be any guaranteed performance level across instances because they're not all hosted on the same hardware in the same locations.

    I want reddit to crash and burn at this stage, but unfortunately I can't see it happening. Lemmy will crash and burn if it were to actually become a reddit competitor. I've already seen people asking for registrations to be turned off because most servers can't even handle the minimal number of users they now have! That's not how you grow a website/community lol.

    Also as you mentioned, mods is a big worry. Mods are the main problem with reddit IMO, along with the admins. They push their ideologies, they shadow delete and ban people that they don't like/agree with, and they just wield the banhammer without warning and without consequence. Are the mods here going to be the same? Many of them will literally be the same people that were mods on reddit, so that's not a good start.

  • There’s no review of the phone, title is misleading.
