    Keep in mind data recovery vs drive size. Getting past ~16TB drives, it starts to become a question of whether the rest would be able to survive a restore of a failed drive if any are going to have remotely similar endurance. Obviously, the answer is going to be “yes” most of the time, but at a certain point, there are deminishing returns on the cost of the drives to where even a one to one price increase in the HDD per size might not be worth it all the same.

    Kinda’ a moot point if you’re not going to raid them in any way for reliability, but worth a thought.

    I’ve described this terribly, but Level1tech on YT talks about it sometimes in reviews.

          There’s nothing wrong with it at all. That’s why I gave them props for still giving all necessary info because search engines are a shitshow for things now. They just seemed like they were mentally drained but still trying to help I thought that was cool. Also possibly/probably projection on my part.

          I was mainly basing it off of the quick rundown no unnecessary info and them saying that they described it terribly. I was just relating to it yesterday after I got off work and was drained.

            Hopefully you’re filled now, I am! As a fellow developer, I totally got your comment.

              I am once again full, friend! I’ll never think about ‘feeling drained’ the same again 😅
