People will be like: Man I got a new 4TB drive! It’s so big!
And you just sit there in silence because you decommissioned your 4TB drives years ago because they are just too small to be viable and “all that storage space” might be what you fill in a month.
It’s honestly mindblowing for some haha
Hell, some less technical folks have never even heard of a petabyte, you usually don’t run into those numbers unless you manage massive clusters or are on this sub
That sudden shock i had when i bought a nas and then realised i needed loads of hdds to fit all my stuff on and then needed to buy a ups and wanted caches for it, etc, etc
This comment concerns me. I might need to buy more discs just to qualify this statement. Is 136TB considered “significant fraction”, or do I need more?
Jesus christ, what the hell do you store?
Local storage has many advantages ofc, but why not VPN into your home network and stream your media instead? Do your travels usually involve unreliable internet connectivity?
1080p tv shows can get pretty big, too.
Depends on the quality of the files you’re downloading. 1080p Remuxes can easily be 30-50GB. My 4K libraries are ~20TB, the non 4K is ~340TB.
I also have a 1080p library and I’m bumping up against my 32TB limit.
Video Games are not small these days.
I do not have any 4k content. So… the other thing.
