go with a cheap Supermicro JBOD

I have a NAS that I got for free and stuffed full of 2tb drives. Only 7tb usable after RAID6. My problem is the NAS is EOL/EOS and uses a proprietary FS called BTFS... So if this fails I'm going to have a hard time moving the drives over to a different enclosure.

I'm too cheap to buy a new one at the moment.

supermicro is good stuff but it only surpasses dell in the fact that its interoperable with regular pc components. if you dont need that dell is a better choice in my opinion. dont ever go for other brands, you will regret it. also be really really careful with supermicro backplanes, the older models do not support 6gbps drive speed and will clock at 1.5 or 3, while thats not normal for that generation of server hardware.

WD (Western Digital) My Book drive comes from the factory partitioned exFAT format, making it compatible with PC MAC and other platforms
If you are only using the drive on a PC and don't ever intend to plug it into a Mac or xbox

do yourself a favor
reformatting erases data, so do this on new drives or backup the data from the drive before reformatting.

Partition the drive and choose NTFS format

exFAT and NTFS are both file systems used by Windows, but they have different strengths and weaknesses. exFAT is designed for portability and compatibility across different operating systems, while NTFS is a more feature-rich file system optimized for Windows. If you need a file system for external drives that will be used on multiple devices, exFAT is a good choice. If you're primarily using the drive with Windows, NTFS is a better option.

If OP's drives are exFAT
Its likely that everything he has stored on 4 of those drives would fit on one of those drives formatted NTFS.

data can take up more space on an exFAT formatted drive compared to other file systems like NTFS or APFS, especially with many small files. This is primarily due to the way exFAT allocates storage space using larger cluster sizes.

exFAT uses larger cluster sizes (the minimum amount of disk space a file occupies) than other file systems like NTFS. For example, on large disks, exFAT defaults to 128KB clusters, while NTFS might use 4KB clusters.

If a file's size isn't an exact multiple of the cluster size, the remaining space within the last cluster is wasted, a phenomenon called internal fragmentation. This is more noticeable with many small files, as each file will occupy at least one full cluster, regardless of its actual size.

Example:
If you have a 1KB file on an exFAT drive with a 128KB cluster size, it will still take up 128KB of space on the disk. If you have many such small files, this wasted space can add up significantly.

>>510271432

I don’t mind paying $6 per month to support the developers. It’s a good product.

I mainly run the Plex server for my friends and family. Wholesome programming for the kids without jew mind virus commercials.

>>510268844
>>510268611
Get yourselves a dell tower server with the 8x 3.5 bays, flash the perc card to the LSI firmware for direct passthrough and install proxmox. You can also just buy the perc card, and some 4x Sata to SAS connectors and use your own pc parts too... (dell server is nice b/c its plug-and-play)

THEN go buy a few 10TB HGST drives for cheap cheap cheap on ebay, and you'll have 40-80TB depending on how many you buy and your zfs raid type

Then load that shit with whatever you want. I have a lot of stuff, I can even play cyberpunk 2077 over the network (entire installed game is located on the server, and I can load and play it with almost no issues on my desktop over gigabit LAN)

fyi mega.nz has 20tb of cloud storage for 25 bucks a month. it will break if you upload too many files though, but you can easily stack 7z/rar archives there.

>>510272073

waste of space if you have a rack. 4u is only reserved for something that has +24 disks, 4 cpus or 8 gpus.

yeah IF you have a rack. But no rack required and you can typically pickup older models (ie T320s) for cheap. They come with 8 bays and minimal fuckery to get setup.

>>510271792
Those drives need shucked and put in a server so the interface is SATA/SAS not USB.

Your point about exFAT is true, but most people won’t notice the difference since most files are large media these days. It’s easy enough to just zip the small files to save space.

But drives are so cheap now, no one really worries about compression or block size.

this is fucking disgusting just build a home server with raid or backup discs using unraid

personally i have been having this discussion with a couple media buddies who are decluttering

i love thrifting blurays, dvds and books personally it’s a relaxing fun thing to do but it begins to eat a lot of space which is a premium for the majority of us. i think the best protocol is home server with raid. binders with disc sleeves for physical backups. books get my space priority now.

>>510272815
i dont have to know about it because i encrypt my archives.

>>510272016
Tapes are magnetic, so lifespan limited. They’ll need re-recorded every decade or so. Not worth the cost unless you’re doing enterprise quantity of data.

Use mdisk dvd’s for high value data (personal stuff) and spinning disk for low value stuff like movie torrents. If you lose a torrent drive, the data can be downloaded again.

For the important stuff use the 3-2-1 rule.
3 copies. 2 onsite. 1 offsite.

Towers are quieter if you need it in your office. Only buy racks if you have a place to stash it where the noise won’t bother you.

I love saving and never deleting things.
Current 2TB drive has my budding tokusatsu collection and assortment of movies I've torrented over the years.
Isos and their emus take up a heft portion as well.
And porn. Ive been saving porn since like 2012 with the fear some of my favorite videos to jork it too would vanish. Now that some states require an Id to watch porn, I laugh at anyone who ever didn't save an mp4 of their favorite titties.

>>510272109
>gigabit LAN
If you're going that far you might as well invest in some 10G SFP+ NICs and either DAC or AOC cables depending how far away your server is.

USB 3.0 is fast enough for archival purposes
but a USB hub is going to slow down transfer.

>>510273433
self explanatory. also poweredge 2u models dont make that much noise.

I got extremely lucky with some enterprise dell rackmount servers packed with ~100tb in hdds each for almost nothing. I have only used up about 16TB of actual good data in flac music/games/4k kinos. I have a substantial ebook and audiobook collection which I think are going to be the most treasured when the grid goes down. 1TB microSD card and an andriod tablet is also my angle. Its hard to find good data, most faggots just have TBs of kike media (porn and ZOGslop movies)

>>510273784
> an "actual senior infosec pro" would recommend jellyfin
Actual senior infosec pro’s know that security resources are limited and you put the resource where it does the most good.

Security resource allocation is based on data sensitivity type. Publicly available media files on a media server are ultra low risk. There are many more important things to worry about than a plex server.

>>510268844
I've started using stablebit drivepool and snapraid. It seems OK for files that rarely change, like media. If a drive fails, snapraid should sort it. In the event of multiple drive failures beyond snapraid's capability to restore, files on any remaining good drives are still accessible, as the drives use NTFS.

I grew up in middle-of-nowhere woods, didn't get online until 99, at single kb/s speeds. Ever since 2003 I've had a several mb/s connection, and I've gathered data ever since.

Movies, music, anime, games, art, books, education material, STLs, and endless porn. I've gotten into archiving entire youtube channels, seeing how many have gone offline or have been cut and censored over time.

In general I'd say its a toss up between the cost savings of piracy and the high-ideal goal of archival record keeping like Trazen the Infinite.

2x 12tb drives, with two separate off site backups.

>>510273849
Ebooks are key. I think I’ve got close to a million from all the book archives I’ve saved over the years.

Make sure you have the /k/ archives.

>>510274381

I'm borderline Gen X. I hoarded terabytes of media throughout the 2000s. Including webpages. This was actually normal behaviour because of the nature of the internet at the time.
