“For personal users, this SSD can store 11,000 90-minute 4K movies,”

This is less useful than libraries of congress.

I disagree. I very much want something like this at some point for media storage. One of these babies could replace all of my spinning disk drives.

Make sure you make backups - it’s better to have multiple small drives in case of failure than one big, but in any case 3-2-1 backups!

I only 3-2-1 my photos and configs. No need to back up my Linux isos

Then I guess I disagree for a different reason—the ballpark estimate definitely helped me conceptualize how far that storage would go for me.

It doesn't say the bitrate of said movies so it is indeed useless

It’s a ballpark average. The point is that it translates to “a holy shit ton of movies”. I need to store a holy shit ton of movies.

Honestly, that size of drive doesn't need a comparison. This isn't for your average user, so you don't need to dumb it down for them.

Buy a dozen and you could fit a good chunk of LibGen.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 3 months ago

Yeah really. It's been years since I saw a 90m movie.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago

Almost two years of non stop video.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Yeah but are there any good ones?
