I’ve been looking to buy a couple 24TB drives. Hopefully, this pushes their price down.
Peertube instance owners rejoice!
Or just people who download porn.
That's... a lot of porn.
Who doesn't have multiple TB of videos just laying around?
*Raises hand confidently
I wish there were TBs of porn of what I was into.
If porn was just created on demand instead of filling millions of hdd's, would anyone notice or care? Finally a use for generative AI.

I prefer 1980s porn jpgs around 90kB each thankyouverymuch.
It's crazy sizes though uf you think about it, I have like 2 or 4 TB drives and they are far from full.
When will it be commercially available though? Supposedly Seagate has had 30TB drives out for the better part of a year, but I can't find anything larger than 24TB actually available for purchase.
I've been waiting for a 32TB to become available as well, Seagate announced that drive last year and it's still not available outside data centers. I suspect the WD one will be the same.
I'd guess that they're commercially available but only for hyperscalers - large companies like Google, Amazon (AWS), etc that need a huge amount of storage.
Obligatory hint that SMR isn't suited for RAID systems.
A better way to word it is: SMR is only suited for archival usage. Large writes, little-to-no random writes.
I wonder how the read performance would be.
If you know the format of SMR, then you can trivially see the read performance is not impacted. Writing is impacted, because it has to write multiple times for each sector write (because of overlapping sectors that allow the extra density).
Impacted write performance, coupled with hdds are generally slow with random writes PLUS the extra potential for data loss due to less-atomic sector writes, makes them terrible drives for everything except archival usage.
Tape on a platter, basically.
Wonder what happens if you throw them in an unraid BTRFS/jbod configuration with a CMR parity drive.
Slowdown and data corruption?
If you eyeballing these, please remind that these babies tend to be LOUD AS FUCK, so might not be suitable for home server use.
Are they any louder than any HDD from the last 30 years?
If so, im actually curious why that is
Edit: fixed to say HDD not SSD
Well I have no experience with these particular drives, but they do seem to have 11 platters. Which is beyond insane as far as I'm concerned. More platters means more moving parts, more friction more noise (all other things being equal).
Oops, yes. I definitely would expect these to be much louder than your 6 GB 1998 model HDD wrangling under stress of copying files at 30 MB/s.
Tell that to my IBM 10GB 10.000 RPM U2W SCSI from back then. To this day I have never witnessed a noisier harddrive... But that PC was pretty epic, including the biggest mf of a mainboard I ever had (the SCSI controller was onboard).
Ah, the sound of turning on the SCSI storage tower.
KA-TSCHONK. WeeeeeeeeEEEEEIIIIIII... skrrrt, skrrrt, clack.
Either that or KA-TSCHONK, silence, if there were already too many boxes on that circuit at a lan party 😁

Just don't put it in your bedroom. All those dead skin cells wouldn't do good to it anyway.
Since when is dust a concern for hard drives??
I was talking about the server in general

My 6TB drive just died. So I'm in the market for a new one.
sorry but these aren't 6TB
Mebbe the 26 one is just 3-4 smaller drives inside it?
