    Nowdays, game updates for things like CyberPunk are 70 GBs and change next to nothing but a menu option

    Alright, hear me out. Cheapest 4 drive NAS you can find and just buy one 5TB drive each month

  • Pseudonymous @ Pseudonymous:
    I hold an immense amount of respect for old game devs that had to frantically reduce file sizes and optimize their code so that the systems of the time wouldn't just straight up shit the bed

    and once again blu-rays are written off due to a high level of impracticality ;_;

    what if you used a bunch of blu-rays and wrote your data to them?

    I got a kind of impractical idea that could be cheaper ...maybe

    So even if I hook up some drives to a raspi, I'm already around a thousand and a quarter dollars in the whole lol

    If you want 10TB of storage that's basically just a cost of hard drives. Cheapest I could find were around 250 usd each, so that's bare minimum

    Arduinos are really only good for hobby projects from my experience

  • yot @ yot:
    I wonder if you could use a microcontroller (an arduino or something more powerful like some atmega chips) instead of a pi

  • Pseudonymous @ Pseudonymous:
    The cost of my server will increase if I want to do stripping and not just YOLO it and go raid zero if I intend to keep my capacity

    Dang o:

  • REDACTED @ REDACTED:
    For a past year, yeah
    Quote Link
  • Pseudonymous @ Pseudonymous:
    Wait, is there a RasPi shortage going on?
    Quote Link
  • REDACTED @ REDACTED:
    I'd say you could build NAS out of Raspi 4 B and 2x 10TB drives in raid for less than a 1k usd IF you could get Raspi anywhere nowadays
    Quote Link
  • Pseudonymous @ Pseudonymous:
    What's funny is that I thought that the storage itself would have been the most expensive part of a build, but a WD Blue hard drive is only 37 or so dollars
    Quote Link
  • Pseudonymous @ Pseudonymous:
    Oh, no not 10 terabyte bandwith, just capacity lol. Should have specified better
    Quote Link
  • REDACTED @ REDACTED:
    If you mean capacity tho, yeah, I can see Raspi with several 5TB hard drives in raid
    Quote Link
  • REDACTED @ REDACTED:
    Good luck finding anything that's not high tier corporate solution that can handle 10TB bandwidth if anything at all lmao
    Quote Link
  • Pseudonymous @ Pseudonymous:
    The problem is that all professional nas servers that I've seen, even without drives, cost thousands already if you want nice qol features
    Quote Link
  • Pseudonymous @ Pseudonymous:
    I'd love to have an expandable solution that I can upgrade down the line
    Quote Link
  • Pseudonymous @ Pseudonymous:
    Does Raspi have the bandwith to handle 10 terabytes?
    Quote Link
  • REDACTED @ REDACTED:
    Also what capacity you're looking for?
    Quote Link
  • REDACTED @ REDACTED:
    Consider Raspi and several hard drives
    Quote Link
  • Pseudonymous @ Pseudonymous:
    The problem is that professional solutions can cost up to 2 to 4 thousand dollars for the capacity I'm looking for
    Quote Link
  • Pseudonymous @ Pseudonymous:
    I'm starting to think about purchasing some nas servers just for storage for torrents and such. I hate having to delete them because they often have some really cool old crap and I want to make sure others can find and download them too

    don't we all

  • Pseudonymous @ Pseudonymous:
    I really should have backed up some of my older files 5 computers and 2 homes ago, I had a bunch of old crap that I kept around because they were rare, even then
    Quote Link
  • yot @ yot:
    maybe try an archive? I'm not sure if there are any that go back to 2012 that are still online though :(

  • Pseudonymous @ Pseudonymous:
    I want to get back into searching for awesome posts like those on 4chan, but it's a bit exhaustive lol
    Quote Link
  • REDACTED @ REDACTED:
    Backup I have was made in 2016, so those were saved somewhere around 2012-2014 I'd assume

  • Pseudonymous @ Pseudonymous:
