I always had high hopes for SSDs to come down in price enough to rival spinning rust, but it seems we’ve hit a wall around 4TB for the time being. If HAMR drives don’t turn out to be outrageously expensive, I’ll be spinning discs in my NAS for the foreseeable

Earlier roadmaps set a goal of reaching 100TB by the end of the decade.

Linux ISOs here I come!

It’ll be interesting to see how reliable these things are. That’s a lot of data to store in one place and RAID rebuild times will be long.

Aren’t RAID rebuilds on 16TB drives already like a week? Maybe those HAMR drives will have two actuators, but I still don’t think that’ll speed things up much.

I recently migrated my QNAP NAS from 20TB single with a 2nd drive to RAID1. It did a rebuild that took just over 48h. Then I added another drive and migrated to RAID5. It did again just over 48h rebuild. So it’s not too bad.

If you have an SMR drive ZFS resilvers can take upwards of three weeks haha

Omg don’t remind me of the SMR fiasco. I once bought an SMR drive by accident and didn’t understand why overwriting lots of small files happened at like 5kbps…I couldn’t believe it when I found out!
