So will I.

No, you don’t need to do that.

It might be ‘state after G3’

lol

How is it obvious?

Physical pain? Zero.

Did you think about this before you wrote it?

So that’s who listens to this garbage…

Your timeline is straight up fucked. In short, you don’t know what you’re talking about.

Imagine you are driving the bed

actually quite enjoyable, ty!

I actually wasn’t being negative, but carry on.

I understand approximately half of what you wrote, but I see quite a few people upvoted you. Is this what dementia is like?

This is the worst second-hand embarrassment I’ve experienced in quite a while. I can’t imagine working with someone like this.

There is no sh shell.

Fuck MS Word tho, no?

Definitely isn’t necessary, but if you search for ‘3.5" SAS lot’ on ebay you might find all the drives you’ll need to get to 50TB for the price of a couple new SATA drives.

Yeah, you don’t want a surveillance drive. They are optimized for continuous writes, not random IO.

It’s probably worth familiarizing yourself with the difference between CMR and SMR drives.

If you expect this to keep growing, it might make sense to switch to SAS now - then you can find some really cheap enterprise class drives on ebay that will perform a bit better in this type of configuration. You’d just need a cheap HBA (like a 9211-8i) and a couple breakout cables. You can use SATA drives with a SAS HBA, but not the other way around.

SSD RAID is actually very common outside of home use! And yeah, clustered filesystems help overcome many of these limitations, but tend to be extremely demanding (expensive hardware for comparable performance). Network almost immediately becomes the bottleneck. Even forgetting about latency and other network efficiency concerns, 100 Gbps isn’t that fast when you have individual devices approaching 16 Gbps.

“Mid-range systems” is not referring to personal computers. “8-inch drives” is another clue.
