Well, largest this week. And
Yeah, $800 isnβt a small chunk of change, but for a hard drive of this capacity, itβs monumentally cheap.
Nah, a 24TB is $300 and some 20TB's are even lower $ per TB.
I paid $600+ for a 24 TB drive, tax free. I feel robbed. Although I'm glad not to shop at Newegg.
Yes, fuck Newegg (and amazon too). I've been using B&H for disks and I have no complaints about them. They have the Seagate Ironwolf Pro 24TB at $479 currently, but last week it was on sale for $419. (I only look at 5yr warranty disks.)
I was not in a position to take advantage as I've already made my disk purchase this go around, so I'll wait for the next deep discount to hit if it is timely.

It will take about 36 hours to fill this drive at 270mb/s
Thatβs a long time to backup your giraffe porn collection.
What kind of degenerate do you think I am? Thatβs 36 hours to back up my walrus porn collection.

That's a lot of porn.
And linux distros
Just say it's full of porn, it's easier to explain
Always keep an nsfw tab open to swap to so your family doesnt see you on the arch linux wiki.

I wanna fuck this HDD. To have that much storage on one drive when I currently have ~30TB shared between 20 drives makes me very erect.

Defragmenting...
Man, I used to LOVE defragmenting drives. I felt like I was actually doing something productive, and I just got to sit back and watch the magic happen.
Now I know better.

Seagate so how long before it fails?
In my experience, not all Seagates will fail but most HDD's that fail will be Seagates.

Do you need it? Probably not. Do you want it? Oh, yeah.
I feel seen
no thanks Seagate. the trauma of losing my data because of a botched firmware with a ticking time bomb kinda put me off your products for life.
see you in hell.

Yeah, but it's Seagate. I have worked in data centers, and Seagate drives had the most failures of all my drives and somehow is still in business. I'd say I was doing an RMA of 5-6 drives a month that were Seagate, and only 4-5 a year Western Digital.

This hard drive is so big that when it sits around the house, it sits around the house.
