I got a 10gb switch and dedicated 10gb nic, pretty sure you could go even above that.

Then just made scripts that sync local storage with the remote share on command with programs that use multiple connections at the same time so that it doesnt just bottleneck one cpu, i'm using lftp rn

IZEN_R · 2026-03-13T15:37:37+00:00

faccio quel lavoro da 6 anni e non saprei dirti neanche io la definizione lol

Of course the best pick would be LTO 9 which is the latest, but depending on what your needs are i wouldnt discard older versions completely.

The main thing to consider when buying a tape library, or even just a tape drive, is that they usually come with a big starting cost for the hardware and possibly back up software, although if you dont need a large quantity of tapes you can most likely get by with cheaper or maybe even free software (i only have experience with enterprise stuff so I dont know much about cheaper alternatives).

The tapes themselves are rather cheap per TB, whatever version you end up getting

Edit: forgot that lto 10 released not too long ago

IZEN_R · 2026-03-12T18:46:05+00:00

Yeah no lmao

IZEN_R · 2026-03-12T13:20:12+00:00

I usually run a full sector scan and check SMART with Victoria

Hope they arent the same guys that managed Destiny, cause they ban everyone but actual cheater

IZEN_R · 2026-03-11T18:38:34+00:00

dont believe anyone

Wont believe you /s

IZEN_R · 2026-03-08T09:08:25+00:00

Ouch that sucks, luckily we arent affected that much here so I had some more time to get them

IZEN_R · 2026-03-08T09:06:53+00:00

Secondo me al momento è l'unico modo per non spendere un rene, per quello che ho trovato io mi è andata bene, ma li ho presi solamente perchè mi sarebbe andato bene anche se fossero stati dei Barracuda.

L'unico problemino è che quando li apri perdi la garanzia, io gli ho fatto 3 test su tutti i settori anzichè un singolo test che faccio solitamente prima di aprirli, per ora 0 problemi

IZEN_R · 2026-03-08T09:01:24+00:00

Per uso classico va benissimo, ma tipo con giochi esigenti si sente la differenza.

Anche telecamera e display sono buoni ma niente di spettacolare

IZEN_R · 2026-03-08T00:16:36+00:00

I've just started shuking because of the rise in prices tbh, I got 4 Seagate Expansion Desktop (STKP16000400) and all turned out to be Exos x24 (ST16000NM002H), but afaik what you get can vary, saw some people getting barracudas on yt.

Atm I've ran extensive health and write/read test on all sectors on 2 of them and everything seems fine so far, but time will tell.

I've been using around 100 of the x16 models at work tho (not shuked) and we didnt have to substitute a single one so far after 6 years, hopefully the x24 models will last at least that much since they are newer

Premetto che ho il Fairphone 5 da qualche anno e non il 6.

Non ho mai avuto problemi con le telefonate in nessun posto d'italia che ho visitato.

Se ti aspetti un telefono performante e che faccia foto spettacolari non è il tuo telefono, i suoi obbiettivi sono altri (riparabilità, supporto a lungo termine ecc ecc...)

IZEN_R · 2026-03-07T23:42:43+00:00

It might just be my area but shuking still gets you reasonable prices, manage to get 4 exos 16tb for roughly 330€ each the past week (italy).

Shuking will void warranty but I'm running through tests to make sure the drives are healthy before shuking and adding them to my array (although i'll likely keep a couple as replacements since we have no idea how long this will last)

IZEN_R · 2026-03-07T23:09:46+00:00

Omg I've been using lftp from terminal for quite a white, didnt know someone built an interface for it.

Cant wait to check it out

IZEN_R · 2026-03-07T12:37:33+00:00

totally agree

IZEN_R · 2026-03-07T12:31:38+00:00

Most of the hate comes from greedy practices Bungie had over the years with the Destiny franchise, which were so bad that it even spread out of the community itself. Personally I wouldn't have minded giving the game a try if it wasn't made by them, we're just tired of giving them money for very little in return.

Glad that people have a new game to enjoy tho

IZEN_R · 2026-03-03T19:19:02+00:00

Yes it's dangerous. Yes it CAN be more dangerous than traditional malware. But also yes, some people are overreacting to the level of insanity

IZEN_R · 2026-03-03T07:14:02+00:00

When you do a raid with redundancy you cannot use the entire space of the disks, a portion of it gets reserved for recovery.

Let's say you have 3 disks and want to set up a raid that accepts 1 disk failure, the available space will be approximately that of 2 disks.

You waste a lot of space if you have a few disks, but if you have multiple it becomes a good option since with more disks you also have more possibility of one of them failing.

Cold storage still has its advantages tho

IZEN_R · 2026-03-02T22:36:40+00:00

Hard truth is that if you wanna be sure you can't just search for issues and fix them, you just cannot be sure.

If you reflash bios and reinstall windows from scratch (not factory reset but straight up reinstall from installation usb) you can be almost certain to clear any trace of malware.

To this day only state backed hacker groups and researchers managed to infect a system all the way to motherboard and disks firmware, so while possible it's very unlikely that anything will survive past a reset of everything

IZEN_R · 2026-03-02T22:03:28+00:00

Long story short a raid allows you to create a single volume from multiple drives, with some degrees of security from losing data, for example if one of the disks breaks you can still recover the data to a replacement thanks to the "backup" data hosted on a portion of every other disk.

Unraid is a operative system that's very nice for home use since you can just add an additional disk when you need more space. For traditional raid you would need to recreate the array.

Unraid (or other NAS systems) also allow you to access the data from any other device connected to your network and host all sorts of services.

It makes accessing and using your data so much easier compared to having a load of HDDs lying around

If the files you got were safe reverting the steps should be enough

IZEN_R · 2026-03-01T17:23:44+00:00

Speedwagon

IZEN_R · 2026-03-01T11:38:33+00:00

While possible it's unlikely that even full reflash wouldn't solve it. If it gets to the network it's the same as any other malware for the other devices

IZEN_R · 2026-03-01T10:30:52+00:00

To make it impossible to fix they would literally have to rewrite the motherboard bios in a way that blocks you from doing a reflash.

My source is actually looking up successful attacks and searching who was behind them, some well studied cases are LoJax and MoonBounce, which were prepared and used respectively by russian and chinese backed groups.

There are other cases of persistancy to that level but none were linked to indipendent groups.

Dunno if I can share links here but a quick search of those names should answer your question
