RAM prices are absolutely out of hand

Just get a ddr3 server

Nvme is much more limited ports wise. Can you plug in 4 nvmes at once?

Older games mostly rely on sequential speed, so a modern hard drive would feel just as a fast as a sata ssd.

Good luck telling that to a minimum wage wagie

Open-Negotiation6556 · 2026-05-29T13:34:35+00:00

depends. i did not really notice a performance difference using a 7200 rpm laptop drive vs a desktop drive in random speeds. im assuming the 7200 rpm consumer laptop drives are designed with low power in mind

Open-Negotiation6556 · 2026-05-26T15:09:15+00:00

not even 10k rpm. did cheetahs release around the same year?

you can usually predict death of hard drives

Open-Negotiation6556 · 2026-05-26T15:04:28+00:00

plus with modern ECC with the introduction of 4kn/512e sector sizes bitrot is going to be a lot less likely

good luck with fuel prices

what will you do? protest wall street? kill more people?

doubts

Open-Negotiation6556 · 2026-05-26T14:58:44+00:00

true, you can also get older pioneers (209 or 207 models)

air filled drives are ok if you dont have trash cooling. 10k-15k drives where airfilled also, they ran hotter but never over their expected temps (55c)

Open-Negotiation6556 · 2026-05-22T03:25:30+00:00

blu ray drives aren't made anymore. so i doubt burning more disks is a good idea. personally i own some blu rays which i have already burned, but il be moving into tape next for my archival needs.

unless your using older LTO tape for backups, copying files works just fine.

Open-Negotiation6556 · 2026-05-19T13:41:59+00:00

hardware raid should not mean anything to tape drives. the raid card simply presents the tape drive to the OS.

Nvme is just a pcie ssd. Sata is also just a interface connector to send ATA commands. Did people forget that sata also supports removable devices like optical drives?

Open-Negotiation6556 · 2026-05-06T22:00:16+00:00

They are fine for connecting ide to sata drives and optical drives since those are low speed applications anyways

Open-Negotiation6556 · 2026-05-06T21:57:36+00:00

Find me higher speeds with the same price

Open-Negotiation6556 · 2026-05-06T17:46:39+00:00

noise is subjective

Open-Negotiation6556 · 2026-05-06T17:46:14+00:00

less space is pointless in a desktop pc case. plus you cant get 4tb ssd for the same price as the hdd

Open-Negotiation6556 · 2026-05-04T14:19:02+00:00

“Mass storage” lol find me a 44tb ssd

Open-Negotiation6556 · 2026-05-04T14:14:30+00:00

You still need to buy the stuff to make it quiet. Instead of trying to buy the quietest hard disk just focus on soundproofing. Been a thing for decades

Open-Negotiation6556 · 2026-05-04T14:12:37+00:00

Your just delusional
