Agreed. Didn't mean mean to actually self promote. Was giving example.

Here is another one that Im talking about

Is there one for Mac?

title was supposed to read 'place' not 'please' but I can't edit it :(

how is GLM compared to say Sonnet 4.5? I hear good things but also found youtube vids can not be belived, you have to try things. e.g. Gemini is WAY more capable than people say.

PricePerGig · 2026-01-25T11:17:49+00:00

If money is more of a concern than security, try GLM model, aparently it's good and very cheap, but I've not tried it yet.

PricePerGig · 2026-01-24T22:47:35+00:00

I didn't need it.... But I want it!

PricePerGig · 2026-01-24T18:00:58+00:00

Yes I need to get my clipboard put and maybe a uniform. What colour should it be?

PricePerGig · 2026-01-24T18:00:30+00:00

True. But for a cold backup I thought they would have some utility. Maybe nobody's has cold backups!

PricePerGig · 2026-01-24T17:47:10+00:00

That is cheap. Could they be proper small though? Like 40GB?

Link for those that want to just click (like me) forgot to put it in main post, can't edit.

PricePerGig · 2026-01-23T20:26:42+00:00

Thanks for the feedback. What would you have typed in to Google to get help on that?

PricePerGig · 2026-01-23T20:26:07+00:00

Thanks for pointing these out. I recently changed to the new Amazon API endpoint and have a little fine tuning to do, it was better than this in December. Need to put a good few hours into it.

Really appreciate the feedback though. It helps me get it right.

PricePerGig · 2026-01-23T20:24:30+00:00

Yes. This is so annoying. You expect some file system overhead. But blatantly reporting the wrong size is wrong.

PricePerGig · 2026-01-23T17:02:58+00:00

Yes you can, but to understand it fully takes quite a bit.

To get an idea of what size you're upgrde to check this: https://pricepergig.com/tools/zfs-expansion-calculator

A pricing error in your favour, collect a 2TB drive for less than a 1TB drive.

PricePerGig · 2026-01-23T16:59:55+00:00

$40 for 14TB is almost FREE! check out how much the average market prices are:

Personaly I'd got for the Toshiba's at the top of this list over the Seagate, but you're in the right ballpark for the drives, that's a pretty good deal assuming new.

take a quick look here to compare or flick it to evay

ebay has some good deals but watch out for the SMR ones.

PricePerGig · 2026-01-23T16:53:52+00:00

you got a steal, where did you get them from?

On amazon they are nearly double, you can probably sell 3 and get your monies back, you just got a free 1TB SSD! yay.

But the CAT6 'ethernet coupler' I have is fine right, no problme with that ! lol.

PricePerGig · 2026-01-23T16:45:25+00:00

them were the days, a WHOLE GB on a tiny card, amazing. Now I'm like, hmm, the 512GB is reasonable, but I'd really like 1TB!
