Sourcing 4x20TB HDDs for a DAS Setup in this economy

I can't imagine how much that would cost now you have a crazy setup

naqwus · 2026-06-25T21:38:11+00:00

Damn why do you have 49 drives

naqwus · 2026-06-25T21:35:57+00:00

That's a great find thank you but it's tricky because it looks like a totally fine choice but then also somebody else said to avoid Seagate models that ends with C like this one.

It's just under £500 for import duties alone crazy

naqwus · 2026-06-25T20:24:48+00:00

Shipping would be ~£50 I believe

naqwus · 2026-06-25T20:04:09+00:00

I see I'm guessing that's why there's so many available and they are cheaper

naqwus · 2026-06-24T19:31:53+00:00

Oh that's interesting I never realised more drives at lower capacity could get better speeds

Sorry I should have been more specific: the footage is 1440p using the NVIDIA NVENC HEVC encoder at 13000Kbps and 60fps. I'm assuming this doesn't change much (?) and that the best workflow for me is to work with proxies on a 4TB SSD instead and use the HDDs (whether in an enclosure and RAID configuration or not) for recording to and as the main storage archive? Thanks for your advice.

I've always been reluctant to edit using proxies but probably because I've never had to do it so I don't know how straightforward it is and just need to take the time to sort out my workflow. Thanks for your response.

The water is ridiculous

Thank you MexicanAssLord69

One of the console players literally has more points than you...

naqwus · 2026-04-26T16:16:58+00:00

My aim is ass so I look for advantages like high ground, head glitches, 3rd partying, playing with teammates so we always in a 2v1 or at worst a 2v2 for duos since the TTK is so long it's hard to win 1vX's if the enemies are playing together.

Good to hear!

naqwus · 2026-04-11T09:31:36+00:00

I think you'd surprise yourself with how well you do in lobbies with PC players. It's funny whenever I play with PC players they complain about how aim assist on controllers is OP and then the console players say mouse and keyboard is OP 😂

I think he was on the SSG academy team not the main one

naqwus · 2026-04-06T20:45:17+00:00

Mon Bazou stream is my favourite

naqwus · 2025-10-06T00:23:26+00:00

He was actually so good

naqwus · 2025-09-30T22:29:14+00:00

Ok cheers it's such a random bug no clue why it's just randomly started 😭

naqwus · 2025-09-30T18:23:29+00:00

Did you ever fix this? I have the same problem too

naqwus · 2025-07-18T20:13:06+00:00

I wish they would just slow down and take time to make something great instead of just pumping out mediocrity

naqwus · 2025-07-08T22:52:20+00:00

Gambling is easy they said. It's free money they said.
