I need to update my post. A bunch of people are catching up to my old value now. My actual storage is just under 400TB now though I just haven't updated the post in forever.

Jeebus running a backblaze in your home ?
how the hell do you guys afford all of these expensive drives? lol
Assuming you make the nationwide median household income of $55K/year, with a 30% tax rate, you should have about $3200/month. Spend half of that on bills, a quarter of it on retirement, and you've got about $800/month for "fun money". That's a new drive every week until you run out of slots to stick 'em in.how the hell do you guys afford all of these expensive drives? lol

My ex and I owned half of a two family condo. 1250 sq ft, ugly as hell, cost $400,000
Thats about the cheapest you'd find anything for around here. There are some condos that go for ~$300,000, but that is rare. A decent single family home at about 2,500sqft is impossible to find under $600k
Unless you are making well over $100K here, you are scraping by.
...and I wouldn't live anywhere else.
Anyway, this is getting way off topic.
um, where is here?

Lol making some assumptions there. I wish I could buy a home for $100k, thats how much my car cost. I live in Southern California.
If you're only making $3.2K/month, you can't afford a $3K/month house. Make more, spend less, or move.Zarathustra[H];1041160732 said:Yeah, unless you live where $3000/month pays for a mortgage on a basic house.

Let's see some awesome storage setups!

Another Storage showoff thread coming ?
Michigan
Kalamazoo/Portage/Scotts/Pavilion Township/Texas Township area
Crappy winters though!
Brand new houses with land cost between $190k-$275k depending on finishing materials and appliances.
If you've got 5-10yrs experience and a good resume there are some good engineering, programming, networking & management jobs out here. $85k is usually where those jobs start at, moving to $100k in 3-5yrs.
Average commute is 45 miles 60 mins.
How did I know you were going to say Michigan...
I was and continue to get random job offers over there (my resume must still be floating around on monster or something) but OMG the winters would drive me insane, like clinically...
I'd be okay with this. Moving forward, it might even become a great idea, as storage moves away from the traditional drive and gets implemented more as cards.Zarathustra[H];1041179933 said:It would be nice to move to the same model they use in the photography, and show off your rig threads.
Have an edition for every year.
That way things stay fresh, and we don't wind up with these ridiculous huge threads that are difficult to muddle through.

100TB in one chassis... Damn. That's a minimum of 5TB drives for a 24-bay chassis. It'd be a very short thread!I messaged EnderW about creating a new 100TB thread with a sticky. 100TB is the next iteration of the massive storage pods. 10TB is nothing. 50TB is within reason. 100TB is HUGE and impressive.

Zarathustra[H];1041185001 said:I don't think we need to be THAT restrictive. The list of people on this forum with 100TB of storage in total, let alone in one chassis is going to be vanishingly small.
How about instead we just limit it to any home built RAID application (other than striping or mirroring). I say home built, as looking at a bunch of Synology/QNAP/Drobo's isn't very interesting.
This way it will let both those working on their first 6 drive RAID6 on consumer hardware and those with more imopressive setups play.
Would be nice if we restrict it final setups too, as looking at a bunch of pictures of boxes full of drives is kind of a drag.
We should also discourage anyone from using RAID5 or lower, as it is functionally obsolete these days.
People say using RAID at all is obsolete technology and ZFS/BTFS/ResierFS is TEH FUTRE. Tech agnosticism 100%.

Here is my latest creation:

2 HP DL160 G6
4 HP MSA60
2 - Intel 730 240GB
48 - 4TB WD RED
Setup as:
HP DL160 G6 with ESXi installed onto 16GB USB Thumbdrive attached to 2 MSA60 via Dell SAS external flashed to LSI firmware. Dell SAS external passed into FreeNAS VM. Intel 730 used as datastore for ESXi and ZIL for FreeNAS VM in first drive bay of DL160. Storage setup as 4 stripe of RAIDz2 with 6 x 4TB drives for 64TB per server or 128TB total storage.

Woah nice. How much of a dent does that do on the hydro bill?
I have like 20TB after my last upgrade which is not much compared to some of you but I'm only using like 1/4 of it. I need to download more things.
