    Try being a graphic designer or video editor. I've stopped running out of disk space and started running out of SATA slots on the mobo.

    [–] stupidcasey@lemmy.world 17 points 2 weeks ago

    Get a NAS, you should be using one any way, It makes switching computers extremely easy, you don't have to bother transferring hundreds of TB just install the apps you use and your good to go.

    Got space for a PCIe 8x card? Get a lsi2308 and a set of SAS to SATA cables. 8 drives off that bad boy, and actually reliable unlike every single PCI or PCIe SATA card I've ever tried.

    [–] FQQD@lemmy.ohaa.xyz 5 points 2 weeks ago

    I did try both and I do, in fact have the same problem xd

    [–] amotio@lemmy.world 40 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

    I have just bought 8TB drive, but thus time I am using it ONLY to backup and store stale data, so far 1TB cleanes from my main SSDs. Wish me luck.

    [–] Atelopus-zeteki@fedia.io 14 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

    I just pulled up NewEgg, and saw a 24TB for $319. I need to level up!

    [–] spicytuna62@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

    My wife got me 8 TB about 3 or 4 years ago. It's awesome. My Blu Ray library is on it and I still have 5 TB free

    I don't know what emotion this is trying to convey but I appreciate it nonetheless

    Unused storage is wasted storage

    [–] Localhorst86 11 points 2 weeks ago

    Imagine paying for storage and not use all of it.

    The GIMP watermark makes this even funnier

    [–] ChaoticNeutralCzech 16 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

    I bet they didn't register their copy. Probably torrented it, too.

    Piracy is killing the FOSS industry!

    [–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 22 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

    That's how I got a free netbook. It had 32GB and could not be expanded. 27GB on it was wasted on windows and office. And then it needed to download an 8GB update.

    Owner had to buy a new one, I got the old one for free. It now has 26GB free, with Linux, libreoffice, and developer tools already installed.

    I am still trying to figure out what is going since Win 7, and it takes so much space (I don't know about Vista)

    data hoarders we out here

    [–] Irelephant@lemm.ee 16 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

    I was once wondering where 80gb of my storage went when I was reinstalling a game, and I eventually found out it was because I forgot to delete the .rar archive after I extracted it.

    Small stuff (arguably) like that always fills my disks until it becomes a problem.

    [–] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

    That's why I use tools like dust or TreeSizeView to see where storage is being used. Far easier to find the culprits.

    [–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 10 points 2 weeks ago

    Have you thought about uploading your mind and not your body?

    [–] daggermoon@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

    I got 37 TB in my system, you?

    [–] synapse1278@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

    NAS is at 48TB raw, 24TB effective.

    [–] ftbd 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

    4x12 in RAID10, or what's your setup?

    [–] synapse1278@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

    Yes, that's right BTRFS RAID10

    [–] ftbd 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

    Nice, what kind of R/W speeds do you get? I opted for 3x16 in RAID5 (ZFS)

    [–] synapse1278@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

    I haven't measure precisely, performance is not a major concern to me. But I remember seeing local write speed around 350MB/s (reading from SSD writing to HDD RAID array).

    [–] daggermoon@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

    Nice. You buy all of your drives new or used?

    16tb currently. Don't want to expand until getting enough backup drives.

    Me who still has a 512gb ssd that is always atleast 150gb free.

    [–] spez@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 week ago

    Only ever use 25% of my already small nvme lol, I am at the other end of the bell curve I guess

    [–] Pharmacokinetics@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

    What do you store? I had a 1tb drive for 2 years and it only got 100GB full

    [–] mexicancartel@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

    Maybe he installed two games

    [–] Pharmacokinetics@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

    Well yeah so do I but to my SSD. What do people usually store in their HDD? Photos?

    [–] quack@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 weeks ago

    As many 64kbps MP3s of All Star by Smash Mouth as it will hold. I have no need to store anything else.
