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.
I did try both and I do, in fact have the same problem xd
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.
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.
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)
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.
That’s why I use tools like
dustor TreeSizeView to see where storage is being used. Far easier to find the culprits.
What do you store? I had a 1tb drive for 2 years and it only got 100GB full
Maybe he installed two games
Well yeah so do I but to my SSD. What do people usually store in their HDD? Photos?
As many 64kbps MP3s of All Star by Smash Mouth as it will hold. I have no need to store anything else.
based af
Only ever use 25% of my already small nvme lol, I am at the other end of the bell curve I guess
Just remove snaps
Uninstall Call of Duty.
Have you thought about uploading your mind and not your body?
slaps desktop PC case
This bad boy can fit so many fuckin drives in it.
slaps shelf
This bad boy can fit so many … fuck … crash … shit
This def feels like a shirt that goes hard. I’d wear the hell outta this lol.
Between steam games and music vst, I’m getting stacked brother.
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.
I just pulled up NewEgg, and saw a 24TB for $319. I need to level up!
You can get a cheap QNAP 4 bay with 4x 12-18tb refurbished enterprise drives for a 36-54tb RAID5 for like sub $800 (as low as $600) tbh. Don’t know if you have the budget for that but the speed will be faster and you’ll be solidly protected from data loss on the unit.
You could even do a 2 bay with like 2x 24tb for a combined 48tb or backed up 24tb for idk $400?
Whoa-Dang! I foresee a business expense in my office’s near future. FWIW, I’ve been pondering setting up a server, for various projects.
I set up my first RAID5 a few months ago and let me tell you it was trivially easy. Don’t regret it for a second. I have not shifted my server over to it yet but that is in the works.
For context it’s a 42TB RAID5 (4x 14tb ultra stars) and all in I was like $650. I got really lucky during Black Friday and got those drives for like 110 eagles a piece or something
Thanks for the encouragement.
Good luck! Holler if you have any questions. Though most of the stuff is pretty easy to search luckily
Well thank you! I have various parts & peices, that I think is sufficient to set things up. I should say, I’m not in the Linux environment. And from what I’ve read it looks so much easier than it would have been in the 90s when I started using computers in earnest.
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
data hoarders we out here
Are these Skyrim furry mods?
I don’t know what emotion this is trying to convey but I appreciate it nonetheless
Me who still has a 512gb ssd that is always atleast 150gb free.
What are you doing with all those Linux ISOs?
