Terastation died

(1/8) > >>

Ugh . . . I knew this day would come.  Over a terabyte of (mostly pirated) media (likely) gone.   :'(  It's a RAID 5 array, so theoretically I have no problem.  But I think people have had fairly poor luck with rebuilding Terastation arrays.  We'll see how it goes.  No time to address it now.  Maybe this weekend.  I wonder how easy 500 GB IDE drives are to come by these days.  SATA ones are going for like $60, I think.  Anyway, we'll see.  I actually think it's the box and not a drive, unfortunately.

danny_galaga:

wow. i have a 120 gig hard drive and its not even half full. and even then there is quite a bit of crap on it!

just think of the positives though. seeing the same pron over and over gets boring. you needed to update that collection sooner or later  ;D

saint:
3.5 TB on my server, mostly full -- all of it legitimate media. I PVR a ton of stuff, and rip all of my DVDs to the hard drive. Also use the server to backup all the other computers in the house. Something like 45 Gigs of family photos alone.

shmokes:
Yeah . . . there's not a lot of porn on it.  It's mostly movies and TV shows.  The movies are ripped and encoded to Xvid files, so they take up about 1.5 GB apiece.  I just have A LOT of them.  It's really a shame, though, as I haven't seen at least 30% of them yet :(  My wife watches them while I study.  It was a very big collection.  In addition to the movies I had every episode of a whole slew of TV shows, many of them ones I wanted to see.

Oh well.  Easy come, easy go.  Though, temporally speaking they went much easier than they came.  That collection was many years in the making  :)
