My main server now has two #Toshiba hard drives. I have no idea why they are so unpopular in the #selfhosting community when they are cheap, quiet, and reliable. I suppose #WD and #Seagate have good marketing departments.

By the way, here's the physical harddisk drive, I am using within my virtual 86Box DeskPro 386/25 configuration. It's an old CONNER CFS420A from 1993 and its geometry closely matches Compaq's fixed disk "type 38", even though this one only uses 315mb of space.

Close enough! 😜

When I created our home server back in March, I bought a 4TB internal hard drive (SSD Sata III) .

It cost £330 which, at the time, I thought was a bit steep.

Looking to get a second one for back-up. It now costs £1,062.

And I can only blame the Big Tech wankers for this complete hike in hardware costs. Data Centres are consuming SSDs for high speed storage to pull their data from, as well as their ridiculous RAM requirements.

Did you know a single hard drive can be divided into multiple sections called partitions?

Understanding partition types like:
Primary Partition
Extended Partition
Logical Partition
MBR & GPT

…can help improve storage management, system performance, backups, and OS installations.

Check out my latest article on Hard Disk Partition Types.

#SelfHost #HardDrive #NAS

I'm at a point where I need to start replacing some drives on a cold-storage box. It's currently a 8TB capacity from two 4 TB drives logically mapped together on Debian. I just use it as a second cold-storage site.

Any feedback on minimum 8 TB spinning platter drives (>=7200 rpm; SATA) that have good long-term performance records? The current drives are probably 8+ years old.

I've been reading that there are rumors that hard drives and USB flash drives might become obsolete due to a supposed shift toward the cloud storage.
I don't think that may be a good idea. So much to say about that stupidity.
