He is using ~$1000 of hardware to save on ~$100 harddrive


16TB of video, actual files, not raw storage, and I need to transcode it, so you're saying just transcode that data and store duplicates? Yeah not a ~$100 hard drive.


Sorry, ~$180 (8TB storage pod, for example STEB8000100).


Whatever man, that's just a single hard drive. I've got 8 hard drives setup in a custom raid. I can't just willy nilly buy an off the shelf usb drive to add storage too it. You come off so high and mighty not knowing someones actual needs.


Sounds about right.
