For the computer geeks: 48 TB home media server

Check out this guy's build, I'm ------- jealous

That's about $10,000 in drives alone, not even including any of the other components. My next setup will be a 5 TB array, I can't even imagine having 48 TB.

Figuring an average filesize of 8 GB for a 1080p movie, he could hold 6000 of them. That many HD movies haven't even been released

Re: For the computer geeks: 48 TB home media server

Just saw this, pretty sweet.

I'm going to start out with one or two 1tb drives on my next build, and make sure it has SATA ports for 4 more...

Thanks to that tracker I have all but 4gb used on my 750gb of drive space, and have another 100gb I need to move over from another computer. Good ol' nova is sending me a 250gb drive and pci/ide which should hold me over at least until I can build a new one.

I backed up my **** across a few dvds and am still low on space

Damn HD

We'd NEVAR need 48tb...until super high-def 3k-4k video becomes mainstream.

Re: For the computer geeks: 48 TB home media server

If 4k became mainstream 48tb would'nt hold more than a couple movies lol. That is pretty badass, I want to know what kind of array he's running though, Im still debating whether I want to go raid 10 or not...
