Your definition of "crazy" huge amount of data is pretty conservative. Your proposed solution would top out at 4TB, while most people I know who spinning up their own RAID at home are looking to store multiple tens of TB. For the cost of the solution you propose (4x 1TB @ $150/ea + $50 NVMe) you could set up an RAID-type solution with 32TB of raw capacity (4x 8TB @ $140/ea + $90 for PCie card and cables).
- loeg 6y ago> tens of GB typo -- tens of TB?
- Exmoor 6y agoIndeed, fixed. Thanks.
- giantrobot 6y agoIt's still tens of GB, lots and lots of tens of GB.
- m0xte 6y agoMost RAID solutions I’ve seen in SOHO environments are 2 bay Qnap etc. Usually top out at 2TiB online. I’d argue anything larger is exceptional. <10% population.
- Wistar 6y agoMy photography archive, including about 10 years of high-volume commercial photography, is about 14 years old and at about 23TB. At present, it grows about 5GB a day. I have stopped routinely shooting RAW because storing it all has become a mess.
