Spend a few hundred to a few thousand buck and build a chunky NAS. Get a bunch of 12TB SSDs and put them in a RAIDZn. Also, what shitty phone takes 108MP photo

Spend a few hundred to a few thousand buck and build a chunky NAS. Get a bunch of 12TB SSDs and put them in a RAIDZn.
Also, what shitty phone takes 108MP photos? That's guaranteed to be some stupid Android phone gimmick. There's no way having that many pixels with a teeny optical path and a teeny sensor is useful. I'd only want above 100MP on a medium format sensor.

- wyager 5y agoIt’s quite unlikely that a RAIDZ2-3 system fails in a way that you lose your data (short of catching on fire), but I also have offsite snapshot backups at rsync.net. 10mbps up is plenty to keep that synced, even if you write hundreds of GB per day.
