my argument is just to provide redundancy. we do not need additional local redundancy because the data is out there. it would be a problem if my copy or your copy somehow becomes the only copy. then we would be concerned.

this says INR 11,000.00 which is $137.raw 100 would need around 18 so $2500.
i think there can be variations of disk sizes and amazon fluctuations but in cases like these i would have a business buy them because that way input tax of 18% would pass on to the business and conversely to me for lowering the final bill. so, $2118 would be for these drives. same for the server. a tax benefit of 18%.
as i said, i would love to have this
- exikyut 5y agoHuh. I seriously need to graph the size vs price thing and figure out where the sweet spots are. I last did that sort of thing a few years ago, got completely out of the game. I just googled a bit and discovered 18TB drives are a thing and went and looked for those. lol I guess you're right about not needing local redundancy... although this is very much at odds with the "disk is over 500GB, redundancy required!!11" beeper in my head :D (And wow things do fluctuate quite a bit, I just poked around and found https://www.amazon.com/MDD-Ultrastar-HUS726060ALE614-Enterprise-Surveillance/dp/B09GTWBMZN/ref=sr_1_3 https://www.amazon.com/MDD-Ultrastar-HUS726060ALE614-Enterpr... (6TB) for US$99, but that's a DVR quality drive, only rated for short term storage.) Also, TIL about the tax thing, that's really cool. TIL about the Indian GST.
