minus-squareWeirdGoesPro@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up17arrow-down1·12 days agoI disagree. I very much want something like this at some point for media storage. One of these babies could replace all of my spinning disk drives.
minus-squareegidighsea@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·12 days agoMake sure you make backups - it’s better to have multiple small drives in case of failure than one big, but in any case 3-2-1 backups!

minus-squaresugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·12 days agoHonestly, that size of drive doesn’t need a comparison. This isn’t for your average user, so you don’t need to dumb it down for them.

minus-squareJeffool @lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·12 days agoYeah really. It’s been years since I saw a 90m movie.
