Data Hoarder

We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time (tm) ). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

I feel like we're finally starting to get SSD prices close to HDD. Not to mention the capacity. I just saw an 8 TB Samsung for $300. That's about $37 per TB. A bit more than twice that of most HDD. If we factor in size, power consumption, heat, and performance, that's still a really good value! Anyone know of a good 5-12 bay enclosure haha.

And in the next couple years, we will likely see SSD in the 10-20 TB range. Hell, 20-50 TB should be plenty for a majority of data hoarder except for the most extreme. In fact, I think you can get most movies and shows in decent quality for around 100 TB. Unless you're downloading just to be downloading to build that stash, then most will never approach that amount.
