I just replaced a bad drive in a NAS and picked up a 12 TB IronWolf PRO for $332.99. I thought it was not a bad price. The bad drive is in warranty, so I plan to get it replaced.

Why did you pick the IronWolf Pro over the Exos? 1.2m MTBF compared to 2.5m, and an 18TB Exos is only $60 more. Or put another way, 50% more storage and 2x the reliability for 20% more money.

I bought a bunch of 4TB IronWolfs (IronWolves? Lol) in June 2020 for $100.99 for a homebrew NAS; they're now $104.99 on Amazon. Doesn't seem to much different now? Have prices stabilized, or is 4TB no longer in vogue?Comment

Yes, I am aware of the Exos. I stuck with the IronWolf Pro because I was replacing a failed drive and I needed it to work in the NAS, and the extra capacity wasn't necessary.Why did you pick the IronWolf Pro over the Exos? 1.2m MTBF compared to 2.5m, and an 18TB Exos is only $60 more.

I will evaluate the Exos drives in the future.Comment

I wonder how much space the Calguns site takes up, if they have to expand every 6 months, what it takes to run this place.

I used to use a laptop for navigation, satellite imagery, a magnetometer and multibeam sonar. I would barely get by with a 2 tb SSD and a large external drive. I eventually had to use two laptops to efficiently process and display the data. High resolution imagery is extremely data intensive.Thermidorian Reaction . .

I think CHIA fizzled so aren't hard drives like a dime a dozen now?Comment

Had to remove the one from my old system and i got a case to it. It works perfectly.Comment

Hmmm, takes me back. When I first started my computer career, MFM and RLL Drives were still in use (this was when IDE was just entering the market).
When the Seagate ST412 10 meg, full height, 5 1/4" drive was introduced, it was like $1200.
I still remember paying a dollar a meg for IDE drives before enhanced IDE so that was when they were limited to 512mb or something like that, memory is failing me now. That was around 1994 or so. Yeah, a 100mb Seagate drive was just over $100 bucks.
I actually can't complain, I think drives are cheap compared to their data size.

I remember Zip drives, Travan, DLT, lots of slow tape drives before all the Synology stuff and Terrastations.Comment
