I had a Beelink Me Mini and a half dozen NVMEs in my cart around that time, but didn’t pull the trigger when the price started rising and now I’m kicking myself for it.

CompactFlax@discuss.tchncs.de 3 days agoI bought RAM just in the cusp of the jump. September I put it in the cart waiting for Black Friday and October came by and it was up 50% and I jumped on.
But I’m deleting stuff on my NAS. I neeeed some big drives.

Yeah … until drives become cheap again, my solution is just to go through and see what data I can afford to live without, then delete it to free up more space.

I finally bit the bullet months ago and invested into LTO8 for my cold storage, I still need to buy drives at some point, but at least I’ve got a decent path to put shit in the mean time so I don’t gotta delete anything lolol

What did that set you back for how much storage?
cm0002@lemy.lol 3 days ago
Hmm iirc the physical setup (tape drive, auto loader, HBA card for my server) set me back ~2.5k (with the bulk of that being the drive itself) and then the actual tapes was prob another ~1k for 200TBs raw, but more like 100TB actual usable since I use another tape for a backup off-site copy

Almost $4k.
sigh
Not your fault but damn.
