Can anyone estimate how much money would I spend for 150TB storage of hard drives? Like the minimum money (if i buy these hard drives in sale) and maximum money ( if i buy these hd in undiscounted price)?
Do you recommend doubling this 150TB to save trouble from corruption/hd failures? Thank you in advance.
There’s a $260 per 20TB HDD from Newegg right now.
It’s insane how it’s constantly this low
Minimum $0
Maximum $infinity
You didn’t say where you live and what budget you have. What solution do you want to plan, what HW etc. So I assume you live in Europe, amazon.de, going shuking, you would need 10x18TB drives for 292€ each, total 2920€. Then you can arrange it on RAID 5 and get 162TB, RAID 6 and get 144TB, or unRaid with double parity and get 144TB.
I just Google on amazon.de and do some basic math. It didn’t take too much.
Just multiply 15x150, most OSes have a calculator, there are also some online (even google would do it if you feed it directly) ? That’s the thumb rule, both in US dollars and in Euros.
Ready through the Wiki, it will answer many questions. Depending on where you live (USA/EU) drives can go for $11-17 per TB on sale. Then you should also think about parity aka a RAID5, RAID6 in case a drive breaks down. There are plenty of guides when you Google this.
Plus you’d need to buy the hardware CPU, memory, case but this all depends on your use case. Archival storage vs video editing. Homeserver with lots of virtualization or simple data storage. You get the gist.
You will not get a good answer here with a general question like this. Do you research, find your use case, ask detailed answers.
