Finished with my current storage upgrade. I upgraded five drives.
4TB > 10TB (x2)
4TB > 8TB (x2)
2TB > 8TB
After I was done, I had 6 drives that are no longer being used (add to the pile...LOL).
4TB HGST x2
4TB Seagate x2
2TB Samsung
2TB WD Green
Nice. I'm due for a storage upgrade myself.
I might break up some of my raid 10 arrays and convert them to raid 5, cheap way to gain space.
Pain in the ass to do that though, since can't really do it live. I also need to check that mouse trap... it's going to be gross at this point lol. The date resets every time the monitoring software has to be restarted so these alarms are way older. I actually need to fix that so it keeps track of existing alarms.

I store my pics long term in my Other Video drive. I've got to work on scanning my parents photos and other photo projects that I've been neglecting.

What for?
I don't download movies so I don't need huge storage. I put the money into RAM instead.

How much ram do you have? Do you have a TB of RAM? How many tabs do you keep open? 😸

If I had a machine to support a TB of RAM, I'd consider it. I'm at 128GB. I need to support FireFox and Google Earth as both grow and grow and grow..

My VM server only has 32GB lol. It's the max the machine supports. Been wanting to upgrade to a multi host system for a while but it's clearly not a priority. I do want to move to Proxmox or other open source solution though, it sucks having to spin up a Windows VM just to be able to manage the VM server.
I originally built this system with the intention of setting up a Windows AD environment just to keep my IT server admin knowledge sharp in case I ever go back to IT but with everything going to cloud now days it's probably pointless.
