Who are we?

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). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

We are one. We are legion. And we're trying really hard not to forget.

Scouring through amazon for random stuff yesterday, saw these "generic brand" nvmes for $65 a pop. Figured I's give it a shot for my little geekworm pie nas. 4 for the raid and 1 for backup if something goes boogers up. 20tb for $325 was too good to pass up, worse case scenario they are either 1tb each or they fail after a few months. We'll see whats up when they get here in 2 weeks.

It looks like a samsung branded nvme drive, but there isnt a 1080 product line. I hope for you they actually have 4tb cause thatd be dope as hell! Nice find

There is a 0% chance these things are 4tb. A used 4tb 3.5" HDD is more expensive than this.

I'd say there's like a 1.4% chance they are 4tb... Don't ask me how I got those numbers, I'm an idiot who bought 20tbs of nvme's for $325 off amazon
