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.

This looks like it might be it:

The drive doesn't provide 4TB of storage either, considering the single NAND chip. That means if you were to attempt to write that much data to the SSD, at some point it would either fail or start overwriting existing data.

I hope I'm wrong! I'd definitely consider buying some

hopefully you can report back with results. If they're slower than advertised but have the actual capacity that'd still be awesome!
