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

20tb vs 22tb (alien.top)

Black friday time I buy a hdd.

Now I'm torn between a 20tb at about 17+/tb or pay more per tb and get a 22tb and also feature it in a YouTube video (I do YouTube).

Feels like price difference is between 350 and 450 approx. So the 20 is a better deal but would be nice to try a 22tb.

Also space is important so going for the bigger sizes is the reason for me but this here is only a 2tb difference.

What do you think? 22tb or 20tb hdd?

$100 is not worth for extra 2tb.

No speed differences in real world usage between 16, 18 or 20tb exos. Don't know about 22tb but it should be similar to 20tb.
