ill admit it largely doesnt matter. Gotta remember, when i started datahoarding, networks were 100mbit, and my goal was not to have any local storage and have the same quality of life as if i did.

I have largely succeeded at that goal throughout the growth of my storage, starting from 5 10GB original xbox hard drives in raid0 to a proper rackmountable 4u with a 1000 dollar raid controller.

I don't even need 100mbit for what I do. But we all get weirdly fascinated with shit that really doesn't matter.

This where I was coming from. Always more room, more speed. Costing more money. We get fascinated. At some point hopefully you get a break because it's so cheap and ubiquitous. I feel cameras,sound and displays are highly tapped in that regard. You don't upgrade because you have to, you do it because you want to. Totally guilty myself :)
 
I feel so small . . . we have 3 PCs total - one with two, 1TB spinners in our work/art studio, then wife and I each have individual machines with 1 TB spinners. 8TB Western Digi SSD for backup. Wired and Wi-Fi. blahdee, blah, blah.

BLAH!

Yeah but that's all you need and you also get laid at least five times a week.

Pfft, you're not allowed to share how many innocent Americans' calls are indexed per second on your clandestine NSA servers.

I, on the other hand, have published results showing my work 10-60x faster than a Panasas-optimized storage solution. :p
