minus-squareJasonDJ@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·edit-26 days agoThis is for cold and archival storage right? I couldn’t imagine seek times on any disk that large. Or rebuild times…yikes.
minus-squarericecake@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·6 days agoDefinitely not for either of those. Can get way better density from magnetic tape. They say they got the increased capacity by increasing storage density, so the head shouldn’t have to move much further to read data. You’ll get further putting a cache drive in front of your HDD regardless, so it’s vaguely moot.
