I have my LG BP50NB40 blu-ray burner set up. I'm using it to make long-term data archives. I'm offloading "unlikely to access" data that I am not ready to delete.

It's kind of a blast from the past to wait for 30 or 40 minutes disc burns. But hey, they are supposed to last 100 years. #datahoarder

SMR hard drives are stupid as hell, at least the desktop "expansion" ones from #Seagate. Two transfers taking place; one to my server (top) and one to a USB connected 8 TB Seagate expansion drive (bottom).

It's blazing fast as long as you don't fill its cache. I can copy 4 GB DVD images basically instantly, but they just go to the cache and then get flushed to the drive. If you try copying anything large though, such as you might want to do for a backup drive, it shits the bed.

#DataHoarder

The top network transfer is running at 107.1 MB/s.

The bottom USB transfer is running at 30.9 MB/s.

This image is a screenshot of the "Properties" window for a local disk in the Windows operating system.

The window is titled **"PublicInfoArchive (F:) Properties"**. The **"General"** tab is selected.

The contents of the "General" tab show:
* **Drive Label:** PublicInfoArchive
* **Type:** Local Disk
* **File system:** NTFS

A circular donut chart in the center, labeled "Drive F:", visually represents the disk space. It is almost entirely blue, indicating the drive is nearly full.

The storage statistics are listed as:
* **Used space:** "working..." and **100 TB**
* **Free space:** 1,410,437,091,328 bytes (which is **1.28 TB**)
* **Capacity:** "working..." and **101 TB**

The text "working..." next to "Used space" and "Capacity" suggests the system is still calculating the exact values.

Below the storage information, there is a "Disk Cleanup" button.

At the bottom are two checkboxes, both of which are **unchecked**:
* "Compress this drive to save disk space"
* "Allow files on this drive to have contents indexed in addition to file properties"

The window concludes with three buttons at the very bottom: "OK", "Cancel", and a grayed-out "Apply" button.

Is it bad to have a slightly older drive in a RAID 5 array?

This is extremely sad y'all. ZERO seeding going on from the SciOp / public data / antifa torrent server. Have a few spare gigs? Even that's something, please help preserve data the fascists are destroying!

All torrents in the list are 100% complete and are in a "Seeding" state, meaning the user is sharing the files with others. The "Down Speed" and "Up Speed" columns all read "0 B/s", indicating no active transfers at the moment the screenshot was taken.

The torrents listed are very large datasets, many appearing to be scientific or academic in nature. Here are the first few items in the list:

Name: ExtremeWeather_a large-scale climate dataset

Size: 1.503 TiB

Status: Seeding

Uploaded: 1.229 TiB

Name: SDF

Size: 1.107 TiB

Status: [F] Seeding

Uploaded: 9.91 GiB

Name: ASN

Size: 1.107 TiB

Status: [F] Seeding

Uploaded: 49.43 GiB

Name: trump protest jan 06 2021

Uploaded: 18.78 GiB

Name: land-normalized-difference-vegetation-index

Size: 1,001.50...

Status: Seeding

Uploaded: 1.03 GiB

Other notable names in the list include biorxiv_2023, biorxiv_2021, biodiversity-library-org, National-Archives, and hydrological-properties, all with sizes in the hundreds of Gigibytes (GiB) or over a Tebibyte (TiB).

I've run my own mail server for decades, and due to a mix of unfortunate circumstances, bad choices and no backups, I have now lost those decades of email. Of course it's annoying to have lost recent mails, mostly because I run a business and need things like invoices and shit for my accounting. But it's also weird to have lost the archive. Messages to old friends and girlfriends. Weird blind dates. Friends saying hi. My first emails with my wife. People sending me photos. All gone. It fucking sucks. Or maybe it's a fresh start. I'm not sure.

How about you? Do you keep emails around for ages? If so, why? Time capsule? Weird obsession?

Can anyone recommend a somewhat detailed resource on failures of hard drives used for low-intensity storage?

I know there's lots of individual variation, but interested in statistics, and/or theory.

For example, are failures a product of spinning time, or power-on time, or spin-up cycles, or just age, or a combination of those?

If I let a drive sit turned off and plug it in once a month, is it statistically going to last longer than a drive that's on the whole time? What if I plug it in once a year? Is there a risk of motors seizing from disuse, or is it negligible?

I know of Backblaze's drive stats, but their use profile is constant-on, whereas I'm looking for a lukewarm storage and a cold storage for back-ups.

Update on the public information archival server:

I just added the most recent torrents from SciOp. The older torrents seem fairly dormant, I have not seen them seeding. That said, there are constantly folks downloading 24/7 from around the world!!

This is a screenshot of a computer desktop with a dark theme and magenta text.

The main window is the qBittorrent client, actively downloading dozens of large files at a combined speed of 35.3 MB/s. The files appear to be large archives, with names like "fema_gbsm_bust" and "2002".

A smaller window in the foreground shows the properties of a hard drive named "PublicInfoArchive (F:)". It reveals the drive has a massive 101 TB capacity and is almost full, with 99.6 TB used and only 2.17 TB of free space remaining. A pie chart visually confirms the drive's status. The scene suggests a very large data archival project is underway.

I'm in need of a digital Marie Kondo (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marie_Kondo) like application for Linux.

Something that helps with cleaning up a hard drive with too many files.

It should be able to de-duplicate data, sort by mime-type/size/creation etc.

Bonus points if it asks: "does this data spark joy" 😜

Any tips?
