2nd millennium mechanical storage? How about magnetic tape and paper punch cards?
The same amount in SSDs, the cheapest and worst type, would be 7-8x more and getting them to run in the form I need would probably cost another $1-2000 on top for a rig to operate them. It's all backed up so it don't matter if it croaks but I've only ever had one mechanical HDD fail and that was after 12 years. I'll take them odds.

more or less the same here. just never power mechanical drives off and they last so long they are pretty much useless capacity wise at that point even though theyre still going.

It’s not a secular bear market. Its a secular bull market with a local top. It’s unreasonable to expect the price to continue to go up as the halvening hype fades. And it will take some time for the supply side constraints to start to bite.
That explains everything. Buying support is not keeping up. Unsustainable.... etc etc.. Hopefully, you are not leaning too much on that theory - just in case. Edit:I see that you, hairybairie, largely answered my last question (regarding your preparedness for either BTC price direction) in your above post (two posts above this one). Quite... am happily prepared for movements in any direction. Hope for the best and plan for the worst, et al.

The same amount in SSDs, the cheapest and worst type, would be 7-8x more and getting them to run in the form I need would probably cost another $1-2000 on top for a rig to operate them. It's all backed up so it don't matter if it croaks but I've only ever had one mechanical HDD fail and that was after 12 years. I'll take them odds. I'll confess to a little hyperbole. If you don't move your HDDs, mount them with rubber grommets and use an UPS, they should last a long time. You're lucky to have avoided failure that long though. Of course thorough backups are a must but some sort of redundancy is a good idea... RAID-5? The days of RAID-0 are long gone. Speaking of HDD failure, my first RAID-0 array was 4 IBM 75GXP "Deathstars". I was so proud of my blazing fast third-of-a-terabyte C: drive until I started reading stories about those HDDs failing left and right. Never did have one fail though until I replaced the array with Raptors. Ended up using the IBMs to upgrade other people's old machines with <10GB HDDs. Never heard of one of them failing either. Once I replaced my Raptors with Vertex, I never looked back. Pissed me off to have the array bottlenecked by the southbridge but soon fixed that with a PCIe RAID card. Next step was the OCZ PCIe Revodrive series and now of course it's NVMe. Gotta move with the times. Still have a drawer full of old HDDs in the 100GB-4TB range but they're pretty much just archives and backup. Now I have a couple of 2TB SSDs for onboard data storage (besides the C: drive) in my main PC and a few more in external enclosures in my laptop bag. Every now and then I haul out the old HDDs and copy over a few terabytes of movies onto the externals. That's the big problem now... how long it takes to copy multiple terabytes via USB3. eSATA ain't much better. _____ P.S. All this talk of storage has me thinking that we all owe a little thanks to Joe Breher for his work in making these storage technologies possible. Many people here see him as an argumentative pro-BSV "troll". He's a lot more than that. Thanks Joe.

Elon Musk is selling his two houses (worth about $40 mil in total) and saying, ostensibly, that he would have "no possessions" because:
1. he thinks that we are at a RE top 2. he became a "revolutionary" [after mouthing off something something about "fascists"] 3. he is moving to China 4. he is selling TSLA to some Middle Eastern sheiks and would move there (Dubai?) 5. he is moving to Mars 6. he merged with AI and is about to control us all 7. he is having a midlife crisis 8. he is using RE sales to fund his BTC purchases.
What's it going to be? Please come up with %% of probability if you like.

Great indications of a great bullish event that can happen very soon. Last week, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) flipped bullish on Bitcoin’s one-week chart, suggesting a medium-term bull rally ahead. In 2017, the indicator flipped green at $2,000 to mark the start of a 1,000% rally to $20,000. At the start of 2019, Bitcoin rallied 300% when the indicator trended green in January. And just recently, it flipped green prior to BTC rallying from $8,000 to $10,500. Source: https://www.newsbtc.com/2020/05/05/3-glaring-signs-that-show-bitcoin-rocket-past-10000-coming-week/

You guys with your stacked terabyte HDD’s. I’ll stick to the 1.44 MB not so floppy disks, conveniently strung together with a little help of ARJ. Even has a read only switch for eternal storage. Who needs blockchains.
