happy to see i'm not the only one packing 2+ TBs of storage. alot of people asked me why i need so much, so i was curious as to how on par i was with others.

We can't Benchmark like we used to, but we have our ways. One trick is to shove more GPUs in your computer. Like the time I needed to NV-Link, because I needed a higher HeavenBench score, so I did an SLI, which is what they called NV-Link back in the day. So, I decided to put two GPUs in my computer, which was the style at the time. Now, to add another GPU to your computer, costs a new PSU. Now in those days PSUs said OCZ on them, "Gimme 750W OCZs for an SLI" you'd say. Now where were we? Oh yeah, the important thing was that I had two GPUs in my rig, which was the style at the time! They didn't have RGB PSUs at the time, because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big green ones.

3TB. Unlikely to upgrade unless because of failure. For more storage a NAS would make more sense.

My local storage:

1x Samsung 840 Evo 250 GB SSD (Boot Drive)

2x 1 TB WD Black

1x 750 GB WD Black

1x 3TB WD Red

 

Local storage is just various drives I accumulated over time.

 

Network storage:

12x 6TB WD Red

My NAS was much more deliberate.  12x 6TB drives in a ZFS pool. (Two 6 drive raidz2 vdevs striped together, effectively a software RAID 6+0)
