76TB?! O_O WTF you doing with this? Running a youporn mirrorserver or what?

I do video editing. Backups, files, all sorts of stuff. The second volume might be a clone of the first.

Wait, do you actually have these rigs or are they just ones that you'd want to have as an idea perfect setup.

Ideal, I would actuall redo my gaming rig in an atx case with f titan blacks and a 6 core. FULLY watercooled. I just didn't want to spend the time on frozencpu.com

Still that's overkill. We use 10TB for the server at the workingplace and that thing stores datasheeds for nuclear relay controllers which are huge. 20Gb per file. And there is no way we would ever need 76Tb 

Bye LTT. That was an interesting journey on this board. At least here you see how not to do it. I'll go shaking my head about this place.

I could see someone using 76TB's if they never deleted any files, or did some 4K Video shooting, those files can get massive.

I am think of using the second card's array as a backup for the first. I have had 3 hdd's die this year so redundancy is important. I so far have around 19tb of files for me. I would still need everyone else's files which are total around 4tb plus full nightly backups for one week per pc.

I don't do 4k. Just a TON of 1080p high bitrate. Files are around 40 mb/sec.

Ah yeah. I friend just focuses on 1080p for now, and has over 40TB's of raw footage, and 30-some TB's of edited and compressed files.

Yep. Re read my last post.

I would get 3x 1440p monitors and overclock all the comps even though that would take more time and effort lol

Would oc my gaming rig. Rest don't need it. I chose on gaming for surround over 1440p. I have better monitors on my editing rig.

I wanted a xeon and quadro for the editing rig. 

A separate gaming rig in a mitx case.

In reality I would have the gaming rig in the haf stacker and watercool everything.

Just didn't want to spend 30 minutes on frozencpu.
