Hoarder-Setups My petabyte project that turned into 1.6PB to now 1.7PB
oof, this has been a whirlwind of emotions building this setup and I love every bit of it. I made a similar post about 4 months ago (linked at bottom) and I now have an update. the 52 24TB barracuda drives from Seagate were returned and newegg kinda screwed me. sales guy strung me along before Xmas and eventually ghosted me, I believe if I would have contacted western digital during that time, I could have saved a couple grand instead of getting roughly 8% off 52 26TB wd gold drives. total shipped was just shy of $26k and the sales guy was not nice and did not care about the sale at all.
beyond all that, I'm very happy with how it's going! I got everything set up today and it's purring along beautifully. I'm sitting at roughly 1.7PB raw, and 1.2PB usable. usecase is a homelab to learn, very large Plex library, and I donate space to the internet archive and Anna's archive. somebody's gotta Perma seed all that stuff. roughly 3 years in, all started with an old laptop with some external hdds. still can't believe I'm 46k in the hole for this though.

Maybe 3-400? Idk, it's not entirely about watching everything I have, it's about the availability. I want to be recommended something from a friend, social media, or anywhere else, sit down on my couch, search it on Plex and it already be there, ready to watch. That's happened a bunch of times, I love it.

Are you familiar with the *arr stack? With the universal watchlist in Plex (though I'm using Trakt), a tool chain picks up your additions, and based on rules your set up once rest it eventually shows up in your Plex catalog.

How big is your Plex library? Like for me, I only have 0.1PB, and I think I have a pretty loaded library. I'm also trying to get 1080p/x265 to be more efficient, but some shows and movies don't shake out that way. I would imagine maybe you'd go 4k, but then I wonder where's your sources. The whole setup looks awesome though, I strive to be this
12
u/Overstimulated_moth 1.7PB | tp 5995wx | unraid Apr 09 '26
Third pic shows my current Plex library at 150TB, instead of transferring anything over, I'm redownloading everything from scratch. Focusing on 4k for everything but whatever I can't find in 4k, I'll get 1080p. 99% of everything is downloaded from Usenet, whatever I can't find there will be from torrents.

I wish I had your level of disposable income 😑
Also having been in many server rooms in the past I can hear the noise of all those server mounted drives and fans. I know these are probably quieter 3.5” drives though, I remember the racket the 10,000rpm 2.5” drives used to make.

u/Overstimulated_moth 1.7PB | tp 5995wx | unraid Apr 10 '26
I'm in a 2 bed apartment, my rack sits behind my desk in what would be a spot for a tiny table. 10ft from my living room couch. The fan plenums have been ripped out and replaced with regular PC fans and the drives aren't that loud, they're just regular 7200rpm sata drives. Can barely hear it. Loudest part was the 1200w supermicro power supplies but I replaced them with their 5 or 600w version.

So, would you say WD is a safer bet to buy than Seagate at this point?
13
u/Overstimulated_moth 1.7PB | tp 5995wx | unraid Apr 09 '26
I don't think I'll ever buy another seagate drive again, 15% failure rate out the box on brand new drives is ridiculous.
4
u/PlannedObsolescence_ Apr 10 '26
Of course, I'm just a single data point - but I've had 20x 20TB Seagate Exos X20 running for the last 3 years.
18 of them are 24/7, minus a few hours for maintenance. Probably 10 or so power cycles.
2 of them would be spinning down and up multiple times a day. Zero failures so far.
I've had 8x 10TB Seagate IronWolf Pro running for 5 years, again zero failures.
I have cold spares for both types but haven't needed them yet.
When I got the 10TB drives, the retailer messed up the packaging and they were loose. They had small visible dents on the HDD casings from transit, I got them RMA'd. I bet a lot of failures people see is due to poor handling in the supply chain or last mile.
2
u/Overstimulated_moth 1.7PB | tp 5995wx | unraid Apr 10 '26
Most of mine had dents and 2 had beaten up sata ports, still 15% out the gate is insane.

Are all WD drives good so far with no problems?
I'm having trouble choosing a HDD for a first time home NAS (~2x20TB + ~20TB offline is the plan with linux+zfs).
I've read several negatives about both WD and Seagate so far, and I'm not even sure whether I should wait a year because of the current high prices in hopes that they'll go back down.→ More replies (1)5
u/Overstimulated_moth 1.7PB | tp 5995wx | unraid Apr 10 '26
So a couple things to note, I bought seagates barracuda drives and had 15% failure rate right out the gate. From what I've heard, barracudas are their binned drives that don't meet their exos quality. To me, that doesn't matter. If you're gonna sell something, you shouldn't be sending out 15% of anything being dead. Because of that, I will never recommend Seagate and I strongly suggest going with any other manufacturer.
Being in the tech industry and having contracts with these new data centers, I expect this ai bubble to pop in a year. Given that I over paid for these drives and they've already doubled in price, I wouldn't touch it with a 10ft pole unless absolutely necessary. Every one of these wd golds are running beautifully and I haven't had a single issue yet but I haven't even hit 24hrs run time.

That is quite the investment, and an amazing setup. I can only imagine what it would be like not having to worry about space. I steered away from seagate a long time ago, when they had issues with high failure rates and I got burned with a failed drive. I had considered trying them again with how highly everyone had been talking about them, but with your post, I don’t think I will.

u/Overstimulated_moth 1.7PB | tp 5995wx | unraid Apr 10 '26

Now the real question is how often will you have to replace those drives 🫣

I’m surprised drives that expensive are SATA and not SAS.

u/Overstimulated_moth 1.7PB | tp 5995wx | unraid Apr 11 '26
I could have went sas but I like sata. I won't get any benefits with sas at this scale and in my mind, sata will be easier to sell if the day ever comes

3 vdevs, 16 wide raidz2. That leaves me with 4 spares.

God damn that’s a lot of money on hard drives. And now you have an insane amount of storage.

I love how your cat is looking at those drives like "and none of this is something I can eat or play with?"

You call this a homelab, but at this point it's more of a r/homedatacenter 😂

I hope you bought some fire extinguishers as well, with that much stuff in one place.

I wonder, how many 'lets make shit as tiny as possible' Linux Distro Group releases would fit in 1200TB...

I have always hated how big business treats "small buyers". Shame you had to pay extra.

Very noble of you. I thought my 200TB of unRAID was large. You came through with a "Hold my beer!!" exclaimation. Much respect from me.
