That's a lot of porn. And possibly other stuff, too.
It isn't as much as you think, high resolution, high bitrate video files are pretty large.

Seems fine with a couple TB of SSDs to act as active storage with regular rsyncs back to the HDDs. This is fine.
The first copy of anything big will suck ass.... and why else would you get a 36TB drive if not to copy a lot of data to it?
Does it really matter that much if the first copy takes a while though? Only doing it once and you don't even have to do it all in 1 go. Just let it run over the weekend would do though.

Oh definitely, game sizes are getting extreme and I prefer smaller indie games now 🥲

Pretty sure I had a bigger hard drive than that for my Amiga. You could have broken a toe if you’d dropped it.

I wanna fuck this HDD. To have that much storage on one drive when I currently have ~30TB shared between 20 drives makes me very erect.

Ain't nothing about me is average except for the size of my cock.

Makes me shudder. I have to replace a drive in my array, because it is degraded. It's a 4TB. Imagine having to replace one of these. I'd much rather have a bunch of cheaper drives, even if they are a bit more expensive per TB, because the replacement cost will eventually make the total cost of ownership lower.
Also, repeat with me: "Please give me a Toshiba or Hitachi, please"
Until you run out of ports or cage space 😂

Well, largest this week. And
Yeah, $800 isn’t a small chunk of change, but for a hard drive of this capacity, it’s monumentally cheap.
Nah, a 24TB is $300 and some 20TB's are even lower $ per TB.

It will take about 36 hours to fill this drive at 270mb/s
That’s a long time to backup your giraffe porn collection.
