This is just awesome.

Notwithstanding the great NAS he builds - I'd love to have that workshop!
The guy has a site with more modding awesomeness.

I've found out that to be true regarding data storage. there's no such thing as enough space.

16TB would be enough for me...
defragTime = 3 million years
virusScanTime(deviceFullyloaded) = 7.2 light years
Time enough for a cup of tea (or two) and a biscuit.
MTBF = Every 3 minutes (especially with that Perspex cover and the static created by that large F-off fan, as soon as he pops the kettle on in the room he uses it in, it will start sucking in small third world countries)
(Using Raid 5 configuration, he is only actually getting about 14T of capacity though, hardly worth making a video over.)
Who the hell has all that kit in one workshop (and it all looked so clean)
I am bitter because life made me that way.

16TB sounds like a lot now. but if I were to put my current 70 bluray movies on it for example, that would take 70x50gigs = 3.5TB already. and 70 movies isn't that much. (I've got hundreds of dvds, and by the rate I'm getting blurays they'll outnumber the dvds in 3-4 years.) and that's only one thing.

I don't even have a TB of total space over 3 computers... Only if I reckon in my externals do I get there.
I used to hoard movies, music, software and miscellaneous content, but these days I rarely even plug in the external HDD to listen to music.
I also find it strange that people own movies. Do you watch them over and over? I can't fit my head around it. The only movies I have on disc are for the kids.
