360TB of Hard Drive GOLD! Filling up the 45HomeLab HL15 with 24TB WD HDDs

When we completed the initial review of the Hl15, the team got a little distracted and ended up juicing the CPU, adding an A4000 and tossing in excessive flash storage for no particular reason. This time we're taking a more sane storage focus - dropping in 360TB of WD Gold HDDs. The new 24TB drives are 10-platter CMR drives that actually take a little less power than the 22TB drives, while also chipping in a hair better performance. The full review is linked below, this video goes over hte unboxing and some of the WD highlights.

Too bad I can't focus more than 4seconds on what he says with that background music taking so much space even while he's speaking

[@DeathbyKillerBong]

when moving one of those boxes with *ibm gxp like 200gb drives back in the day, the seem split and they all fell out from desk hight down to the floor... only 2 of them survived.

[@StorageReview]

funny - today all of them would probably make it, oh and one of these hold a cse of those 200s.

[@DearSX]

Really cool! Almost wish I needed that much space. 100TB R740 is plenty for now.

[@StorageReview]

We found the one guy on our channel who doesn't need more storage. Wow!

Nowadays, half of the answers you'd get are people telling what you're trying to do is a terrible idea and the other half is people telling you have the wrong hardware.

Damn awful background racket is like nails on a chalkboard . I stopped watching at 21 seconds today

@@StorageReview awesome. Thanks.

Yeah, I'm not alone!

[@computersales]

I agree not a fan of the music. Maybe have a video game streaming in the corner if people aren't paying enough attention. 😂
