    Why on earth do you need so much SSD storage. Are you running a data center at home?

      I use it to host:

      - Movies/TV

      - File sync

      - Game servers (e.g. Minecraft)

      - S3

      - CI/CD

      - All of my projects on https://github.com/shepherdjerred/monorepo

      In the past I would use AWS, CloudFlare Workers, etc. but now all of my compute/storage is local (except remote backups)

      The SATA drives are in RAID5 so it is less usable space, too. I have actually ran out of space in the past.

      It’s definitely, like, sysadmin LARP, but it has taught me a _lot_ over the last decade or so. The ROI is definitely there considering it helps me be better at my job.

    I appreciate the joke :) .

    And I wonder when buying a new PC will be possible again. I postponed it when I saw the price of RAM.
