That’s “free space”. The 414 represents ~62% of my space (38% used). I’m at just under 700 for usable space. And 2 disks are out of the array at the moment because the backplane went stupid. Turns out that it’s a pain in the ass to open server chassis to replace a backplane when you have to unmount 70 disks. And I’m pretty lazy.
Damn, what sort of connection are you running? I feel like you’d be getting throttled, assuming throttling isn’t strictly illegal (side note: genuinely, thank you, People’s Republic of Massachusetts ❤️)
Fiber, 8gbps through Quantum Fiber (part of the Lumen/Centurylink family). No throttling here…
My bottleneck is the vpn that I have to have between me and the world… unfortunately. I only trust specific private trackers to not use it. I actually setup 4 seed boxes (VMs) in my garage to push more data out.
Proxmox cluster… and big storage truenas node.
And a dirty amount of networking… big cables on the right is QSFP, 40gbps 2x in lagg per server.
These pictures were just after a transplant to a new server rack. So everything is off… but the blinkin’ lights are real.
Edit:
Didn’t turn off anything before I ran these…
I’m gonna guess incremental increases over the years, and snapping up used enterprise stuff on fire sale. It’s actually pretty feasible to do if you know where to look for this stuff.
Check again…

6 x RAIDZ2 | 10 wide | 14.55 TiB
873TiB raw.
960TB raw.
This graph might be better…
lol yeah - I revised my comment from 10x to 20x after looking closer. You literally 20x’d me lol.
That is some thicc storage. Respect.
Let’s just say that I do my part seeding Linux ISOs.
~72 TB uploaded the past 30 days.
I am unfortunately the epitome of a data hoarder. I still have files that I generated/created 30 years ago…

Ngl I am quite envious. That’s awesome.
Jfc please make sure that’s hazard proof and don’t get raided. People like you legitimately make the world go round.
How do you afford all this?

Probably years of passion. Possibly a career related to this stuff.
