>>119589Mine were about 9 years old before they started dying and getting bad discoloration and scanlines. I transported them to and from collage every year though so they held up well all things considered.
I probably won't replace my current monitors until I can get 4k 144Hz ones for a reasonable price.

Accidently smacked my monitor with my keyboard(I use a laptop and desktop with not a ton of space) and it left these marks for a 5 min, but cleared up. But the screen responds a lot to touch pressure, leaving temporary marks, and I think one day it will burn or similar when the LCD juices get less fresh

>>119613My mother once soft-killed one of my monitors by watering a flower directly above it.
After the monitor had turned dark, she calmly sought me out in the garden and told me about the event. It was me who actually pulled the plug.
It was never the same again after that.

>>120350If it's something that you want to preserve for a long time, but might not necessarily need to access very often, the answer is cold storage. Basically, that means taking making a backup of those files and then putting them onto a drive or a disc. If you really care about them you would make two copies: one to keep at home, and another "off-site", to store somewhere like a bank safety deposit box.
If you need to access the files with some regularity, the answer is generally a NAS. There's NAS manufacturers if you want something put-together. Synology and QNAP are the two leading brands in that area. You don't need to go out and buy a custom system though. If you want to, you can just build a budget PC and put drives into it, and then install a NAS management OS like TrueNAS or Unraid. That said, "RAID is not a backup!". It's a system for fault tolerance so a single or multiple drive failures without losing all of the data. Basically, you would select the RAID level that is most suitable for your level of fault tolerance (how much you care about the data), how much performance you want, and how much you care about storage efficiency. You can't really have all three. RAID0 is no fault tolerance, high speed, and high storage efficiency. RAID1 is high fault tolerance, and high speed, but poor storage efficiency. RAID5 is decent fault tolerance, but poorer speed, and decent storage efficiency. RAID6 is better fault tolerance, but poorer speed, and worsened storage efficiency. There's also RAIDz, which is essentially the same RAID levels, but using the ZFS filesystem on something like TrueNAS. RAIDz1 is RAID1, RAIDz2 is RAID5, and RAIDz3 is RAID6.

>>120350for this company server I set up it has 2TB of RAID5(so 3 960GB drives) and backups of the 2TB are made onto a 2TB flash drive plugged into the server. I believe it has cloud backups as well to azure.
No.120356
so anyways, to set up software RAID5 I think you can probably get it to copy your existing data into the array through some steps.
https://www.tomshardware.com/news/how-to-set-up-raid-windows-10,36783.htmlFor 64TB you need 32TB*3 to get RAID5. If one of the drive fails the others will still function but your computer won't go to operating system without recovery. Or Windows should tell you a drive failed. Never had to deal with it
No.120359
from the looks of it it's a major hastle to go from a No-RAID(this is different from RAID0 btw) setup into RAID5.
So you might consider a service like dropbox, or if you're afraid of ToS violations then an NAS is a pretty cool option, but you could just plug an external harddrive into a random computer you have and setup network uploads into it. In any case, to get automatic drive fail saftey then you'll need a way to put all your data onto an empty space and reupload it.
No.120364
actually, wtf are you even talking about with wanting 64TB of HDD... we're going to have to start going into obscure sorts of RAID configurations if you want that to even be possible with current hardware limitations. Most practical is going to be 44TB from 3x 22TB on RAID5

>>120364Larger hard drives are more failure prone, and take much longer to recover if one fails. It's better to use smaller hard drives and more of them. Personally, I think 12TB is probably the sweet spot.
