Most and best way to store massive fast data at a budget of $5000. Impress us!
As many Samsung t5 ssd’s as possible
How fast is fast? SSD fast? 7200RPM HDD fast? Whats your use case? You (generally) get to pick two.
- Massive amounts of Storage
- Fast storage
- Reasonable Budget
Us = the community :) the two I pick is massive amounts of storage and fast storage with budget of $5000
Not for business, just imagine a lot of porn
$2000 - 45 Drives HL15 case, motherboard, etc
$2000 - 6x22 TB WD Red (or whatever size you can get after black friday)
$1000 - 5x4 TB SATA SSD of your choosing
132 TB of HDD storage (raw) + 20TB of SSD storage (raw) delivered over SFP or 10GBe
What is massive?
At least 8 inches

Assuming you have unlimited power and noise tolerance
I would start with a used dell 720xd for $350 and then fill it up with drives. If you need more add jbods
SSD’s are fast and quite. Check my profile posts. I sell Samsung 8TB for good prices.
Don’t leave us hanging! They’re quite what?
They’re quite awesome and quiet. Lol
Okay lets say you go the prosumer approach:
1x QNAP QuTS hero TS-h973AX-32G ~ 1300€ each
2x Samsung OEM Datacenter SSD PM9A3 15.36TB, U.2 ~ 1400€ each
3x Toshiba Cloud-Scale Capacity MG10ACA 20TB, SATA 6Gb/s ~ 300€ each
Right at 5k and you get 15TB NVME RAID1 (mirror) and 40TB HDD RAID5 (parity). Without mirror/parity it is 30TB NVME and 60TB HDD raw space.
Thanks :) best answer!
PCSP has a deal on a 2x 20 core 256gb workstation right now for $800.
1 4tb ssd Rest in HDDs
