Thad,
Google Photos is shutting their free unlimited storage this year, what is your suggestion for the best home-server RAID?
We have a 1Gig fat pipe, can get 4 Gig if we want, so onsite raid makes sense?
Can I just build me a RAID Level 6 using 4 USB 3 drives, and connect it to something like a headless Beagle Bone AI for USB 3 to the world, with other USB connections for RAID function? So looking at 4 TB drives - 8 of them - for 16TB total storage with full backup? This would cost $90*8 in hard drives, and we'd put it in a CEB air conditioned room:) Or go to HDD drives at much lower cost.
How would you implement a 16TB web-accessible storage (pictures for collaborative video edit)?

Google Photos Closing its Free Unlimited Storage in June 1, 2021

Just in the nick of time to upload OSE footage. What do you expect - Google does not have a revenue model for free photos storage at high quality.

This means that OSE would need to set up its own photo server, with additional costs as a result.

Cost of memory:

  • HDD - 8TB = $144 [1]
  • HDD 4TB - $55 - [2]
  • Note compared to server prices: payback time for hot storage (16TB = $440 RAID 6) is a little over a month!
  • For a 1 Gb internet line - could serve 20 50Mb/sec connections at one time - probably enough for 100Gb (~10GB) projects - 2000 seconds or 33 minutes to download 10GB.

2021

  • 81 cents/TB/mo for cold storage but $18/TB/mo for hot storage. [3] - or about $3 or $72 for 4 TB/month.
  • $23/Tb/month on Amazon S3 [4]
  • $1-2/TB/month on Sia, a decentralized, blockchain-based cloud storage platform [5]

Thad,

Google Photos is shutting their free unlimited storage this year, what is your suggestion for the best home-server RAID?

We have a 1Gig fat pipe, can get 4 Gig if we want, so onsite raid makes sense?

Can I just build me a RAID Level 6 using 4 USB 3 drives, and connect it to something like a headless Beagle Bone AI for USB 3 to the world, with other USB connections for RAID function? So looking at 4 TB drives - 8 of them - for 16TB total storage with full backup? This would cost $90*8 in hard drives, and we'd put it in a CEB air conditioned room:) Or go to HDD drives at much lower cost.

How would you implement a 16TB web-accessible storage (pictures for collaborative video edit)?
