[3dem] Data storage system

[Matthias Wolf]

Hi Krishan,

Our 60-drive 760 TB FreeNAS has been running flawless since more than 1 year. One failed drive was easily hot swapped. If you want capacity, this does not cost more  per TB than inferior hardware, yet you get good redundancy and performance.

See my old tweet here https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://twitter.com/hicryoem/status/1223966559976083458?s=21__;!!Mih3wA!TpItSV7E6sE1qSO0JgCwUfuLYuNhW92PMSZUaIF70zdj2z4BE_zg2izktUsKL5clRQ$

Subject: [3dem] Data storage system

Hello,

I am requesting suggestions and cost estimates about off the shelf data storage systems to store raw cryo-EM movies and processed data for our lab. Our initial target is 150-200 TB with options to expand it in future.
We don't have much local IT support for Linux based systems, that's why I am asking for an off-the shelf system which should be easier to install and manage.

Thank you
best regards

Krishan Pandey
