gollark: Why do you *have* 11 copies of the same data on disks in the same place, anyway? Weird way to do backups.
gollark: Oh, the SSDs are probably sensible then.
gollark: It might be more if you buy enterprise ones instead of random consumer ones.
gollark: I don't think it works out in favour of SSDs unless you anticipate them saving you issues about three times.
gollark: You mentioned valuing your time at $200/hour earlier. This is about 44TB of storage, assuming it's all 4TB disks. That costs about $4400 (for flash) based on my rough knowledge of pricing.
