We backed up Spotify (metadata and music files). It’s distributed in bulk torrents (~300TB), grouped by popularity.
This release includes the largest publicly available music metadata database with 256 million tracks and 186 million unique ISRCs.
It’s the world’s first “preservation archive” for music which is fully open (meaning it can easily be mirrored by anyone with enough disk space), with 86 million music files, representing around 99.6% of listens.
Considering the Price per TB is 10-11 US dollars, it’s gonna cost $3500 max
10US dollar per TB?? 🤣🤣 More like 30/35€ per TB for a good graded HDD!
Let’s not talk about SSDs or nvme which are more in the 120€/TB.
I always hear people say that storage comes cheap nowaday… I’m still looking for that cheap HDD on amazon… It has been 10 years 🤣🤣
$10/TB is a bit low, but not far off. Serverpartdeals has refurbed enterprise/NAS drives at about $15/TB right now, and thats with the AI pressure driving up prices. I recall seeing 18TB drives around $12/TB a few months back.
The above is well loved vendor in the IT space. Much better place to buy from than Amazon, as they actually guarantee their inventory is legitimate.
US of A often has way lower hdd prices compared to Europe.
Take the serverpartdeals price and add shipping and import tax.
Is it that cheap now?? I would kill for 10tb
It’s nowhere near that cheap.
Here you go mate. They dont have 10TB in stock, but the do have 20TB refurbs at around $15/TB.
Thx

Where are you getting $430? Im seeing $306, which puts the per TB at $15.34.
A lot closer to the $10 the poster above was talking about than the $30-35 the person mocking him was saying drives cost.
Its also a refurbed drive from a well trusted, quality vendor that does testing on each drive and offers a 3 year warrenty.
You’re right, sorry, my mistake. I had the wrong currency setting.
