720p HDV is going to KILL my Server Space :(
 

700 mb for a 5 clip pantyhose video update. BLAH! Which means 1.5 Gb per model, x 40 models that I am planning on shooting this year = 60 gb. My members are worth it though, as is the Foot Fetish and Pantyhose Fetish Discipline. Fuck I love womens feet :thumbsup

hard drivers are cheap these days...
so I guess that will not be a problem...

thats small talk

Yes but it is pain in the ass when you need to backup data.

thats what i'm sayin :disgust

I've always thought that's pretty small peas but the webhosts love to gouge for drive space... Charging an absolute ass-ton for piddly-squat when I could easily mail them a 2gb HDD for $150. Makes me wonder how they try to justify their premiums.

Oops! I mean, 2tb.

There's probably no justification, apart from low margins on the base product.

It's no different to the rest of the hardware though - you're paying a fixed monthly fee perpetually even though the server hardware will be paid off within a year.

Add Raid?

I like women's feet too, digitaldivas.

Sooo once your members pay enough subscriptions that pay for that video/picture set should the content be free or discounted then?

Also your 2tb hdd is not a enterprise drive which can and will fail after being thrashed around with activity 24/7 non-stop.

So you're saying I shouldn't have the right to colo? What I'm saying is the leased model doesn't work for me because the benefit does not outweigh the cost. What does work, however, is buying a machine outright and paying for managed hosting.

If it's my hardware, and I paid for it, what's it matter? Even if I paid $309 for a 300gb SAS drive, it would be a hell of a lot better of a deal than paying the extra hundreds per month hosts want for this sort of storage.

Backup + bandwidth should be fun with that. Cant you compress it at least a little without too much distortion?

:thumbsup

If you colo your equipment you can do as you please, its not our liability for your expenses your just simply renting space/power and bandwidth from us. But as a whole as a dedicated server goes my statement applies to the above.

so your post went from how much space 720p takes up
and ended up with you saying FUCK I LOVE FEET

weLp this post wasnt creepy at all ;/

That is not a lot in the world of HD, or even SD to be honest.
Space is cheap and you can always just mirror your data to either another server or NAS/SAN

Ususlly with HD you are talking Tera Bytes in Storage for even medium sized sites :)

lmfao :thumbsup i was sad... then i was happy

Bump for you!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
