I.T. for a transport company -

Added another disk shelf to our CCTV server - this is an extra 60TB (bought 1 drive a few days ago to test compatibility) on top of the current 150TB or so (which is all currently made up of 3TB and 4TB drives).
Over the next 6 months will be looking to replace all the smaller drives with 10TB drives, so will be around 0.5PB of storage

Wow! Must be high def I guess? Interesting stuff

That's a lot of space

What do you do for work?

He’s a hard drive collector.

Currently around 80 1080P cameras, with a couple of 4K cameras, but will be getting more 4K ones going forward.
Main Issue is data retention - we store around 6 months worth of footage to cover ourselves against claims etc.

Work related, but largest amount of storage I've bought in a while

Wow! That’s some porn collection you must have!

Some PS4 games and some new shoes.

It's probably bad luck to have shoes on the table or something. Oh well

Finally gone clipless (why do they call them clipless when you have to clip them in?)

They look like special shoes

They don't have clips. They have cleats.

Been a while since buying anything tech related! Last PC related purchase was a 1080 when it launched.

After landing a job where I'll be working away Sunday to Thursday I wanted a gaming laptop to occupy me in the evenings. Originally I went for an Asus GX501 due to a deal but cancelled, deciding instead I wanted something more subtle that I could use in work. Plus coming from a MacBook Pro Retina (Early 2015) as I've never needed portable gaming before, I wanted top notch construction.

So.. My Razer Blade 15 (9750h, 2070 MaxQ, 240hz) arrived yesterday. Pricey (All in with upgrades, £2700) but feel I made the right decision now I have it in hand.

Also purchased a 2TB Corsair MP510 NVME and 32GB of Corsair Vengeance to upgrade, plus a Matte Dbrand skin.

It was advertised as having ball bearing runners - I think I live in the past as I thought ball bearing in a cage - smooth and silent.

These are just the same runners as I have on a bedroom chest of drawers - The bearings sit in a channel.

It's no Snap- On but as I am using it purely for storage to keep all my car type tools in one place it will serve me fine - if you use it day in day out spend more money.

Also glad I picked 7 drawer against the 4 drawer - There would have been wasted space in the deeper drawers so you would tend to stack stuff.

By the way this is a roller chest but will use the casters for something else and the handle for a towel rail.
