Absolutely. They’re advertised for being used in datecenters, so I assume noise optimization wasn’t a concern for Seagate when creating those drives.
Somewhere between Linux woes, gaming, open source, 3D printing, recreational coding, and occasional ranting.

Sorry, I can’t hear you under my enormous piles of money! 🙃
But yeah. You should do an SSD-only setup if this is within your budget. I assume that for most of us selfhosting is just some soft of hobby. If you’re willing to spend money on the latest and cooles tech: do it. If not, then it’s fine, too.
Okay, so … then maybe really look into the Seagate Exos drives. 20 TB should be pretty much fine for most selfhosting adventures.
I’m looking for something from 4TB upwards.
If you say “harddrive” … do you mean actual harddrives or are you using it synonymous with “storage”? If you really talk about actual harddrives, it’s hard to even find datacenter/server harddrives below 4 TB. Usually server HDDs start with 8 or 12 TB. You can even find HDDs with 20 TB - Seagate Exos series for example, starting at around 360 Euros (ca. 400 USD).
If you’re in for a general storage, preferably SSD, that’s another issue. There is the Samsung 870 QVO (8 TB) SSD that is often advertised as “datacenter SSD” (so I assume it would run well in a server that is active 24/7), but it is currently available with a maximum of 8 TB. The 870 QVO is at ca. 70 Euros per terabyte (ca. 77 USD) which, in my experience, is the current price range for SSDs. So it has a high price seen from the outside but it’s actually fine. It’s also a one-time investment.
For selfhosting I’d go with an SSD-only setup.
do any have particularly good or bad reputation?
From personal experience I’d say, stick with the “larger” brands like Samsung or Seagate.

Use XMPP. Thanks to Let’s Encrypt being implemented in basically every reverse proxy, setting it up is a matter of seconds.
Make sure that, whatever switch you want to get, the switch supports simulating output (edit simulation/storing) and USB devices. Otherwise every switching action would cause disconnect and connect actions on the hosts.
Organic Maps allows mapping, too.
That means that Google does not have correct data on bike lanes.
I only used communities that were on the top 35 active instances for the past month and limited the comments to go back to a maximum of August 1 2024
So it’s a map of the top 35 instances for the last month instead of a map of Lemmy.
You host it locally and use a web browser to access it.
No, they don’t.
As of December 31, 2023, [Wikimedia has] annual revenues of $180.2 million, […] net assets of $255 million and a growing endowment, which surpassed $100 million in June 2021.
Threads has about 200 million monthly users, 33 million daily users. The fediverse has just under 1 million monthly users. Do you really think that 0.5% has any relevance to Meta?
Do you really think they would care about those users when they extend and extinguish the Fediverse?
Everyone can break into my house regardless of having a key or not. I still don’t have my key delivered to them.
A

Daily reminder to defederate from and block threads.net
(and optionally all instances that do not do the same).
And why should an American cooperation care about that? They can basically do whatever they want without ever having to fear any consequences.
Remember, when they simply restored accounts, posts, and subreddits that were deleted during the API protests?
I remember ZoneMinder.
A full-featured, open source, state-of-the-art video surveillance software system.
Is this still a thing nowadays?
For me personally: Triton. I remember reading it 25+ years ago. I really had to fight through it, after circa half of it I put it away and never touched it again.
So remarkably not my favorite book that I still feel the exhaustion when thinking about it.
