I bought a 16TB disk just before the tests started und was thinking about buying another one after it filled within 2 weeks. But then I thought “hold back and wait until one of the big customers signed”. And oh boy was I right to hesitate. I have now a total capacity of 34TB of which 8.4TB are real data, 2.4TB in trash and **23.44TB uncollected garbage** 😵
