https://www.backblaze.com/blog/open-source-data-storage-serv... ; it's what I use to keep anything in cold storage that can't immediately go into the Internet Archive or that they're unable to dark after I upload.

Wait so you bought a $10k 60 disk storage platform? Or built one?

Built (several). My background in tech is ops/infrastructure/networking/devops.

That's awesome. I would like to build something similar, though maybe scaled down to 1/2 size/capacity. Did you follow their parts list exactly or deviate (e.g. what did you use for chassis since theirs is custom)?

FWIW, in addition to their awesome disk stats Backblaze also provides blueprints for their chassis as well as a BOM for the parts inside

Wow, I had no idea they did that. I definitely have a new respect for them.

What does "dark" mean in this context?

Publishing of content that would cause legal or other harm to the Internet Archive. It’s still stored on disk, but not accessible.

To clarify, to “dark” an object is to make it unavailable but continue to store it.
