PC hdd storage on the truck?

Your... collection must be 8k 3d I guess. Personally id advise simply buying much higher capacity M.2 or ssd drives

What total capacity are you hunting for?

 

SSD’s would stand up to the abuse of the road better.
Actual hard drives would be okay as long as you powered them down while you’re going down the highway. The bounces and vibration of the truck could cause the drives heads to crash into the platters and ruin your data.
Hard drives designed for laptops maybe the best if you’re going to use actual hard drives.

 

Fair enough, i just dont think your use case makes any sense, but since youve invested heavily in that, here is my suggestion, its pricey I know, but it will be WAY better than spinning platter hdd in a truck.

Drop 10,000-15000 on setting up a computer with full vibration resistance and install sabrent rocket 4 --- 8 gb nvme drives (roughly 1200$ each.) you can use your pci express slots to add nvme slots if the motherboard you choose doesnt have enough.

This seems unwise in the extreme. Go without your entire media collection, or compress/shed unneccessary items till it fits a reasonable 1 or 2 TB. Planning will help, data hoarding makes no sense, or if you ABSOLUTELY cant be without, set it up as an accessible server and spend some cash on an unlimited data plan

 

I haven't used a NAS in a truck, but I do have an IT background. What I would do is get an inexpensive NAS with a spinning disk that has the capacity you want. Get one that you can replace the disk drive if it goes bad. Make sure it's powered down and protected as much as possible when moving, and I don't think you'll have much of a problem. Most importantly, make sure you have a backup of everything at home.

 

Yes you can use them in a truck and yes they can take a beating unless you put them in a cushioned space.

Just got a new one with Ironwolf pro 6tb harddrives. this will be put into one of my heavy haul trucks next month.

 

I bought and learned then used a Raspberry Pi for a NAS. Costs about $40-50 for the RasPi, plus the costs of the HDD or Solid state drives
