Subject: [AUDITORY] F.O.S.S auditory data server 20TB - feasibility/utility ? From: Nathan Barlow <nb.audiology@xxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 26 Sep 2024 08:38:09 +0100--0000000000001bce81062300d4b0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" Dear AUDITORY List members, Would there be any interest from members in a collective server with a data array of 20TB; the aim being able to secure store Auditory data from human participants in line with Human ethics boards requirements on data longevity. Think large open data sets. Think being able to browse your dataset for new insights in a new way with their specialism. Myself,I have found that long-term storage required a specialised array to extend past the 10year mark. This is for example the finalised dataset of semi or even fully anonymised data, or equally the large size original recordings (video, EEG, etc) that span several GB a file. A description of the server can be found at: https://tinyurl.com/auditory-serve (note the drives in the actual server are six 5Tb HDD's in an array, with data longetivty exceeding 15 years- but the description shows six 1Tb - an older configuration) It runs Linux but SMB based (allowing Windows compatibility) and exFAT (limiting to 4GB per file) and using SSH currently for secure connection and data transfer. I look forward with interest to any correspondence with AUDITORY members and their learned opinions on wether such a open source, non-profit server is of use within our auditory neuroscientific community, or indeed even hearing about your existing options in this space. nga mihi Nathan -- Nathan Barlow BSc, PGDip, MSc(SpchSci)(Hons), CoP, MSc(Clinical Audiology)(Soton) www.eresope.wordpress.com @xxxxxxxx --0000000000001bce81062300d4b0 Content-Type: text/html; charset="UTF-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <div dir=3D"ltr"> =09 <span></span> =09 =09 <p style=3D"line-height:100%;margin-bottom:0cm;background:transparent"> Dear AUDITORY List members,<br> <br> Would there be any interest from members in a collective server with a data array of 20TB; the aim being able to secure store Auditory data from human participants in line with Human ethics boards requirements on data longevity.
