My current raw capacity is at 160 TB.

Wild! I've got about 40 TB myself, and have never come across someone with more... let alone four times more.

I'm at 208RB raw, but actually only have 120TB in active use

[-] cali_ash@lemmy.wtf 5 points 9 months ago

40 TB was my previous capacity and based around a really cheap 2 bay NAS with a mess of external USB drives attached and no backup ... and is now pretty much full.

So I ordered a 12 bay NAS (with, for now 6x 20TB disks) to bascially replace the entire old setup. I'm also planning to put the new setup in RAID 5 or 6, so it will only have an effective storage of 80-100 TB.

The f do you store on all that space? Raw blu-ray rips?

[-] cali_ash@lemmy.wtf 6 points 9 months ago

Just a lot of stuff. TV Shows/Series take up by far the most space. For example, just the Simpsons in 1080p (h264) takes over 500GB.

Do you actually watch all of the stuff you download, or is it more like a digital hoard?

[-] cali_ash@lemmy.wtf 7 points 9 months ago

No, that would be literally impossible. The total of playtime of what I downloaded in the last year is over 1 year and 7 months (+5 months if you include music).

So the majority is just ... archiving.

Why?

[-] cali_ash@lemmy.wtf 8 points 9 months ago

Everybody needs a hobby.

[-] victorz@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

Creating a legacy, eh. Keep doing the good work.
