DVDs are also a bitch to use when you have 100 laying around and can break/scratch/just fucking stop working properly easily. Just get some cheap 1TB HDD, it's enough space to keep all your favourite animu.

It's easier than you might think.

There are tons of shitty jobs out there that cycle away half of their staff practically every month, and many of their employees are the dumbest of the dumb, have been exceedingly short sighted in regards to handling their jobs, and have criminal records.

Take one of these jobs (dress nice, be positive, and show confidence that you can do job the right; if they're interviewing you, you have a chance) and hold it down for six months to a year. And get in good with your bosses. All you have to do is always do as you're told, make sure that you're always busy, and be smarter than the aforementioned idiots, and you'll be fine.

Then start looking for a higher paying job. You know how your bosses like you? Get them to give you a good reference. That goes a long ways.

Congratulations, you now probably have a paycheck that you could even move out on if you wanted.

>>110204720
unless you plan to rewatch it or sharing it with friends, it's kind of a waste of space to keep everything you've downloaded.

If then you want to watch again something you don't have anymore, just download it again.

Exceptions for dead/hardly seeded torrents that takes ages to completely download.

External HDDs are not that expansive nowadays... Not to mention it's worth investing your money into.

For example, I picked up this one for only 50 bucks.

That said, you should also pick up a decent 2~3TB internal HDD as well for convenience. This again doesn't cost that much.

>feelio when terabyte HD

>>110206135
That's what most casuals do. I have a friend who only recently started watching anime again (he hasn't watched it since high school pretty much) and all he's done is watch old series he saw but never finished as a teenager. He's not really into new shows that much.

Comparatively, I pick up 15+ new shows every season and finish about 2 series a month from my backlog.

Out of the two of us, my friend is more typical.

Never buy an external as a complete package, compaines usually put worse HDDs in them since they're intended for the less techy customers. You can't expect the same longevity of performance, unless you know what's inside.

Buy an enclosure for your internal drives if you no longer have free 3.5" slots.

>>110206380
WD is a good company for externals, but it's still wise to stick to 1.5TB and under, because larger external drives are prone to failure. If you're going to buy external drives, then go with smaller ones.

100 DVDs is 400GB at best, more like 300 if you don't want them to be a mess. If series is 5GB, you have to burn it on two separate DVDs.

They're extremely inefficient to use because each series requires different DVD. The process of taking one DVD out of PC, looking for another, putting it in, waiting for it to be ready takes ages compared to clicking a folder on HDD.
Burning DVDs takes a lot of time. With HDD you simply keep what you downloaded.
Also, huge difference in reading speed.

I don't think anime is easier to find than porn on the internet. Considering the fact that there is easily more porn than anime on the interwebs. Additionally, unless you want to stream anime, it would require an extra step which makes it a little bit harder. You could say the same thing about porn as well but it is so much more abundant and it comes in many forms besides video. Porn is easier to get than anime. Yet both are easy to get.

Unless you are in 3rd world country, you can DL multiple gigabyte in minutes with current internet speeds. So if i want to rewatch Madoka 10gb rip, i go to nyaa, start download, go to fill some tea at kitchen and when i am back to room its downloaded.

Not him but I'm getting caution here.

how are you sure its not software? have you reformatted and reinstalled windows? powersupply is a possible issue.

It's usually ram.

>BSOD is almost never ram.
The only time I had BSOD on XP and above was because 1 ram stick went bad.

>>110210984

Not him, but majority of times I've gotten a BSOD it was software related (drivers not updated usually)

How do you decide which shows to burn?

I have a bunch of 480p rips of Eva, Code Geass, etc. sitting in my closet. It's efficient, toaster proof, and will run on anything still alive after a nuclear disaster, but I feel like I should burn better quality rips instead.

I watched a lot of shitty seasonal stuff to understand what I liked and what kind of stuff gets made regularly. I don't regret it at all, I exposed myself to new things and found new genres & shows I didn't know I liked, but it was stressful to keep up with that much so I have to cut back.

I don't have a MAL though, that's gay.

I'd wait a while before buying a 6TB drive. They'll probably have issues for a while. Especially if they're Seagates. Not to mention having that many heads and platters in one place with 'new techniques' behind them is asking for something to go wrong.

>>110213364
My 3TB drives seem pretty stable so I would recommend that.

>>110213364
i would agree. seagate has terrible quality control
when i first bought my 2tb disks i got 2/3 DoA. never bought a seagate again.

A while back I decided I would delete everything that I didn't think was a 9/10 or above.

I have tons of free space now and nothing was lost considering I would likely never have the urge to rewatch something that wasn't at least a 9/10 anyway.

>>110213446
i drunk watch really bad shows sometimes for the laughs. 11-eyes was a good one.

>>110213446

Do you guys watch anime off of your externals when they are plugged in or do you just port a series from your HDD onto your computer whenever you want to watch it?

I've never had trouble with seagate or wd, you just want to make sure you know what you're buying.

the 'eco' and 'green' drives people buy I'm pretty sure are the ones that break down the most, all because they wanted to save 5 bucks.
Deleting and redownloading the same crap repeatedly will kill your drives.

It really just comes down to how you treat your shit, you don't need to take care of a hard drive much, its just a matter of not developing bad habits.

Where do you live? As an Italian I have barely 3mbit. Downloading an anime movie or a series takes a whole night. Even many americans have pretty bad internet connections.

I'm jelly. The thing is, I pay for a 20mbit connection but the highest speed I've had was 5mbit. There's another ISP I'm going to switch to which will give me ACTUAL 8mbit (Vodafone).

>I'm from a little piece of shit town at the end of the world, and i have 40mb to servers in the country and 17 mb to new york. YOUR INTERNET IS SHIT (as your waifu)
I know, but there's just nothing I can do. Zero. No provider here could guarantee even just as little as 20mbit forget 40. I live in a medium town (25000 people) on the garda lake.

Do speeds like this somehow damage internet infrastructure?

buy additional HDDs
they get cheaper and cheaper

>>110217271
Why would it damage anything?

Does it power over USB or a seperate adapter?
If it's powering, that's usually a sign it's working enough to get it to acquire on the system provided the drive works if it's just USB. See if it's making any noises when you put your ear to it.

>pay for 100 mb/s plus
>get 30
Could be much worse, that's still good by strayan standards

Power cable and a USB cable, I can turn it on with just the power cable, so that's definitely not the problem
I checked both cables on another drive that uses the same kind of ports, they're fine

>114.35mbit UP
My god, you could set up a server. I wish I didn't have such a shitty 3mbit connection

>Power cable and a USB cable

It's probably a standard SATA drive in an enclosure with a USB connector, then. Which is both good and bad because there's a chance that the connector has gone rather than the drive, but you'll actually need the cables to plug it up over SATA to test otherwise.

By the way, I have no datacap.

That's what google told me
Apparently if I'd put a password on the drive it'd be virtually impossible to recover the data without buying another of the same mode
