That seems pretty normal, anon

I began hoarding PS1 games (only those I might like from US and JAP sets) yesterday. Problem is I don't have a lot of space. All of them take roughly 150GB uncompressed.

At the same time, I found two 80gb SATA laptop hard drives and I don't know what the fuck to do with em. Maybe I should put half in one and half in the other. But I also have an external disk I use for backups with 300GB left. Maybe I should put them there. I don't know. What should I do /g/?

~15 TB of music, mostly FLAC but also weird stuff in MP3 or "other" when options are limited. ~5 TB of that was when I ripped my CD collection so I could get rid of 12,000+ CDs. Still have 5,000 vinyl albums I need to rip so I can get rid of those, too. I'm constantly trading music, and never delete anything unless it's demonstrably flawed & I find a better copy. Since I have so much of what I'm interested in already, I've slowed down a lot. Probably will only add ~2 TB/year at this point. Yes, I listen to music all day long during most activities, and my office/studio is equipped with some moderately serious audio equipment.

Then, ~10 TB of anime. Don't get to watch that much anymore, but I've got rare encodes & fansubs from the late 1990s through the current year. Mostly I give away copies to interested people, but I do watch & rewatch about 10-15 hours/month depending on time. Not aggressively collecting these days, just don't have time to keep up with the scene anymore, so "only" grabbing ~50 GB/month (2 or 3 series or the equivalent) these days. I do delete the really horrible shit, but I rarely download something so bad that I need to do that.

Don't do movies very much, not a major interest. Maybe 2/month for ~15 GB/month or so? Similar to anime, I rarely delete because I rarely bother downloading anything that is so bad I don't keep it on file ... again, often more so I can give out copies & sometimes get trades back.

I do download documentaries & all sorts of science & history &nature series. Easily 50 GB/month, sometimes 100. I've got a huge backlog that I need time to watch. And I keep almost everything (even the bad shit) as a reference library.

I collected games for a while, but I lack the time to play them. They've been such a moving target as far as reliability for installation as operating systems get "fixed" and updated that I finally stopped. ~500 GB older ones burned to DVD?

I'm a file hoarder and I do this with one exception:

>when watching a series, delete each episode as i finish watching it
I only delete episodes for currently airing shows, because they'll release a BD or high quality version later, so no point in keeping the tv quality around.

>>61930080
I wish having 60TB was as easy as just buying a bunch of HDD's.

If you're getting that many HDD's, then you'll definitely want RAID. Since it's RAID, you'll probably have a bunch of <2TB HDD's, meaning you'll need a rackmount. With rackmounts, you'll want quality HDD's, so SAS(which are more expensive). a 1TB SAS drive is around $150. Then you'll want a server, which can cost anywhere from $200 to 2000. This can all easily end up costing $10k.

or you can play with fire like im doing and just have a 32TB JBOD.

I'd kill to explore your 10 TB anime storage. I fucking love old ass fansub encodes. Any examples you'd like to share?

I'm an archivist, not a hoarder. Any tips on cheap storage and methods to organize my files?

>>61930057
Do you have this? How much data? Do you have any of the PS2 undub ISO's?

I deleted everything I had about 500GB.
Dont give a shit anymore.
I am cured from hoarding.

560GB of hentai.
yeah!

>>61930649
You dont need <2tb drives for raid and you don' need SAS. What drugs are you on that you think you do?

>>61931180
On HDD, around $0.05 per GB with the server hardware once you do it a bit like Backblaze and build big pretty efficient servers. HDD cost is half of that per GB.

With tape drives the cost per GB can be even a bit lower, but it really is a mixed bag because the drives themselves cost quite a lot.

>>61931925
Are €100 for a new 4TB external drive good?

>>61932107
I think that's about a normal price for Europe. Not sure if there are any much better deals right now.

>>61929976
Wish I could stop, have so much music I don't even listen to, I lost a 2TB drive a while ago and probably only miss 100meg of shit. (Still have lots of games I don't play and movies/series I haven't watched)

way overcomplicated.

Fuck raid too, just do full 1:1 backups. RAID is not a backup afterall, and that would still cost less than your 10k ridiculousness. 20 6tb disks can be had for under $4k on newegg. Then you just need a bunch of LSI9211-8i's and enough ecc ram to zfs that bitch up.

24Tb atm, About to go to 32Tb when new drives arrive.

All of the hoarders here could pool together their drives and resources to make a remote server that the rest of us could enjoy forever.

>>61929976
I only run a couple of thin clients with <8gb embedded storage and connect to a file server that has a 160gb ssd backup.

>>61929976
I too hoard files.

But personally I don't need access to them at anytime I am at the computer. So why do yall risk your data by having it plugged in 24/7?

Raid level 1 IS literally a 1:1 backup scheme.

>>61933451
go on

>>61933494
>Raid [...] IS [...] a [...] backup
No it's not fuck you

>>61933494
no it's not
while the basic meaning of the word does apply, it doesn't fit the typical definition of what a computer storage backup is
raid1 is a mirror, or redundancy
a "backup" should be an /inactive/ copy

think of it this way, what happens when you delete a file on a raid1? you lose the file on both disks simultaniously
and don't say "but snapshots", as snapshots do their job even with one disk, they're not a feature of redundant hardware

The only outrageous stuff I have is about 500 gb of ASMR.

Waifus routinely take videos down, so I need to archive that shit.

I'm financial time series data hoarding and have many hundreds of gigabytes of forex tick data and interested in acquiring more. It's because since it's OTC there is no central clearing at an exchange so each venue has different data.

i hoard movies and TV shows that i'll probably never watch again.

piratey versions of PC games even after i've bought the steam versions in sales.

old versions of game mods (mainly elder scrolls and fallout stuff) even when the newer versions are improved in every way.

old modding tools, some dating back to ps2/xbox era

eeprom backups of every xbox i ever modded.

>>61933923
>eeprom backups of every xbox i ever modded.
i still have a bunch of those, too

>>61933494
No it isn't. Backup is a copy stored somewhere else where catastrophic failure, either of the user or of the hardware, cannot touch it.
>if you accidentally delete something, RAID1 doesn't save you.
>if something malicious fucks with your data, RAID1 doesn't save you
>if your PSU fucks up and burns out your drives, RAID1 doesn't save you
Backup is stored somewhere else, preferably in such a way that it is not directly connected to the live system at all times, so if somebody nukes all your live shit they can't just cd over to your backup mount and nuke that as well.

For a home user backup can be as simple as an external drive which is simply kept powered off when not in use, but RAID1 is in no way a backup.
