For a piracy-oriented community I’m surprised this isn’t discussed as much.

Do you ever store media, or delete them after watching? How do you store them?

I personally have 12TB worth of hard drives (3x4TB) in a JBOD configuration. Been wanting to upgrade my hard drives (they’re 6 years old) but I’m still a little skeptical of the helium drives and whether they will last…

    Since I mainly download music, yes I store it forever. Too much good stuff just disappears online especially stuff I listen to.

    As for shows and movies, I download and save more obscure stuff, but I really watch TV/movies anyways so.

    I currently have a 18tb drive that I got for like $140.

      Same here, but nostalgy has pushed me to hold on that media dubbed in the language I grew with. I now live on a different country with same language, but the dub is way different.

      Hard to find old 70’s, 80’s stuff

        Thats a totally a fair thing to store, dubs of different languages tend to be worse preserved.
