Well, for the amount of money I spend on hard drives and other hardware I could subscribe to Netflix for about 30 years.

My only pain is destroying all those VCD/SVCDs and shitload of DVD-Rs full of .avi files.

All garbage when watching from modern high def TVs.

How much disk space do you need?

I have a simple 500GD HDD ($25) and a 230GB (?).

I also have $120 worth of DVD and CD for ~$60 thanks to Goodwill

Fits nicely.

Don’t forget some people run RAID, which means you need duplicates of the HDD. That really adds up.

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