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…
You can also look at !datahoarder@lemmy.ml for this kind of questions. It was full of good advice on reddit and I’m sure it will be equivalent on Lemmy.
!selfhosted@lemmy.world can also be pretty useful.
This is not to be taken as offensive just curious.
how does the writer strike change anything? youre still pirating are you not regardless?! I’m confused on how your ethics/ morals applied when they weren’t on strike.
I only store “rare old hard to get stuff that I loved a lot” but I just delete everything else after watching so I never have more than a 1TB drive half empty from which I also delete what I downloaded but will never watch after some time. All of that on my Raspberry pi home server with Emby and CasaOs.
4x 18TB (ironwolf)
2x 250GB (970 evos) SSD cache
SHR (1 disk redundancy)
in a synology DS918+ NAS,
gives me ~47TB usable space in one enclosure
and
4x 8TB (ironwolf)
RAID 5 (1 disk redundancy)
in a OWC Mercury Elite Pro Quad
gives me ~25TB usable space in the other
I have about 15TB of media stored, I like 4K HDR DV content and tend to rewatch stuff a lot. I don’t store anything that I have access to on a streaming service (unless it’s not available in 4K)
