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…

    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)
