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…

    Games and softwares: I store the installers, delete if I don’t like it

    Music: store them all, even if some songs in an album isn’t my cup of tea

    Videos: want to save all of them, but my storage is pretty small in the first place, so I pick the ones I really like

    Ebooks: only downloaded a few, but still save them all

    Mangas: usually save unless I don’t really like it or no reason to reread

    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.
