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…

    I keep everything I download as long as it’s of sufficient quality on many large HDD’s. Most of my media is then served through Jellyfin. Considering the state of the internet recently I think it’s important to download what you care about before it becomes unavailable.

      Do you have all your hard drives connected to your computer/NAS or are they in cold storage? I have 6 HDDs/SSDs combined on my computer and no more available SATA/M2 slots…

        Not all are connected, and I don’t think it would be wise to do so in the long run anyway if I keep trying to preserve data like I am. Eventually I’ll have a proper backup system and a dedicated NAS.
