And why was it only after you realized your Golden Girls directory ballooned past 200GB?
When I ran out of storage space.
this is the only true answer.
like making backups only when the disk starts clicking.
I’m waiting for the disk to stop clicking before I back it up. Any day now!
it’s fine, raid0 is a backup right?
You read my mind! Now help me read this dead mechanical drive, would you?
I start collecting new drives for expansion when I reach 80%-100% capacity of the current RAID drive. Currently reaching that point, nearing 60TB.
The year was 2006, and the 80 GB HDD in my Dell Optiplex 790 was full of podcasts, stolen music, and episodes of Dr. Who…
Why did you download podcasts?
To listen to…
When I migrated the Jellyfin server to a NUC instead of the NAS. Now I can get whatever quality I like and just transcode on the fly when necessary. Also picked up some surveillance cameras that I expect will require some storage space.
14 TB soon full. Considering getting two more drives
I’m not a hoarder by any means, but my external 2TB drive is finally getting full. I just recently learned just how cheap storage is on a laptop with the 2.5" bays. I’m likely gong to use the new 4TB drive for general storage, then wipe the 2TB drive and move all of my content there.
When my home server crashed itself from lack of storage lol, I like to keep a 2 to 6tb buffer these days
I usually expand when I reach 80% capacity.

Did you find the show in 1080p somewhere? But yeah, I only have 480p and it still takes 70GB.
Let’s not talk about the 1.1TB Simpsons folder …
When I finally got a seedbox and started downloading massive amounts of movies, TV shows, games and music (first to the seedbox, then archived everything on my home NAS, deleted everything with lots of seeders from the seedbox to save space, and now I only use it for either new stuff I want to download, or seeding content with very few or no seeders)
