Back that shit up

Ext. Drives are dirt cheap. No excuses.

I probably have at worst the second most external storage on this forum after Jorsher - its too expensive for me to back up all of my drives. When they make a 10TB drive, I'll buy it and back all my shit up.

I have 5 TB mirrored biatch

Actually you probably have more. I just picked up an external a few weeks ago since my 8 sata ports are used...
I grabbed a 1.5TB WD external for $125 shipped, and saw a deal with a 2TB WD external for $130.
But yeah, I know what you mean, hard to back up large amounts of data. I really would like my drives in a RAID5 or RAID6 array, however I have no place to temporarily store 8.5TB of data while I do that.
-
I havent RAID'd anything, I am waiting till I get a steady paycheck, new apt, etc etc so I can set up all of my computer shit anew. In the meantime I just have stacks of drives at my laptop and pc -_-.
Those 2TB @ around 100$ deals on slickdeals were very helpful in consolidating the amount of drives I had (down to 6 now) and I think I am going to stick with them for the long haul - next HD size up I am going to go to will be 5TB. The kicker is my drive that failed was a 160GB WD lol.
-
What the hell could you possibly be storing that equals up to even 160gb let alone 5+TB?????? jesus christ, I've had the same computer with only a 60gb internal HD and maybe have 20-30GB on it.
-
I have several TB's of H.264 encodes alone. <3
Then I have things like On Demand (several hundred gigs)
All sorts of shit, I have some shit like rainbow tables and spreadsheets that take up more than 60gigs alone... etc.

Who are you? I always get mixed up who is who with all these new screennames.
What format is the On Demand stuff? Usually TV rips are mpeg2 which is really meh.

Like he said, x264 encodes. Just one of the encodes I did (all 152 episodes of the original Twilight Zone) weighed in at a hefty 64gb. Then stuff like Planet Earth that must be enjoyed in 1080p -- 48gb. Video takes a bit of space.

Gross.

twin caviar black 1tb mirrored, fuck if im ever going to run a single disk ever again

In all honesty, is having terabytes of data useful, or just hording? I recall when I got broadband, had full-speed usenet access, and I was dl'ing mp3's and ps1/ps2/pc games like mad. This was when a 100gb drive was hot. I still haven't played 75% of the stuff I dl'ed back then.
I only have a TB of space, which maybe 70% is used, of which 70% I usually forget what it is or the data is never accessed. That means I'm wasting 500gb, and only actually using 200gb.
How many times do you guys watch the entire Planet Earth? Every episode of the Twilights Zone?? I'm lucky if I get time to play with my jimmy stick watching porn.
-
How many Dseries trannies do our members need in their garages?
How many quarts of used oil do I need in my trunk?
How many terabytes of indie films do I need to watch with my imaginary future gf who likes the same movies I do?
Btw jorsh, I'm the guy you mailed a cellphone to years ago O0

He means Mitchell OnDemand, the car repair program/database. The latest version was a 73 gig download.
Largest single movie I have is a 1080p rip of Avatar, 23 gigs :o

I have about 2.5 GB of total storage, looking to buy another 1 TB Seagate External.
-
Do you mean 2.5 TB?
-
The best part is, he probably doesnt. How many kb's does a Dseries Tranny hold.

A majority of what I have hasn't been watched/played/listened to/etc, but it's stuff I would like to use. The problem, as you mentioned, is finding time, but WHEN I have the time I like to have a lot of good stuff available. Whether it's hoarding or not, I prefer to buy more space than to delete something and re-download it later. 2TB drives can be had for under $100 now, so why not?
Honestly, about 2TB of my data is bluray/dvd sources alone for stuff that I intend to encode, and once encoded that 2TB will be shrunk to around 300-500gb.

Realistically, I need 180gb HD at minimum for a tuning laptop. You're looking at 100gb for MOD5 alone, heaven help you if it continues to grow at the rate which it has because the same program was 27gb three years ago.
-
Is there a link to the smaller older version? 27gigs is okay, but 73gigs is excessive when I won't own a 2007+ car for another decade.
-
this is America, Goddammit, and i want my computer storage like my muscle cars... big, obnoxious and really unnecessary. God Bless America
-

yeah, was rushing through forums.
I've added a 1 TB Seagate since this......

Worst thing to me when my HDD crashed was the loss of all my internet bookmarks. It seems like that was the only thing that didnt back up. Oh and vista backups dont restore in windows 7. How fucking lame.
-
I've got 1tb I'm never going to fill on this unit because I find I'm streaming movies most of the time anyway. Ill let ppl like jorsher support me until they cap the download at least.
