Oh boy.

 

Desktop

64GB Internal SSD (full)

2TB Internal HDD (mostly full)

 

Laptop

350GB Internal SSD (Half full, mostly different OSes)

750GB Internal HDD (mostly empty)

3TB External HDD (mostly empty)
2TB External HDD (full)

16GB Flash Drive (broken? why do I have this.)
8GB Flash Drive (Linux Live "Disc")

3 x 2GB Flash Drives (Variable)

8GB SD Card (Phone) (half full)

 

Bonus:
~100GB backed up in DVDs

2GB Dropbox (unneeded?)

50GB Box (1GB used?)

5 x 15GB Gmail accounts

"Unlimited" Webhost (500MB used?)

Kudos to the file server guys. If only I had a living situation in which this such a thing was practical.

The "un"fortunate side is that internet speeds are about to go supernova, coupled with H.265, may significantly decrease the need to ever backup movies, shows, etc. But this might be a good thing.

For primary storage, I do have the following:


 


2x 4 TB external hard drives in mirror config


2x 3 TB external hard drives also in mirror config for redundancy


14 TB redundant storage total for my primary


 


For extra or 'auxiliary' storage I do have:


 


1 x 2 TB external hard drive


2 x 1 TB external hard drive


4 TB total


 


Right now, I'm being careful not to quickly fill up my primary storage.


 


My internal storage for my laptop would be 2 x 750 GB hard drives.


 


Apart from that, I have several decent capacity (16 GB+) flash drives lying around that I rarely use. I also have several online storage accounts with different providers, though as of now I don't really care much for them as much as I do for my local storage lol.


 


I'm planning on buying the new 5 TB hard drive models as soon as they hit the store shelves later this year or early next year so I can expand my primary storage.


 


I'm preparing to setup a NAS config for my hard drives, though as of yet I haven't yet found a decent NAS box that's cheap enough for what I'm planning.


 


I would also recommend you guys to set-up your own home NAS if you have a lot of separate hard drives you're using at home, although prices for individual NAS boxes can be a significant barrier to entry.

Laptop: 2x500GB


PC: 360GB


External: 1-3TB, 1-1TB


 


The 3TB external is mainly for 720p anime which takes up a ton, as I'm sure you all know.


The main drive of my laptop has a ton of games on it from steam.


 


Trying to keep it all cleaned and organized is a nightmare, especially when you're OCD about shit like that.

Hmmm...I may take the cake here lol....having taken advantage of the most recent black friday offerings and being a total media hoarder of all types...

Let's see connected to my htpc mini (500 gb internal), I've got 11 externals hooked up ranging from 2 tb to 8tb totally...wow doesn't seem like it...almost 40 tb of storage. That's not counting the 3 tb i got connected to my desktop.

Yeah, definitely trying to migrate to NAS but want something capable of being a dedicated server/transcoder with room to grow but way too expensive so that's just a "if i win the lottery" splurge.

So hah! Beat that! :)

p.s. Yeah, excessive, but a lot of it is research for my dream job of being a screenwriter (or so I tell myself lol)
