Data as in information (photos, contacts, messages, etc…), not your mobile internet allowance.

I personally just have photos and a few phone numbers that I can remember, probably around 10-15 GB including a few 4K videos. I have like maybe 20 GB of apps but they are re-downloadable so it doesn’t really count for me. As for PC, I rarely use computers these days, too tired and I’d rather lie down and stare at my phone instead, so I’m not even gonna count my PC data. How much data do you have and whats your total combined storage of all your drives?

Edit: Damn, some people got so much stuff! I personally am relying on faith that the internet and civilization doesn’t collapse so I download stuff whenever I want to watch them and delete them when I’m done with them. Y’all got doomsday bunkers planned out! 😆

        I don’t really keep any porn saved since everything is just accessible online.

        Mostly keep movies, tv, and anime but have started to also keep some ebooks and music as of lately.

        I’m also a data hoarder so I just keep most stuff forever unless it’s a torrent or installer

          I really try to go through my stuff and delete things I no longer need - more usually documents rather than media… I always worry I might remove something I realise I need later! So you are probably more sensible!

            I also have like 200-300gb of Linux and Windows ISOs for archival reasons. There have been several times where I’ve had to load an older OS that had proper Ethernet drivers and upgrade.

              It’s super dedicated, when something isn’t working people like you are why we have the things we need archived!

              I have a huge collection of TTRPG material, and mirrored back ups of media but nothing that exciting.

    On my desktop PC I have 2tb of SSD and 16tb of hard disk. I use the ssds for games and OS, while the hdds get used for movies, tv shows, music, etc.

    I am actively seeding 4.5tb of data on private trackers.

    That’s how I started out too. You pick a few things here and there, next thing you know a few years later you build a server capable of storing half a petabyte of data. The important thing is to know when it starts becoming a problem. I am at 216 tb now, but I should be good for years to come.

    How is everyone here indexing and cataloguing 10s of TBs of data???

    I have like <8 TB combined probably if you count everything I have on my PC/laptop/cloud storage and I often can’t find shit and a bunch of those are full disk compressed backups that I can’t even search directly without opening it in a specialized program.

      I record music at home and sometimes also shoot videos for it sometimes. You’d be surprised how much storage you’d fill even just in your first year.

    50 TB on a network attached storage appliance across 8 drives, probably 200-400 GB across two laptop internal drives, and 500 GB or so of games on a Framework expansion card.

    I may have a problem. Something something r/datahoarder something something.

    Total drive space is probably something like 40 to 50 TB.

    Around three quarters of that is in use, mostly my Plex libraries: film, TV, music, spoken word.

      Damn, y’all have so much stuff. I kinda put my faith in the internet and hoped that civilization doesn’t collapse and torrent stuff whenever I want to watch them.

          Given that a movie can be between 1GB and 50GB depending on source and compression used, you can’t know that. You can find game of thrones downloads that are 30GB per episode. At 1080. If you go for high quality with a nzb setup, it fills up really fast.

          Also my setup is used by multiple people and that’s probably fairly common. So maybe “I” can’t watch that much, but “we” can.

            And who does that? I mean, that’s just a huge cost for what? Slightly sharper nipples on screen?

            How often do you think, you’ll watch, say GoT? Twice? Why bother building half a data center in your house for the off chance that you might, at some point, maybe want to consider to watch that one movie again?

            It’s a hobby, I get that. But arguing that it’s useful is like saying you’re restoring that 50s car in your garage for driving to work or grocery shopping. We all know, that’s not the reason.

              Some people just want lossless media.

              And saying it’s a huge cost… 60TB in a raid 5 setup will cost you less than $2k. That’s really not much for most US households. Especially when that setup lasts for years.

    About 30TB all up though 2x 10TB are mirrored backups of each other. I’m due some more soon.

    I have about 140TB of stuff and ever growing. I have a second server that I back everything up to off site, so if you count the duplicate data, it’s 280 TB.
