BIG DATA

damas

What do you store on your hard drives, and how much?
I'm currently storing a few TB of data on various mediums. A lot of nostalgic content I would not want to disappear.
Remember to make backups! Use the 3-2-1 rule.

I have many hard drives, most of which have games on, other than that its images and gifs/webms memes and such saved.
I did have a phase of ripping my DVDs, which i should do more of
otherwise yeah just random bits, it all piles up quite quickly, I need to organise my drives better. Probably have my music repeated and stuff 😅

MP4s of old movies from the Internet Archive because I don't know how torrenting works and can't be bothered to learn.

Lumeinshin Hard drives have gotten quite cheap. You can easily get like 30 TB. With a bit more money and patience you can have a whole NAS. I think it's worth it.

Fimm How do you not know how to torrent? That's an essential skill like tying your shoelaces.

It just never came up.
And I didn't know how to tie my shoelaces for the longest time either.

My drives are a mess.
1 m.2 drive 1tb
2 HDDs 4tb
1 SSD 1tb
1 SSD 512gb
1 SSD 128gb

I really need to get rid of the old SSDs or all of them

I have a 2 TB HDD with pirated movies, an ISO of Yakuza for PS2, Dolphin Emulator, and both of the Super Monkey Ball games. For backing up other stuff like all my images and webms saved from 4chan i just have multiple google accounts that i use for the 15 free gigs of Google Photos i get on each account

Heh, thought you meant along the lines of “Big Tech“
Though the phrase being used like that may be in our lifetime.

Passionate - and recently self-admitted - data hoarder here.
I sweep up any game, film or TV series into my HDD.
I started pirating over nearly 12 years ago, but none of HDDs live for that long.
Only value I have are the content I saved since, probably, 5 years ago, maybe 7 max.
Torrents die quickly, so I really found fruit even in the content I've downloaded just 2 years back.

I've only realised (or rather felt) the true threat of content extinction recently, so my mass piling journey hasn't begun from long ago.

Right now, I'm focusing on old cartoons. Or entire broadcasts of TV channels, like Boomerang, or Cartoon Network.

If y'all got a path to where to get that shit, IOU<3.

There's a general cartoon thread on there that might have some of what you are looking for.
Now for other sites, the only other one im aware of that has what you are looking for is 1337x. In general, it's much easier to find cartoon streaming sites than there are for cartoon torrents. If im able to find any more sites that have what you are looking for i will edit my post.
