Hard drive space is the cost going up whilst on the seas.
Purge, don’t hoard.
Keep only the stuff you’ll legitimately watch again. Purge the one and done.
Why shouldn't I keep it?! My... Precious
If everyone had that attitude, things will get lost forever. Someone's gotta keep seeding.
I just spun up some old old 12 tb I had from my last bump so I wouldn't need to prune data.
I will use this to justify my continued hoarding of obsolete gear for far long than it makes sense.
Even at current prices, where a 10 TB hard drive is ~$410, that's only ~35 cents for a DVD's worth of content (8.5 GB).
I gotta be honest, my initial reply was a knee jerk response, I did not take any time to do the math behind the storage. Thank you
I'm not a hoarder, so I watch and delete after a while.
