@hazelnot @brood I mean, I just bought two 4TB drives for roughly the cost of a one year subscription to Amazon Prime, so, yeah, it's not cheap but not crazy either.

@ehproque @brood I had to do some digging to find out how much that is, and... $140 is a lot of money lol

I guess they're HDDs, cause I saved up a bunch of money to buy a 2TB SSD this year and the one I was looking at originally was like 200€ 💀

Though it turns out my motherboard is too old to properly work with it so I'm gonna go for a slower one at about half the price

@hazelnot @brood yeah, an SDD is overkill for personal storage, that's for running your software or serving tons of files. But it probably fits all the music I can possibly want to store, at a reasonable bitrate.

@ehproque @brood hah yeah I wanna get it primarily for Baldur's Gate 3 cause I have the game but my current SSD is full and the loading times and level streaming are just atrocious from an HDD

@ehproque @hazelnot @brood it's a bit trickier with video. Im about to fill a 14TB drive. And Im very anxious about it because I don't have it backed up.
I would need to get another 14TB drive to back it up and by another one to keep being my own librarian 😬 ( so 56 TB in total if I wanted to back it all and keep going)

@hazelnot @sanzky @brood yeah video is on a different level, esp. if it's your own and not stuff you can download again if lost.
