8TB of stuff it would be really irritating to lose.  I cant say I have anything that I desperately need to have on my computer, anything thats of utmost importance is on a server thats backed up anyways.  But losing 8TB of movies/music/files would be extremely annoying

Hmm I don't get it

I bought a 1TB drive a year back and I am still only @ 25% with it... and most of that is games... I keep a monthly backup of docs, pictures, movies, music, etc.

Can't see myself using 8TB unless I act as a upload server for entire membership torrent sites O.o

When you have 10-20GB movies, 8TB doesnt seem like all that much.  I'm constantly running out of room.

yup
once upon a midnight dreary, while i pron surfed, weak and weary, over many a strange and spurious site of ' hot  xxx galore'. While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.

Well, unless youre getting the 30-50GB Blu-Ray rip, technically its an encode

I think I have around 500GB left out of my 8TB, going to have to load up on some more HDDs soon

Come to think of it, they've survived multiple power surges and outages. I've only lost one drive so far, but thankfully I saw it coming and replaced the drive with zero losses

Nicely done. I've never lost a drive. In fact, I just hooked up a 60gb and 40gb IDE yesterday, took two films, 800+ tracks, and 615 photos from /b/ off them haha. Then reformatted them. muahahahahaha

60GB and 40GB?  I only have 1 drive under 500GB   Even my laptop one is 500GB, most are 1TB or 1.5TB.  I actually have some duplication (HDDs given to family for movies) so overall, including those, its around 10-12TB lol.  I cant wait until SSDs get better size/price so I can get off of spinning disks.

Yeah they're olllllld. Like 3-4 years old. I just bought a new 500GB on Saturday, got a 250GB in the pc already, and my lappy is a 160gb, but about 100gb of that is free as I only use it for music, and movies/tv. (Yes, I only have 60gb in total of media.)
