that's a minimum of 27TB of storage, what kind of monster is your computer?

    Thats really not that big in terms of a NAS. Some crazy fuckers on reddit had literal PETABYTES of storage.

    To be fair tho, those people are an extreme outlier.

    Yeah. Normal people have about 100tb of total space. My 96tb (64tb usable) of space is completely average and not at all an indicator of something being wrong or abnormal.

    Maybe for Americans storage falls from trees, could you share what is this normal supermarket where I can buy 100tb of total space?

    Oh. I was joking. I'm aware that my storage capabilities really are an outlier, even though I still feel inadequate whenever I go to a hoarding community.

    I've spent around 1200$ USD since I started collecting things back on 2021, which is about 300/year, or 25/month. I don't expect to purchase anymore for another three years or so, right around when a 24tb drive drops to 150/each. It's still not like, super cheap or anything though.

    HDDs are getting massive. You could almost store all that on a single drive right now.
