Mine is 186GiB. I have about 100 movies and 3 TV series on a two hard disks (one for backup). I don't know if that is small or large.

How big is your collection?

I have an entire series of Breaking Bad and that alone is almost 100GB and 320GB+ of anime also another 200GB if you count games all store in an external 1TB hard drive and that's puny compared to other people collection I saw online

I have about 24TB, lots of stuff backed up over many years, and not all of it pirated. In making backups over such a long period of time, I've actually managed to make redundant backups, so a recent project of mine is to just go to my NAS and organize, consolidate, and otherwise delete things I don't actually wish to keep. I've saved a couple TBs and I hope to free up a few more TBs.

download movie -> watch movie -> seed it for a while, at least some days -> delete

I have like 10 movies saved for archival, because it was hard to find them

About 9tb. 100 days worth of music, 300 or so shows and over 1000 movies. Just recently started to get /convert everything to 1080p.

6 shows (131 episodes) at 240 GiB
2 movies at 80 GiB

40GiB of game ROMs of all sorts. A ton of snes/megadrive oldies, some PS1 stuff.

Now I want to expand to Wii and Gamecube...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

it is not too much. do you have some nostalgia about these times or prefer some old consoles rather than the newer ones?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

I think old school gaming in general was simpler and more enjoyable/to the point. I have most nostalgia for PS1 stuff, but I really like a bit of everything

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

42TiB (I managed to get about 5TiB back by defining remux to be lower quality as "normal" releases in the arr* apps 😎) Now I can finally add more media

7 TB in music, tv and movies
Dunno how much is what.
Recently uograded from a single 7TB HDD to a 4x16TB NAS in RaidZ2

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

well this is my current music library all together in a WinAMP Playlist

TV folder is 6.66tb, Movie folder is 1.84tb, Music is 600gb

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

6TiB, backed up to the cloud. So 12TiB in total

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

12tb on the fileserver (Enigma)

Big Finish and music live on my main rig.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Like 50GB of music, probably about 30gb of shows. though I only started downloading shows very recently, like earlier this year.

Not big, but I have a few degenerate hoarding friends I mooch off of

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

.5TB but I'm still a student so I'm pretty happy about it

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

With just shows in general, I have a fair amount. Don't know the exact amount of cartoons, but I got a 1TB external drive almost full of them, a single live actions show from the 90s, a single live action movie, a few animated films, and a whole comic set. As for games, I don't count by size, nor do I know how many since they're not stored on a drive. I specifically got a 2TB external drive (both drives Seagate) for if I ever find more shows/whatever I wanna collect, but I have yet to find something I desperately want.

That, and I still need to use it to back up files so I can switch operating systems on my desktop.

Edit:

No idea how much music I've downloaded from yt using things like NewPipe, but I got a good amount. I'd assume this counts as piracy too, since I'm certain the people in charge of the music industry don't like you being able to do that.

About 8GiB thumb drive. I don't hang on to much

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago
[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Two 8TB drives. One has 1272 movies at 7.14TB and the other 252 shows/15571 episodes at 7.11TB

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Mostly games. Maybe 30 ish GB, probably an understatement but I don't have that much storage

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

I do the same. I have 500GiB storage for my Pi4, which I use for torrenting and Kodi. I delete stuff if I watched it and it reaches 2:1 seed ratio, or after a couple of months. So in a way I don't really have a collection.

[–] [email protected] -3 points 1 month ago

I know somebody that just recently had to buy another drive for their 32TB unraid media server that runs in a DIY clean box in the basement. Is that small or large? I can't imagine myself doing that much crime.
