For a piracy-oriented community I'm surprised this isn't discussed as much.

Do you ever store media, or delete them after watching? How do you store them?

I personally have 12TB worth of hard drives (3x4TB) in a JBOD configuration. Been wanting to upgrade my hard drives (they're 6 years old) but I'm still a little skeptical of the helium drives and whether they will last...

I store contents on 128GB BDXL Blu Ray discs, I like to have all the media easily accessible and don't want to degrade anytime I play it. If its larger than that I will put in on an SSD.

Synology 4 bay with SHR1 (1 disk failure) 12TB usable space.

With some USB disks lying around with unimportant data.

No I don’t store anything. Can’t be bothered to do so anymore. Had plenty of disk failures in the past so I couldn’t be arsed to rebuild a new archive and let’s be honest how often do you actually rewatch anything.

Nowadays I just stream movies using Kodi and Seren with a torrent cache service like Alldebrid. Haven’t downloaded a movie since.

14tb in my server as JBOD with 20tb in external drives for backups and some change for any extras.

I personally only store things that are hard to get again. Things like obscure domestic TV and really old movies. If it's something I can get again easily then I watch and delete.

I've got x2 2tb drives plugged into a dock. When they were getting full, I questioned why I was keeping half the stuff. With 100mb internet (some may laugh at that speed lol) there's no need to keep an abundance of easy to gets. I tend to keep only the hard to get or favourite stuff.
