How does /a/ archive her anime?
VHS is the only true option
>>134866928
Why do you have a picture of my closet?
>>134866966
Betamax anon, they have better quality.
>he doesn't buy all anime he watch
Upload them in private server
>>134866928
I bookmark them in my browser so I can stream them when I feel like it
>>134866928
Why archive when I can redownload them in a matter of minutes?
>>134866928
Not on a shitty SSD drive known to be one of the worst archive method.
I only archive chinese music nowadays.
>>134866928
I just have a two 4TB drives, using one for manual backup after each season. I'd love to have an LTO drive or something for archiving but it's a bit much for what I need.
>>134866928
Started with a 1TB external hard drive and kept storing shit in it (not just anime), when I had had like 80Gb left I bought a 2TB external hard drive and transferred everything to it. Guess when that one runs out I'll buy a 3TB or more external hard drive and repeat the same process and so on indefinitely.
Not sure if this is the most practical waybut at least it's not that expensive since being a poorfag is suffering
>>134866928
1 TB HDD as main drive
320GB encrypted HDD to save only the best
All anime are 360p so 1 TB is a lot of anime considering 1 episode is like 30-50 MB
>>134868060
>some shit
Kek u naughty boy
>>134868060
Hello fellow poorfag.
Mine is 1TB + 750GB + 500GB externals that I've collected over time.
Supercompressing anime works?
most anime isn't worth saving. the few that are, are going to be readily available for download for eons to come.
>consumer SSD
>for archiving
I only have 550GB left on my 4TB internal
WHAT DO
>>134868442
stop whining
>>134868442
delete some shit u thought it was good but not any more, buy more drives
>>134868442
Buy more hard drives.
>>134866928
If i had that many SSDs i'd sell them all and buy magnitudes more worth of HDDs
>>134868575
I'm never going to delete anything bro. Once they start cracking down on torrents sneakernet's will come back and I'm going to make some mad dosh!
i am uploader for a website since 15 years
i have 3To of animes
and it's is still not enough
>>134867682
This
SSD can't retain the memory if it is not used for a long period of time.
Just try to store a SSD drive for two years in a closet
in several external HDDs of course. however, each HDD has a complete copy on another HDD, so their stored in pairs. always two there are
>>134868120
>360p
>watching eyecancer
>>134869253
360 is decent for any story-focused anime or movie
Just curious here. Why do you guys store your anime?
Whenever I'm finished I usually keep the files for a few days, skip trough them and rewatch the best parts then I delete them and make room for new stuff.
>>134869314
hoarding problems
i keep them until the bds are out and then download the bds
>>134869314
So my imouto can watch.
>archiving anime
for what purpose?
>>134868442
And here I am freaking out because my 2TB drive only has 1.3GB of free space.
>>134869091
and i have 11To with all my HDD
I need to get a new hard drive but I'm poor. I was considering Burning onto DVDs since a pack of 100 is only ~£14 so thats £14 for 470gb
>>134869314
That's like saying why keep books that take up room on your bookshelf. Buy them, read them, throw them away.>he doesn't buy BDs
Don't see the point in archiving stuff you'll never watch again.
>>134868618
How are you going to make money off of that? Will you charge your friends for borrowing your flash drives?
>>134869314
>make room for new stuff.
No need to, I have fucktons of space.
>>134868060
1 TB > 2TB > 3 TB > 6TB NAS
They are multiplying.
>>134869307
>360 is decent
u might as well watch a low quality stream
4TB+4TB+4TB+4TB+3TB+3TB
No raid.
>>134869668
That's a big hole.
Current season is on my main drive. My archive is on a 3TB External.
>>134869710
For you.
Anyone RAID here?
>>134866928
>using SSD to store shit
I seriously hope you f/a/ggot don't do this.
>archiving anime
Instead of buying HDD, why not buy BDs instead.

No reason to have an SSD to watch anime, shitpost on 4chins and make transparents on PS.
>>134868333
Pls answer
>>134869916
>using a SSD is now /v/
Are you stupid or stupid?
>>134866928
I use a Seagate® Expansion™ External hard drive
>>134869947
I only archive music. Sadly, I only have 100 GB worth of music.
All I have is the tiny 320GB hard drive on my laptop and a 2TB USB external drive. I don't archive anime that I've watched, only download anime that I intend to watch soon. It goes from my text backlog list to the 2TB external to the 320GB internal to watching it to deleting it.
>>134869314
So I can pass my collection on to my grandchildren.
>Mom, why did grandpa leave me a chunk of plastic in his will?
>That's an external storage device. It holds video files of an outdated media form called "anime"
>Oh, I see
>I believe your grandpa's waifu is also stored somewhere in those files.
>Grandma is in this box?!
>In a way, yes, but she isn't the same AI that you meet every Christmas. Her .mkv personality is much more... linear.

ZFS Raid-Z array with an offsite backup.
>>134869314
I save all my absolute favorite stuff + some stuff that's pretty fun to rewatch whenever I feel like it. All in all I have 60~ series of combined anime and manga saved out of 800~ series I've watched/read so far. 600~ gB for that and 500~ gB for my backlog.
>>134866928
Funny story.
About 5 years ago, our state library thought it would be a GREAT idea to move all historical video archives to CD. They spent a considerable amount of money doing this.
About a year later a clerk was trying to retrieve some archives when they found the video archives and their back-ups were corrupt.
Thousands of hours of historical footage was lost forever due to this decision.
You can always trust the government to make intelligent and well informed decisions...
It really should only depend on the following question:
Is the torrent still going to exist with seeders in the future?
Don't have it on this computer but I have the 1930-1970 animation films on 2 external HDD and the other computer since I can't imagine downloading it now.
Same with a few other stuff including tamayura. Would be a pain to re-download that shit again.
>>134866928
I just write down whatever I've watched in this doc file and that's about it. If I want to watch an old show I'll just download it and watch it again
>>134866928

Maybe it's meant to be like how ships are always addressed as female
i haven't watched an anime worth remembering in the past 5 years, why would i store any of it?
>>134869314
In case of international crisis that will cause anime to perish from the internet.
>>134869314
It's just fun to see your collection build over time, especially with cool file folders for each series. And it's nice to have material for webms and stuff
>>134869947
I use the backup plus personally. Both are really good
>>134869314
1. For the inevitable fallout/world war where internet is restricted to your own country a la North Korea
2. For the inevitable piracy laws which will make pirating all forms of media near impossible (have to "know people" and go through dumb bullshit procedures)
3. To make sure that future generations of animu fans will be able to get the best encode of whatever anime by seeding what I download
>>134871175
When that happens, it's comforting to know that me and animu fans all over the world will be able to seed their collection and save humanity
>>134870287
hopefully streamfags learned their lesson after that whole KA debacle. We just want to help them
>>134871356
Not without a tracker.
And ISPs will block you from accessing overseas internet in the event of a world war anyway.
>>134868365
basically this
>>134866966
Tarantino, please.
>>134867587
>0 seeds
Sure you can.
>>134871384
What happened?
>>134868060
You better at least backup the most obscure ones and your image folders.Going bigger is not and advantage if it fails on you. I'd rather have multiple 1tb ones than upgrade and eventually lose 3tb or more in one go.
>>134871554
Basically 99% of their library got deleted due to copyright claims. The tears were glorious that day.
>>134871356
>seed
We will actually have to organize some undisclosed intentional meetings and share or trade the content in person.
If I really like something, I leave it on my HDD for a few years to seed. After that it goes on DVD or an external HDD.
If I don't like it, I seed for a few months and delete it.
>>134871817
It will probably look like this since it'll be in the future. The number stands for how many petabytes of animu they have
>>134871931
It will be the Otaku Mensa, just better. Time to fill more external drives with rare content to claim my privileges later.
I stream my anime so...
>>134872078
>>134871817
That is already being done. It's a long process but clearly it's already under way.
>>134871659
It's all back pretty much though. I'll be a filthy streamer and there's nothing you can do about it fag
>>134872515
>>134872078
You shouldn't, but alright.
Tape backups
Call me when another form of media holds 1.6tb for $30.
>>134872938
Interesting. Where do you get it?
>>134873034
Do you actually believe he does this? He is just trying to sound smart.
>>134866966
I have barely any anime stored on vhs, but hundreds of tapes of shitty tv shows that I'll never watch again, because fuck vhs and analog signals.
>>134873150
Bullshit or not, it does sound interesting and I might as well throw a bone for someone to come in and teach me something I don't know.
>>134869169
SSD is better for a running system, but for archiving just get a couple 4tb or bigger HDD. Why two(minimum)? Make duplicate copies and store the other one in a water+fireproof box and hide it somewhere safe.
I have a plex server that I made out of my old rig that has a 4TB and a 1TB HDD in right now. I just about filled up the 4TB between movies, anime, and shows. Will probably get a second 4TB sometime down the line.
>>134869314
I only keep the anime I like and delete the rest
>>134873336
Good start, but you should get five or more drives and raid them together.
>>134873386
I probably will at some point. Only reason I didn't do more with the server yet is I just did a new PC build this year that was a bit costly and I still need to upgrade the HDD's in that one first.
I just wish Plex was better for anime. It is great for Anime movies, TV shows and Movies, but gets weird with auto-downloading meta data for Anime.
>>134873386
Which raid setup? RAID 6 or 60 or 10 or ZFS or what?
Only have about 100-150gb worth of animu on my hdd, just shit I haven't watched yet to prepare for when I move and we don't have internet yet in the new house for a few days or so. Why download when you can stream?
>>134866928
18 TB of hdds. At least 11 TB of them is anime
I don't know why I store it, I'm pretty sure I won't watch it anyway
Just for fun I guess

exposed how? they're airtight metal cases. if your issue is with the exposed circuitry, those can be replaced.

Enjoy being a slave of possessive consumerism anon.

Why can you see the round thing from the outside of the case?
Bought a 4TB (only 1TB left) my book
I already own 2 hdds each 1TB
>>134874842
Anyway they're CD/DVD/ETC drives
DVD/Blu ray
come at me
>>134875187
Why would I? It seems puerile to attack someone over the internet about something as silly as this.
>>134869314
Hoarding shit is addicting. I used to be like that 8 years ago. Had whole cupboard of dvd's, all neatly segregated and every single one of them had series logo and some picture drawn on it.
>>134875517
I still have a literal cubic meter of discs that I haven't even tried to read in a decade. I wonder if the data is still intact.
Is investing in a tape drive is smart ?
>>134877230
About as smart as investing in a basement storage room. You may get a flood and ruin your shit, but at least it was cheap.
>>134873034
I just buy mine off of Newegg. You need to have a device to read tape, but they aren't that much.
>>134877392
Can you link me one? Looking on newegg or google for lto drives, they're in the $2000+ range.
>>134866928
I do. I use external HDDs.
I have several dozen /a/utists archiving it so I don't have to worry about it.
