How much disk space do you need for your anime?
>>144145867
Says the faggot.
>>144145744
Around 1TB
>>144145931
What about DVD or Blu-Ray rips for anime with bad encodes or no encode at all?
Autists hoarding files are the only reason 90% of shows are even watchable today
>>144145867
You're faggot for streaming.

I only save anime I like
I delete all the rest. It doesn't end up being much, excluding the huge backlog of course.

Wow this place sure has gone to shit. You can pretty much smell the "I don't watch anything older than 2010" from these posts
67.06 GB
I recently deleted some older stuff to make room for more, but then I realized there's nothing I want to watch.
I only need one tab of my browser
>>144146703
H.266 Will never happen.
The trend these days seem to be larger file size over processing power.

Just read the fucking manga. If you're going to waste that much disk space then at least download something good.
>>144145744
40 gb. Once the season is over I just erase everything.
>>144146454
by 2020 I will be fucking dead.

I read that as dick space.
None
I do however have about 4 TB of eroge
who has two thumbs and couldnt figure out how to installl FSNthe 3rd hard drive is manga and VNs
There's probably less than 10 anime I actually want to rewatch, so around 200gb.
I've mostly stopped updating this directory though.
>>144146454
>Being american
I only need a few hundred GBs of storage for my anime. My manga on the other hand takes up over 1.6TB
>>144146454
>be murrikan
our police and shit care so little about anything that isn´t local and murrika is so disliked here that nothing ever is gonna happen.
The only trouble i ever had was for downloading a local made movie.
I watch anime on my laptop and along with my visual novels it takes up about 100 gb of the 150 gb I have. I'm getting an external hard drive soon so I can stop deleting shows I finish.
>>144153618
Where do you download your manga?
The question of this thread isn't "how much of a fucking pleb you are streaming or deleting", the question is "how much do you store". If you don't fucking store it, you don't even count. No, your opinion on this matter doesn't count for shit if you don't even collect anime. You do not even qualify for this conversation.
Anime: 849GiB
Manga: 356GiB
The bulk of the rest is movies, music, games, ect
>>144157678
Where do you download you're manga
>>144157758
Mostly from the scanners websites as they release them. Sometimes BakaBT and other sources if I'm looking for older ones.
>>144157904
Thanks.
>>144145744
Where do you guys download it
![Vk0eTfxD-[1].png](https://i.imgur.com/nSkEjp5.jpg "Vk0eTfxD-[1].png")
I'd post my actual anime folder since it looks nice with icons on folders, but I haven't gone through to update seasonal shows and a few besides that with icons yet.
>>144145744
29TB for anime
21TB for manga
>>144158027
Naisho desu yo
>>144157956
There's also Madokami, but I try to avoid it since I'm looking for original files not reader rips or repacks.

Those where the good ol' days.
I'm running out of space, what's the best brand of external hard drives?

>>144145744
>>144158300
Get a NAS, load it up full of 6tb reds, and set up a RAID 1 (mirror) for each pair.
Hard-drives do eventually fail, why bother saving it if you're going to lose it all when it crashes?
>>144158209
The kami normally has the stuff right from scanlators unless it is a new or ongoing series. Even those end up with shit from scanlators at a later date when someone comes through and cleans it up. Kami is meant to be a community task, if it doesn't have the originals, you should really replace the files yourself for everyone else.
>>144152725
You know you're supposed to leave 5% of the drive empty so your files don't start getting fragmented as fuck right?
Google if you think I'm making shit up.
>>144158888
so thats why ny previous pc wouldnt let me defrag and exploded eventualy
I have like ~1.5 TB on my external HDDs. Not that I actually need to save anime since I never rewatch it.
>>144145744
>started watching anime in2012
>going back and watching old 80s-90s anime
Its bretty good>>144146875

What's a good NAS?

i think i have 4-8tb

It's 50gb for 20 episodes, how do I re-encode it?
>>144162052
You don't, accept your grain.
>>144161622
Any low power PC
>>144145744
Loads.
I archive around 600 gigs, leaving me with around 300 to spare.
About 5TB according to AniDB.
Everything stored externally on HDDs.
>>144145744
15 TB.
>>144153299
So let me get this straight.
You're using 22 TB for 379 anime?
Is everything you have on there coalgirls rips of extremely long running shounen anime?
What the fuck?
>>144145744
0KB
>>144145744
Around 15 GB? I delete most anime after watching it, only keep BD files of my favorites, and eventually delete those I won't be rewatching anyways.
>>144163280
Uhm, are you retarded? If he has 7123 files that means each file is around 383 MB. That's perfectly normal.
>>144163280
Wew, just realized that's only a 2.6TB folder on a 26TB volume.
My mistake.

It's almost time for me to expand.
>>144145744
This one is dedicated to moe shit.
I have another array dedicated to porn.
>>144155241
I found a few torrents someone posted on here, and those make up the vast majority of it
I'm rapidly running out of space on two 3TB hard disks in my NAS Tower.
About 200GB.
I only keep what I find worth rewatching, everything else would be wasted space.
>my old HDD died
>lost over 1tb of anime, images and porn
I haven't recovered from that yet. Most of the shows I can get again for archiving purposes, but there was so much old hentai that I can't find anymore.
I'm currently using around ~2,5tb spread between several drives for my weeb needs.
I spread my shit out across multiple HDDs and back everything up so it takes up more room than it really should.
>1tb for the full collection
>1tb backup (mostly just for the sake of having a portable copy)
>600gb backup of my favourite series
>400gb for ongoing seasonal anime and backlog
>200gb for manga
I'm an autist about having nice icons for every single folder so it also takes up more time than it should.
>>144146454
My country might be a shithole, but just last year one of our courts BTFO'd the jews that wanted to force ISPs to ban torrents and said that's never happening.
What do you think?
Not anime per se, but how do you store anime related media (images, gifs, webms)?
Since forever I've just been storing them in my 4chan anime subfolder, categorized by season and show. Thing is I put everything in there, including pixiv artwork, screenshots, etc. that's not even 4chan related.
I always think about separating everything better but it seems like a nightmare to reorganize.
>>144146122
Especially a lot of older shows. Gotta give it to a lot of the oldfags and nostalgiafags that kept all that shit on VHS.
>>144146593
>Download Fujiko Mine
