How much storage do you use up for anime?

About 30 gigabytes (as much as my 4chan folder)
2TB

I only keep space for weekly episodes
>>142111691
I have 390 MB free.
About 5TB of archived stuff so far.
>>142111994
This. Why the fuck people archive entire seasons if they can just torrent it if they want to watch it again?
>>142111691
Most of the shows I watched I delete them right away. It would be too many to save them all and I might not rewatching most of them anyway

Not much at the moment. Lost a hard drive so my main collection is FUBAR.
Only 70GB of actual anime, and 50GB of fanart.

>Storing anime
>Not commit it to your brain memory via photographic memory
I only keep the ones I know I will rewatch or if it's just really fuckin good.
so a little less than 150gb
>>142111691
I had 3*3Tb full, but removed most of the backlog and completed shows, so it's now about 2Tb total on all drives.
This external and about another TB on my internal. It's slowly growing larger as I get around to downloading shit I missed
>having all this anime in your storage
>still feel miserable
What do
>>142112088
Just enough for airing seasonal shit, backlog, and stuff that has rewatch value for me. It just think it's a waste to archive shitty anime you've already watch. I mean what kind of situation would you need to keep the usual harem trash. You probably watched it with a shit eating grin like I did but you wouldn't rewatch it.

>>142112038
Seeders.
It also contains some manga, both seasons of The Hero Yoshihiko and the Grumpy Jii-san videos some anon uploaded a while ago
>>142112382
That's pretty admirable.
Huh I seem to have almost 3 TB full now, last time I checked I barely pushed 2TB.
I guess it's time for a clean up.
>>142111691
Three TB drives are full of anime, image galleries and erogames, about 600Gb used on my main drive for seasonal shows that I haven't transfered over yet
>>142112382
Obviously, you will have to deal with getting BD repacks instead individual episodes.
>>142111691
177GB. I don't have a long backlog; never saw the point in downloading something if I'm not going to watch it soon. And I rarely re-watch anime.
>>142112221
This. Although I have 1tb full. That's more of a reflection of me downloading faster than I can watch, though.
Currently around 250GB of anime and 40GB of manga. I used to stream, but I stopped doing that and started downloading everything.
6Tb or so.
>>142112432
What's the problem with that?
>>142111691
none
>>142112290
About 2.5 TB out of 3 TB right now.

I can never watch the same thing twice, it feels sickening to me.
>>142111691
Just deleted my archive and redownloading all of it in hi10p encode. Saves space.
Most of the space I need is for DVD/BD rips. I buy a lot of stuff myself too and most of it I haven't even yet ripped. Comes up to 2.5+ TB (2.88TB for my "rips" folder but it's not all anime). I still have a bunch of partly downloaded series in qbittorrent too, can't afford to download it all at once because of download cap. After ripping all my stuff and downloading what's in my client I think it will exceed 3.5TB easily.
I keep good encodes of good movies too, especially BD encodes of grainy old movies can be 10+GB and it would be a pain to redownload. I delete most stuff I wouldn't rewatch though. Same with TV series. I also keep stuff that I remux (usually to fix subs or add subs to raws) or encode myself, and rare VHS rips even if it's shitty YouTube rips. I've already seen a few deleted from YT and not available anywhere else, and shit rips usually don't take much space anyway so it's worth it.
Then I keep some stuff on backlog, but most of it is just paused at 0% in qbittorrent if it's on BBT or not likely to be deleted or unseeded any time soon.
>>142112290
>backlog just keeps growing
>>142111691
5-6TB
If I really like the show, I'll keep a FLAC copy around.
If not, I just store it as some shitty h264 compression.
So most of my archive is full of < 10gb per cour rips, helps keep space conserved.
How the fuck can you guys afford multiple-terabyte drives?

A 2TB drive costs less than $100 these days, and anything below 4TB is fairly stable.
>>142112582
Are several, smaller drives "safer" than one big one? If so, I'd rather have the higher cost and hassle of the former.

Why do you guys save shows? I just delete them after I finish watching them, they're stored in my head anyway. I only rewatch shows a few years afterwards if I want, and I'll just redownload them.
But besides that, I support the studios by buying BDs and crunchyroll
>>142113184
Higher risk of drive failure until they've been making those bigger drives for a while, and being overpriced as well.
And on another note I didn't even know they were making 8TB drives already.
I stopped doing that when nothing came out of that TPP thing. That's the last time I'm falling for the doomsday meme.

Some shit's hard to find, or might take fucking forever to download. And some people are stuck with data caps and shit like that so they probably don't want to have to redownload shows if they can avoid it, thankfully I don't have that problem though.
I delete everything after every season.

how
What's the best hard drive I can buy under $100?
After I quit watching airing shows, I kept downloading for a while but it got harder and harder. It's a long and difficult process.
Step 1: find the best release (quality, subtitles)
Step 2: download it (coalgirls: 40gb for 20 episodes)
Step 3: reencode it to 8 bit so I can watch on my other devices
Step 4: copy it to my other devices (a problem because a 40gb show doesn't fit on everything)
Etc.
After a few repetitions of this I just quit, I'm full kissanime now. I have to admit, they have an amazing site. They have every anime, even the most obscure ones, with all ovas and specials too. Just click and stream. Sure, the quality isn't perfect, and with grainy shows it can get pretty bad, but I have bad eyesight anyway so it's okay.
When I was neet I had no problem with the downloading routine, but now I'm a functioning person, I don't have time to waste. Click and stream, if I don't like the show I didn't waste 40gb of bandwidth and time.
>>142113536
because anime is shit?
>inb4 edgy cunt
no really, there are only 3 anime series 1 movie and 4 ovas that I have stored in my disk, everything else is just deleted.
only 68gb of anime in my disk.
>>142112322
Nope, just nyaa.
>>142112038
Because there have been too many times where I've missed something seasons ago and there have been no seeds for it. I now routinely download every show per season.
All I have to do is setup an RSS feed, and then download stuff automatically to a phone in my pocket at work on their public wifi. Storage is cheap and I have a freeNAS box at home, the only downside is having to buy a new extra disk every few years.
I just ate on a shoestring budget for a few months and saved up in a few months to buy a 4TB, I have no income I managed this just off the money my dad sends me to eat and pay rent with while I'm in uni. It's not that hard, I'm so going full NAS once I have a place of my own.
And before you say "part time job", it's illegal under a student visa here.
>>142111691
I think 100GB is my limit.
>>142111691
>>142113801
You could get a Toshiba 3TB for $88, or a Western Digital 2TB Red for $89
WD probably makes the best quality hard drives on the market right not but I haven't heard anything bad about Toshiba's. Just avoid Seagate.
>>142113792
I download at least 20 doujins a day including tanks.
>>142113721
My first experience with " corrupted data" was with a WD. Took out around 150 gigs
>>142112525
Hi there.
>>142113842
You know you could've just downloaded normal-sized encodes and mp4 reencodes for your other devices.
I've never done that "best release" thing because frankly it's a waste of space.
I have a 1TB archive full of only shows that I love and a 200gb backlog. Plus a separate folder where my rss feed puts currently airing shows.
>>142113792
It's really easy when there are like at least 10 new English translated doujins/hmanga/tanks a day.
I was just grabbing releases every two days or so for the regular fap and a 2-3 weeks later I ended up with like 30GB of the stuff.
175GB
not that much, 1.6TB
>>142111691
Just anime, including all the duplicates and backups, over 20 TB, on 7 different physical drives.
17GB for anime. 100GB for visual novels, light novels, and manga.
>>142113928
Western digital also signed an agreement with one of the ABC agencies for backdoor access software
>>142113133
PCI-e sata cards are a thing.
>>142114095 (same person as me)
I usually delete anime as soon as I finish watching it.
>>142113842
How much did you get paid for this post?
Fuck if you wanna be lazy just get horriblesubs 480 or 720p.
>reencode
Why don't you have not shit devices that can play everything? If you're talking about proprietary shit like a playstation, just don't watch it on that. If you're at home anyway, just use your computer. Tablets can play anything nowadays.
Not too heavy yet
>>142112088
Quality is blurry and hard to seek depending on the steam player. Also quality is too poor for screenshots and making webms. After season is over it can be deleted.
>>142114198
Yeah right.
You have about 10 times my storage full with anime.
How is that not heavy?
I'd be willing to bet a ton of these people posting huge file sizes are just renaming their drive to take a screencap.
If you actually have 5tb of anime take a picture of the folder contents and prove it.

>>142113267
I'm curious, how does one "ironically" stream anime? Open it up in a new window and play it minimized?
>>142114037
>>142114158
Even if mp4 reencodes had seeders, they're still files and have some size, I would still have to download and copy them. There's nothing easier than click and play without downloading. I'm not trying to advertise, I just got tired of delays when I want to watch something. Anime is just a side hobby, it's no longer a super prominent part of my life. I still can watch 5 or 6 episodes a day, but the amount of time I save by not downloading is huge, and I can spend that time doing other things.
>>142112902

I wish I could have three windows:

But since I don't have anything that can restore all three windows, I just have everything in one window, and it's a mess.
Nothing triggers me more when i see someone with several unnecessary tabs opened.

So it's not the browser, but the web pages loaded into memory. That's like running hundreds of notepad.exe processes and complaining the program is bloated. And I can't fathom why anyone would need that much tabs open; it's utterly inefficient and poor management on your part.

People really do that? Open 80 tabs and use them all at the same time?
>>142116151
Maybe you don't belong here Mr. I only have reddit frontpage and 1 4chin thread open.
>>142116070
Didn't even watch it. I horde and archive stuff just in case.

>Or are you just Xing the windows instead of properly pressing exit?
Yes, I am. What "exit" are you talking about? I tried FF, Chrome and Opera.

I have 5 other Desktops around the house, each has a few additional TB to help back it up.
It's not 100% backup'd though.
Although most of my collection isn't worth backing up...
>>142116208
Yep, each and every tab is used atleast 10 times a day then they are closed after i'm done with them.

Thread watcher solves that

Is it true that people get fined for torrenting?

Hi, Tosh.

Hiya
>>142116328

>>142116291
Don't forget wiki articles, news articles and so forth.

Way too slow.
Upgrading my RAID is going to be such a pain.
I have about 2 terabytes of anime, most still unwatched. I'm working through it, I swear!
I only keep shows that are great! And if the show is bad but the OP/ED are epic, I'll delete all but one episode so I can listen whenever I want!
Oh, and I have 32GB RAM, but only 6 GB is in use, though almost 26GB is cached.
>>142111691
I stream shows that I'm watching but not really invested in
I download shows that I'm watching and enjoying
>>142116024
try re-watching an anime you watched 8 years ago and I guarantee you that you'll still enjoy it
also anime is a waste of time to being with
