I use an Ikea Expedit but they dont make them any more. I think the new version is called a Kallax

Don't use seagate, get toshiba or wd instead.

a bunch of burned CDs in jewel cases categorized by genre

>>60688376
I just use spotify.

I use a WD Elements 500 GB hard drive and it's pretty good 8/10 would buy again if breaks (I hope not I have all my music there)

Buy a USB/SATA enclosure and an SSD drive

i have wd 2tb hardrive works good was cheap

I've been using a WD Passport 500gig since 2009, no problems at all. Gonna invest in something newer because it's nearly full and will lay this one to rest as a backup.

Also most expensive. Just make sure you run regular scans on your hdd so you can replace it before it fails. Save yourself a few hundred and get more storage.

I got my WD mypassport 2TB for like 80 bucks after shopping around. 2TB SSDs run around 600-800. And there's still potential for failure in SSDs.

>>60689393
so you rec doing external hard drives still?

>>60689641
Me personally, yes. The main advantage of SSDs in the current market is faster startup times, so I'd never recommend SSD for media storage. Your SSD just needs to be big enough for your OS and important programs and program files. External HDDs are the way to go for cheap and reliable media storage.

I keep it on my laptop with 2 external back ups updated on the first of every month.

>>60689811
could you recommend me a reliable as fuck external hdd, everything ive looked at has people talking about failures and its scaring me

>>60688376
i had to get an external hard drive once i hit the limit for my computer space

whats wrong with Seagate?
I got a 1tb Seagate from Costco for like 60$.

>>60689969
Basically just avoid Seagate. They have a pretty high failure rate according to Backblaze's data:

I'd go with a WD or Samsung drive, maybe Hitachi, cause I'm pretty sure both have good warranties on them and are cheap. WD and Hitachi have pretty low failure rates according to Backblaze.

As for specific sizes, that's up to your budget.

>>60689393
Also have a 2tb wd. Fucking love it

>>60690142
Quality control, their items break easier than their competitors.

can you play the music off the hard drive once you back it up? like, to free space?

>>60690926
yes. it acts just like a regular drive

>>60688449

this, I know it's pleb but it's so much more convenient than downloading hundreds of gigs worth of songs when you can just stream them anywhere

>>60688376
buy CDs

>>60689098
good luck with instantly downloading 30gb of obscure albums, pleb. especially when they're only seeded like 10% of the time so it takes weeks to get a single album
