    I usually expand when I reach 80% capacity.

    And why was it only after you realized your Golden Girls directory ballooned past 200GB?

    Did you find the show in 1080p somewhere? But yeah, I only have 480p and it still takes 70GB.

    Let’s not talk about the 1.1TB Simpsons folder …

    I’m not a hoarder by any means, but my external 2TB drive is finally getting full. I just recently learned just how cheap storage is on a laptop with the 2.5" bays. I’m likely gong to use the new 4TB drive for general storage, then wipe the 2TB drive and move all of my content there.

    When I migrated the Jellyfin server to a NUC instead of the NAS. Now I can get whatever quality I like and just transcode on the fly when necessary. Also picked up some surveillance cameras that I expect will require some storage space.

    14 TB soon full. Considering getting two more drives

    When I decided to host my own personal Plex server. Now I can finally say I have a big D:/

    And yes it is nothing but mixed media.

    The year was 2006, and the 80 GB HDD in my Dell Optiplex 790 was full of podcasts, stolen music, and episodes of Dr. Who…

    When I booted up my PC with a 1tb ssd and installed like 5 large games. It took up a majority of my space. So I got a couple of cheap HDD and a 2tb ssd as well. Worth it. Now I have like 100 games downloaded

    When I finally got a seedbox and started downloading massive amounts of movies, TV shows, games and music (first to the seedbox, then archived everything on my home NAS, deleted everything with lots of seeders from the seedbox to save space, and now I only use it for either new stuff I want to download, or seeding content with very few or no seeders)

    I start collecting new drives for expansion when I reach 80%-100% capacity of the current RAID drive. Currently reaching that point, nearing 60TB.
