For a piracy-oriented community I'm surprised this isn't discussed as much.

Do you ever store media, or delete them after watching? How do you store them?

I personally have 12TB worth of hard drives (3x4TB) in a JBOD configuration. Been wanting to upgrade my hard drives (they're 6 years old) but I'm still a little skeptical of the helium drives and whether they will last...

So far. I only have 3TB in my NAS (RAID5) at the moment. I'll see if the money I save on streaming services will pay for another array by the time I run out of storage.

I just added a bunch of hard disks to my own computer, so my costs were pretty low - if I spread out the cost of my hard drives it's cost about $5 per month so far, and that number's still slowly decreasing every month.
