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...

For me personally, I only keep things I find worth rewatching, so about 50% I delete after. Same with e-books. Games I don't really pirate (or only pirate them to see if I can run them on my computer). Usually I buy them on Steam and that's good enough, even though sometimes you lose access to them. I tend to not go back to older games.
