I used to hoard a ton of anime, like every episode every season all organized across a few drives. I had everything from 2010 up to like 2024 and a bunch of older shit too. One day I was like "why, what's even the fucking point I'm never gonna watch any of this shit" and haven't done it sense.

Not that much, but my multimedia drive is a 1.5TB and I'm currently using 1.1 (Shared between anime, books, cartoons, manga, and movies). ROMs and ISOs are on my main SSD and take ~120 GB, they're kept together solely for convenience's sake

That depends. How many TB of movies do you have?

None, because piracy is illegal

Depends on the video codec and quality level of the encodes. At the bottom of the totem pole is ancient H.264, YIFY can cram 1080p movies down to 2-3 Mbps with it but the quality is low. You might get okay quality at 5 Mbps while high quality hovers around 10 Mbps. So assuming 2 hour movies x100, the math goes like this for H.264:

MQ: (5mbps/8) x 60 x120 = ~4.5GB x100 = 450GB
HQ: (10mbps/8) x 60 x120 = ~9GB x100 = 900GB

AV1 would katana slice that in half so the idea that you need TBs for movies is kinda silly desu. Maybe if you're retarded and store the raw 25GB blu-ray 1080p movie mux

I have a very small 50TB digital library.
Probably going to expand to 200TB soonish.

zero, because there are only 20 movies that exist that are worth a second watch, and they cant be burnt to disc that will last ten times longer that a hard drive
