And why was it only after you realized your Golden Girls directory ballooned past 200GB?
When I ran out of storage space.
this is the only true answer.
like making backups only when the disk starts clicking.
I’m waiting for the disk to stop clicking before I back it up. Any day now!
Just last week I did a drive clone for somebody who’s disk reported a total runtime of over 9 years. The SMART stats only reported one pending sector and long spin up time but it was making noises that said otherwise.
The clone completed with only three I/O errors.
I got one a few months old that was clicking like something from The Last of Us.
I swear SMART data is the most useless shit.
See, I’ll be fine.
it’s fine, raid0 is a backup right?
You read my mind! Now help me read this dead mechanical drive, would you?
I usually expand when I reach 80% capacity.

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 …
Stripping out the audio tracks for languages I don’t speak reduces the file size a little.
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 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 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
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 the hard drive got full. Luckily, hard drives keep getting bigger and bigger.

When my home server crashed itself from lack of storage lol, I like to keep a 2 to 6tb buffer these days
