If only I had disk space but between 500 GB Skyrim VR and 500 GB msfs and few other such things my measly 5tb space is crowded.
And the problem with these big modded games is that once you uninstall it it is very time consuming to reproduce same result. Modded Skyrim VR for example modlist was long ago abandoned for something much smaller because it was impossible to maintain by the author. I need to buy some kind of oversized HDD and store such modded games maybe packing them with some kind of installer. It would be nice to rent cloud space for kind of custom steam for modded games.
I remember when 1tb was like a lot and nowadays I have like 20 of such disks around the house and still drowning in data, maybe because of around 15 tb of family photos and videos.
So with all that I feel like I have only 100gb for permanent seeding because that space goes first I guess. I am so drowning in data. Even have 4 old phones waiting perpetually for recovering data maybe it is gone already actually f knows. I think I need at some point to buy 50 tb drive for 1500 or so. Painful purchase but like I don’t see any other way
8TB disks are reasonable to get nowadays. Get a NAS that you can slot 6 of them in, set up parity raid and you got 40TB easily accessible, decently redundant storage. Much better than a single 40TB disk, and probably still cheaper
I want to utilise my old rasp pi and/or 10400f “old” matx pc with all parts. I need some kind of central home server for storage, jellyfin, seeding torrents and some other self hosted cool things but I am still figuring out where to physically put it even and what kind of case and too many decisions left me paralysed to be honest. As I also want it to look cool. Maybe I will just try to score some used server. In other words I want to do everything and so I don’t really have anything yet but some day it will kick in and I will do it in two days probably
Get an older Antec cade on Ebay, the one with 6 DVD bays. Load it up as a homeserver + seedbox + media burner.
