10TB Western Digital USB 3.0 external HDD for $180

I could NEVER fill that much storage.

Honestly, why would you want a drive that large? What if it crashes.

I currently have a RAID 5 config of 4 3TB harddrives on my main desktop for all my app installers, videos, music, etc.. I plan on moving those drives to my server and recreate the same Raid 5 so I'll be using the external drive to back up all that data then move it back to the original drives once I've put them on the server and use the external as a backup solution
 
Plus since I download tv series and movies in higher quality, the file sizes are much larger so movies that used to be 700MB in avi format are now in mp4 and mkv format and easily well over 5GB for good quality worth streaming to a large screen tv

I have that much and more. Music and pictures chew up a lot.

But the rule of thumb is: you should always have 3 backups; optimally one of which is hard (CD, DVD). The move here would be to get two of these drives and just backup your stuff to both.

no one uses cd or dvds anymore fam. The new rule is having onsite and offsite backups, offsite could mean through the cloud or keeping a backup at a friend's house in case your house catches fire.

I use newsgroups for the most part though bittorrent is an alternative option. I use Sonarr to download my tv series automatically. As soon as it hits the net, Sonarr grabs it and places it in a folder so I can watch it later. For movies, I go to NZB Geek (https://nzbgeek.info/) but you need to have an active newsgroup account to use that.

Newgroups are a still a thing? I remember back in the day I use to hate fucking with those .par files.

Just D/L'ed Sonarr. So once the series is available on the net, it will provide you with the link to download?
 
Usually costs $300 and the 32GB flash drive is a nice extra bonus

Newsgroups still in play?!?

You may have to give us a tutorial.

No it does the download for you as well. You configure a client that handles the download and Sonarr does the handshake between the client and where it pulls the files from. Everything is done for you. What I like best is that Sonarr also has a calendar so that you can keep up to date for every tv series to know when episodes will air, when series premiere, when the season/series finales will happen, which ones have been successfully downloaded, and which are in queue.

Apologies I meant I use usenet. I still confuse it with newsgroups sometimes though the premise is very similar. Either way I use Frugalusenet for my service and haven't had any issues with it over the past year
 
i have three 4TB drives and about 6 1TB drives.
i havent even used two of the 4TB drives yet.

That is why I want to get a NAS and setup a raid! If one crashes it still has my data and I can replace the drive.

Damn....Can't beat that. Good info
 
I just ordered mine. But now I'm thinking do I want to add 1 more. I'm thinking Raid for all my music. Then store away my other drives as backup.
 
Get one of those Synology boxes, makes settings up a NAS easy

Thought about the Synology DS918+, but I use Plex and the Western Digital PR4100 has upgradeable memory and has hardware specifically setup for transcoding. So I got the 4 4tb drives that I will use 3 for raid 0 and 1 to hot-swap giving me give or take 8tb.

I just need to pull the trigger and drop 5bills for the NAS, but family and shyt around the house got me being responsible and shyt.
