How does Yea Forums store their anime collection?
My collection is at roughly 10TB now.
I'm just debating whether or not I should start buying Blu Rays going forward
My NAS ran out of space a few months ago, and since then I've filled up an additional 2TB hard drive. Backing everything up is a nightmare too

Is that the anime where a brother and his little sister have a romantic relationship?

I don't. Download, watch, delete.
Benjamin Phillips
Yes, it was anime of the decade
Jace Jones
Do they seriously end up together and kiss? I like incest stories so I want to know
Elijah Nelson
Didn't they get married?

Download selectively. 720p for most tv shows; 1080p only for anime that look like they were mastered at 1080p. Be sensible about bitrates: never grab anything that uses more than 1.5 GB per episode.
New downloads go into my backlog folder until I've watched them. If I think I might realistically rewatch something, it goes into my permanent archive. Everything else gets deleted as soon as I finish it. I review my archive once a year, and delete stuff I no longer care about.
My current collection fits on one 4 TB drive, backed up on one external drive.

People tend to over-complicate their storage
Right now with the two reputable HDD brands (Western Digital and Seagate) you're looking at $20-$30 per terabyte. Good encodes for ~24 minute episodes are 1-2 GB each. That's ~50 single cour shows per TB.
It's not hard to buy a pair of high-capacity 8TB+ drives and just use them over USB. Or take it a step further and wire them up internally via SATA.

>use them over USB
Jesus you are one low tech motherfucker. We're talking about NASes, RAIDS, and proper backups here.

Why invest in high tech when low tech does the job? Besides, if you're going to bother with RAID in the year of our Kami-sama 2019, you might as well set up off-site cloud storage with end-to-end encryption for half the price.
