>entire base of all JP and US versions of all individually released game titles for Saturn, PSOne, N64, Dreamcast, PS 2, Gamecube, and original first X-Box, combined altogether, weighs in at roughly ~63TB (actually closer to 62.55TB, or 62552-something GB) of raw (uncompressed) storage space
>64TB HDDs/SSDs won't become mainstream until 2028 at the earliest
>I'm currently 35 years old and will be 44 by the time this happens
>mfw that day comes when I'll finally be able to buy just one HDD/SSD and fully preserve entirety of Saturn, PSOne, N64, Dreamcast, PS 2, Gamecube, and original X-Box, by merely storing all of their games on one single drive and then just buying more of the same drive from time to time to make backup copies off of it (for "cold storage" purposes or etc) occasionally

Cxbx-reloaded is gonna make it happen!!!!

Does exactly the same as what you want to achieve.
Why do you want to "preserve" games like Barbie's Playtime, 1080 Snowboarding or Madden 1998? You could cut that 60tb down to 5tb EASILY and still just be left with everything worthwhile.
>no good 360 emu
No one cares. There's barely any worthwhile exclusives
>no good ogbox emu
Cxbx Reloaded has been very solid recently:

At this point that would probably have more sense to generate the games on the fly. Sadly, by 44 you'll likely stop caring about this shit.

Congrats bro
Well then backup that shit in another similar box.

>retard doesn't understand the concept of "store FUCKING EVERYTHING on one FUCKHUEG drive and then backup THAT drive with the SAME drive, instead of doing retarded dumbass shit as buying multiple smaller driver and prone-to-failure RAID them"
>Yea Forums
Why am I not surprised?
Ok then wait 8 years incel freak.
I'm so glad PS3 emulation is coming along nicely, just a few years ago it was still all "anything other than 2d games/homebrew will never be emullated", and before that "PS3 will never be emulated".
Now we're at the point where many games are completely playable and games can be played at higher FPS and resolution than on the PS3 itself.
Even MGS4 is getting to the point it's playable

Not him, but are you retarted?
Then what’s the point of the RAID moron
Just copy anything you need to your SSD would be quicker and easier and less failure risk
>Why do you want to "preserve" games like Barbie's Playtime, 1080 Snowboarding or Madden 1998, etc--
Torrenting/sharing/online databases hosting, the usual stuff. Also, obviously, natural urge to save content for future generations (my children, children of their children, and etc., or at the very least for whoever finds those HDDs/SSDs in my underground bunker after I perish in an upcoming WW III/IV/V and further down the line).
>I'm so glad PS 3 emulation is coming along nicely
>entire game base, which is roughly ~3600-something titles documented to date, weighs in at basically 180TB
OOF. I guess you and me won't see the time when all of that shit will be able to be stored on a single drive (unless it's quartz crystals tech, or similar).
Reading comprehension is really not one of your fortes at all, eh, kid? Tough cookies.
he said he wants 64gb in one place.
Well you yourself said you gotta wait 8 years for a drive as large as that. I gave you a perfectly reasonably option you can use right now and you chimped out.
>gb
>RAID 0
>of anything bigger than 2TB
>highly sensitive, hard-to-obtain data
>perfectly reasonable option
Kys kindly, please.
Why does it have to be one drive?
You’ll never have everything you want on one drive
But the time 64TB drives come out movies will be 8k and you’ll need another drive just for movies
And what about music, books, games, anime, manga?
>You’ll never have everything you want on one drive
Learning comprehension is really not your forte at all, huh.
use raid 5 then incel but you gotta buy more drives.
>paying more for less
>prone to failure
>higher power draw and temps
>takes up more space
>anything below RAID 6
>perfectly reasonable
I told you - kys already.
Yes, please explain the “one drive” meme to me
If it’s laziness from having to backup multiple drives I’m saying you can’t avoid that if you’re serious about preserving shit
Literally read the OP, you illiterate autist.
I did, he says he wants everything on one drive but doesn’t explain why
Is it OCD? Will he have an anxiety attack if all his ROMs aren’t in one place?
You literally cannot into reading comprehension, holy shit. Are you 5? Even a minor would immediately understand what has been talked about in the OP.
I think I was right and you’re just going into defence mode
Please explain
>tfw will only be 30 in 2028
>he absolutely unable to count 2+2
...my deepest condolences to your family/relatives.
GTFO, zoomer toddler.
I’m sorry for your OCD, but trust me, your family will not be killed if your Sega roms are on the F drive while the Sony isos are on the E drive
It’s okay to even put the Nintendo roms on the G drive!
>holy shit, he LITERALLY cannot-fucking count
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH, OH WOOOOOW
They have pills for OCD user
>63TB of data
>what's better:
>put it ONCE onto one 64TB drive and then back it up occasionally with an additional drive of the same size (1-to-1 copy for cold storage purposes, ONCE)
>or
>spread it across several smaller drives (greatly increasing power envelope and failure rates/chances, and largely decreasing spare/free space in a PC case/NAS/etc), going between the drives often to "update" (essentially shuffle) the data due to the smaller sizes of the said drives
>DUUUUURRR, MORE SMALLER DRIVES BETTURRRRR! BUY MOAR DRIVES INSTEAD OF JUST ONE!
In all 12 years of me being a poster on 4chins, never ever before did I met anyone with a such clearly pronounced and absolutely apparent down syndrome as you.
