There is nothing wrong with big peepee storage

They must have a lot of money. I archive media and the largest hard drives I could find are 20TB and they cost like $400-500 ea.

For pedophiles what I find remarkable is not the volume of storage but the fact that its all CP. From my experience a movie of average length (90-120min) is around 1-1.5 GB at 720p (which is perfectly adequate for the majority of movies, especially older ones). 1080p increases it by anywhere from 50-100%, with higher resolutions scaling upward. On the image side of things my memes folder has thousands of images in it and its only like 2GB. I once had a copy of the rare extended edition of The Good the Bad and the Ugly that was 15gb (fortunately I ended up finding a more reasonable 4gb copy later) so one movie can be more than 7 times the size of thousands of images.

With only 20TB at my disposal I have successfully archived (and backed up) more movies and TV series than necessary to keep a person entertained for a lifetime. To think that there are sickos out there with orders of magnitude more storage spaced thats filled with CP, even if its at the highest conceivable resolution is pure horror.

You scale with more drives instead of bigger ones. 16TB Enterprise drives are like $280 so you just get multiples and pool them together

That makes sense. One guy tried to convince me to set up a RAID system once but I'm a simple man and I wanted a one drive archive, with a back up. Less to fiddle with, less to go wrong, and everything is in one place instead of broken up over different drives. If the main drive has a problem that's what the back up is for. The worst case scenario is both drives failing together, or at least before a replacement can be purchased, but fortunately the odds of that are rare and thoroughly mitigated.

For my 20 drive array, 2 of the drives are used for parity so that the array can be rebuilt when a drive dies or is upgraded without data loss. It's hard to do remote backups when your data is non-critical and it's sitting around 90TB. IDK what cold storage costs are these days but it's still too much for my purposes so I go for local redundancy instead. Also when you automate your media acquisition instead of manually downloading what you want to watch, the data usage starts to tick up pretty quick. Just my movies and TV shows are clocking 80TB+ and they are all h265 encoded to reduce file size

Edit: AWS glacier pricing is $0.00099/GB/month so for 90TB I would be paying ~$90/month for remote storage in the S3 cloud. Not worth it IMO

That's an impressive system. If your process is automated how do you filter it so you don't end up with duplicates or garbage? Do you do any QC? I found 2 broken episodes in my otherwise excellent copy of M*A*S*H in original aspect ratio. I had to replace those episodes with ones from other collections that were unfortunately in the remastered aspect ratio. What's the rarest/most obscure thing you've managed to archive? Mine's probably the sequel to Animal House.

My unobtainium is probably S2 of Code Monkeys (never got a DVD release), maybe Xavier Renegade Angel, or maybe some of the lost media that only exist as VHS rips.

As far as bad copies, I have controls enabled to prevent downloads before official Blu-ray release dates for new movies and since everything pulled in gets transcoded automatically on the driver patched 1050ti to unlock the NVENC encoders, things are generally similar in quality. When there are bad gets, sonarr/radarr have web UIs that make it pretty easy to search all the indexers for particular episodes to overwrite the local copy.

And for duplicates, sonarr/radarr will move/hard link downloads from transmission to the media share and maintain organization/file naming so you don't get duplicates because the files would have the same path and same name

Yea that's way too high tech for me, very nice.

I had to check to be sure but my copy of Code Monkeys does have S2 and the Extras. Here's where I found the sequel to Animal House if you want it, the quality is firmly in the ass tier of still being watchable (in every sense) but the only other source out there is some guy hocking tapes on sketchy websites.

One thing I've been trying to finish downloading for over a year is the second of two 5 part mini series that prequel the 1980s GI JOE cartoon. I have the first but the second is stuck.
