Data as in information (photos, contacts, messages, etc…), not your mobile internet allowance.

I personally just have photos and a few phone numbers that I can remember, probably around 10-15 GB including a few 4K videos. I have like maybe 20 GB of apps but they are re-downloadable so it doesn’t really count for me. As for PC, I rarely use computers these days, too tired and I’d rather lie down and stare at my phone instead, so I’m not even gonna count my PC data. How much data do you have and whats your total combined storage of all your drives?

Edit: Damn, some people got so much stuff! I personally am relying on faith that the internet and civilization doesn’t collapse so I download stuff whenever I want to watch them and delete them when I’m done with them. Y’all got doomsday bunkers planned out! 😆

    And who does that? I mean, that’s just a huge cost for what? Slightly sharper nipples on screen?

    How often do you think, you’ll watch, say GoT? Twice? Why bother building half a data center in your house for the off chance that you might, at some point, maybe want to consider to watch that one movie again?

    It’s a hobby, I get that. But arguing that it’s useful is like saying you’re restoring that 50s car in your garage for driving to work or grocery shopping. We all know, that’s not the reason.

      Some people just want lossless media.

      And saying it’s a huge cost… 60TB in a raid 5 setup will cost you less than $2k. That’s really not much for most US households. Especially when that setup lasts for years.
