I've seen many people have insane setups to download things automatically and NAS' with tens of terabytes of capacity, which i don't understand at all.

I have a 1 tb drive from 2013 of which I'm using ~850GB and most of the space is used by series i have already watched and haven't bothered to delete.

What are you storing to need so much space and how are you finding so much good content that you actually want to save?

If you want to automate look into the "Wikiarr" but to answer your question I think many of us are just data hoarders. I try to delete stuff I've watched but I also tend to keep stuff that I've had trouble finding good versions of. I am also building a large music library (currently around 200-250gb) and that's entirely around avoiding crappy streaming services. Most of this collection I either already owned (used to rip ipods id repair for people) or used soulseek/other tools to build.

Personally I'd replace that 10 year old drive as it's probably limited on remaining life even if only lightly used.

I will be changing the drive out some time soon since storage is so cheap nowadays and the disk has almost ~35k POH SMART info from disk
