You only have one drive? I have like 6
What do you need 6 for?
Uhh
Mostly family pictures. Definitely not copyright infringement, that's for sure
Even if I was a prolific pirate with hundreds of gigabytes of mostly decades-old anime across my several hard drives, I would never admit to it
The human race is my family, therefore any media I may have are just family films
That's so wholesome
Look at all these videos of your step moms doing things!
Most of us don't have a need for that amount of built-in storage. External drives and even USB memory sticks meet the needs of probably 95% of people. I don't begrudge you your mega-storage system (I think it's pretty cool), but I have a 1TB SSD and a 2TB external, and I have plenty of storage. Granted, I'm not doing anything graphic or audio intensive. If I didn't have kids or didn't have to work full time, I'd probably need more, but with my available free time and budget, this works.
I've got just shy of 70TB of storage at home. 4k hdr movies use lots of space!
We used to get more and more disk space until we got SSD. I hate modern laptops having just 1 TB drives and having to connect external drives all the time.
I've got at least 400 GB in photos, an 80 GB music collection, then the OS needs space, maybe you'll have multiboot, and maybe you also want some games that somehow require many gigs nowadays. I've got 3 TB in my laptop and I'm constantly cleaning up to have some space.
Let me introduce you to our lord and saviour, the torrent.
