What would a normal person need more than 1TB for?

A backup of a backup.

games take up like 60gb now

Lots of hard to find porn.

movies, television, pornography, books, high resolution 4channel memes, and so on.

Am I the only one who keep his favorite movies inside a external hard drive?
I like watch my movies on my "old" tv. The only thing that I need to do is connect my external hard drive to my Blue-ray. I really like watch movies on this way, movies like: Fletch, Bachelor Party, Naked gun, etc.

>normal person
They might keep home movies, copies of their music from vinyl records and CDs, and backups.

I don't know what a normal person would use it for but degenerates here use it to store child pornography.

Games
Family photos+videos
Porn
Work documents
Excel spreadsheets
Cat videos

>Games on HDD

Video games and pictures are the things a normal person would use

music, anime and photos

I try to keep everything I have to under 1tb. I still keep a 2tb drive so there's enough room for redundant backups.

A normal person will be fine with a 256gb SSD plus a backup external drive. Why going all the way to 1TB, especially if it's obsolete tech like harddrives?

>normal people
>playing games on PC
Yeah, nah. Maybe some MMO or League and these are small.

Data hoarding.

But I guess Data Hoarders aren't exactly mentally sane, anyways.

>obsolete tech like harddrives?
harddrives will never be obsolete.
Spinning Trust.

space for old windows 10 update files

To store more than 1TB of data.

Amateur photographers.
Amateur video memories edited and memorialized.
Records abd archives.

Stoopid holiday photos and music.

Define "normal" please

Uncompressed Kontakt libraries.

I keep all of my pirated movies and that takes up a lot of space. It's kind of like a personal Netflix so I can watch any of my favourite movies again if I want to.

Pictures and videos

Data hoarding backups of games that are only available via an online shop (i.e. Nintendo eShop and Playstation Store).

It would be safer to keep 10 HDD of 1 TB.

I want to nakadashi Arin.

define normal. someone who uses their smart phone as a daily driver and only uses a desktop at work?

i am running out of harddrive space

>Maybe even less since streaming is the norm.
What if you're too poor to afford streaming services?

>he doesn't run a private porn collection for his family on his home server
user this is Jow Forums not Jow Forums

I am a normal person and need 2 tb.
Vidya, movies, music, media in general, all use up a ton of space.
Use your brain you dumb fag.

imagine the smell

Modern AAA titles are 50-100GBs a piece.

Given that you need double that space if for example are preloading games it adds up.

I torrent, so I need to seed stuff to be able to download stuff, and to seed stuff I need space.

What am I doing wrong? What alternative to torrenting should I be looking at?

the entire fucking stargate series including all the movies and shit on bluray is about 768gb ALONE

i personally have a small nas about 40tb running for movies/documentaries/anime/series

LoL is trash

>What would a normal person need more than 1TB for?
Some people don't like the pay-for-access model where a movie you can watch today may be gone tomorrow because Herschel wanted more money.
>watching ever

Or, what if you don't agree with streaming services?

>Naked Gun
You should check out Police Squad!, it's Naked Gun in a TV series format. It only lasted for 6 episodes until they figured out it's better off on a silver screen, but still it's funny as hell.

Not dealing with constant storage Tetris trying to keep everything you need installed.

Just get a good 4TB drive instead and never think about storage again.

The same thing was said for other capacity drives over the years but we found ways for them to be eventually needed, who knows what large sized files could be around in the coming years. Holograms?

I don't know. I am not a normal person

So what, it's what normal people play on the PC beyond browser games. Not some meme that needs 60gb because of bloat.

1TB? Why would you want 512GB? What could you ever use 256GB for? I don't have 128GB. Help some madmen is trying to kill me over my empty 60GB drive.

Only that it remained correct until today. Hell, most normal people would be fine with 128gb unless they shoot too much 4k video on their phones. Outside of gaymers, I don't know anyone who got more than 512gb and these people don't even use 1/4th of the capacity either way.

Now obviously there are millions of scenarios to have way more but all of the shit isn't of interesting when talking about the average person.

>Single 4k movie is ~12gigs
>gaymes ~60gig on average
>family and food pictures/videos shot vertically
>"important work documents" folder runs about 200 gigs on average

>200gb of documents
PDF was a mistake.

Not quite, you need to upscale with MadVR for best picture quality if not only watching 2160p Remuxes (my preferred course of action)

Just checked this recently and all SSD NAS came to 4X the price of Rust. We’re nearly there user

theres games that take 200 now

He doesn’t mean actual documents, sweet user

There is a good to fair chance I meant a 20 minute sitcom episode.

>Give parents 4 tb usb external
>Show them how to create a folder and backup their my documents and itunes files
>Worst case I use TeamViewer and do it for them remotely when called
They had a laptop go bust once already since then, took about 2 hours remotely to get them up and running with everything working as before.
>When I visit I also clonezilla the whole drives to same USB drive.
They panic less when they know I can do this and are easier to work with. My sister and 2 aunts now do the same with TeamViewer IDs so if they call I can remote in and help if needed. So figure this, 3-4 image backups of 250 gb can quickly add up when you include straight folder copies as well.

What’s some good backup software based familial user?

not him, but what's the problem?? You'd rather have them on an ssd so that the loading screens are a bit faster? That's not crucial to gaming.
Also, the games aren't necessarily installed. I have many, many gb of pirated games on my hdds, but just a handful of them are installed (on my ssd)

>obsolete tech like harddrives
Spoken like a consumerist moron. SSDs/flash storage isn't suited for unpowered archival, unlike magnetic storage. SSDs will leak electrons over time if left unpowered.

I've got an 80TB NAS just for loli porn

Anime and manga

I just said it. Clonezilla. The rest is just a straight copy of my documents folder and desktop (Links show what programs they installed). As long as they have the license key it will be easy as hell to restore with a few minor questions. Any other consumer backup software is straight up theft or bullshit.

Don't mind the Jow Forums party van outside your house though.

UHD blurays are sizeable.

I'm currently sitting on ~16.4TB of content.

With a hair over 21TB total storage space.

Family photos. Asian families or any boomers who want to digitize their slide collection so they can send it to their $80 digital picture frame

Very old meme and only relevant if you live in a desert.

anandtech.com/show/9248/the-truth-about-ssd-data-retention

same user. haha

And that article is still completely irrelevant as has been discussed here time and time again. And even so a year under ideal conditions is complete and utter dogshit.
It's not unusual to be able to recover HDDs that haven't been online for 2 decades, I have done so myself a couple of times before, and meanwhile at work we have SSDs being completely unrecoverable after mere weeks even in an temperature and humidity controlled room.
Data retention times for flash are horrid and that will not change as long as physics still apply to SSDs.

>Remember that the figures presented here are for a drive that has already passed its endurance rating, so for new drives the data retention is considerably higher, typically over ten years for MLC NAND based SSDs.
Also keep in mind it goes further up at lower temps, even 30° is pretty unrealistic for a backup drive.

Now obviously it's still not as good as HDDs that can last for decades, which has its uses but practically, you're likely to use a backup drive a few times a year in private use, reseting the number each time.

For not knowing they have to remove things from the recycle bin to actually clear up free space.

You can trust me as long as SSDs aren't half the cost per TB as HDDs they will never catch on as archival or backup drives, not in consumers and especially not in enterprise. And they will replace tape sometime after the heat death of the universe.
The cost and chances of recovering data of a SSD whatever happened to it is horrendous.
Most normies I know used SSDs for backup/mass storage exactly once, until the drive died and they asked me to recover their data because they didn't have a copy and I tell them the price we charge at work for SSD recoveries and that depending on what failed they won't get anything back anyways.

>until the drive died
How do people even manage that? Been using SSDs exclusively since 2010, from cheapest trash to fancy NVEm stuff and never had even a hint of an issue. Unlike with harddrives. Don't know anyone with a SSD who had issues either.

If I download my whole Steam library I would probably fill a 10TB HDD
