Let's Talk about Data (Personal)

@scottalanmiller Yeah. I am finding less and less stuff to store.... Maybe after I have kids, this will change.

Biggest files would be raw 5k video from the Red Epic. 240GB is the bigger ones and that is about 14min of video.

Traveling does it too. Doesn't take too much to start having loads and loads of photos.

I still have about 500 LPs I'd like to convert but it takes too much time.

I need more space for my movies & all the music I download....I have an obsession with music, all kinds..... hopefully getting C@C soon.

That won't give you much storage though. Time to get a NAS.

Are you planning to use it for storage? Cloud servers are not good for storage.

Not figured out what I'm going to use them for yet, still researching my options

I guess I am weird..... I store very little data.

I stopped storing movies/tv because I have been able to find whatever movies/tv I want on Netflix. Hulu Plus, etc. Anything I can't find on streaming, I can buy on Amazon. I don't watch much TV or Movies anyways.

I don't feel the need to store music with many of other good options (Youtube, Music Services, etc.)

I don't store a ton of photos.

I have a huge colletion of PDF's and eBook, but I am not storing them.......

I do store ISO's in onedrive.

I do store personal documents (encrypted) - tax returns, etc

I think you're probably normal. I'm the same. I don't know how much I have but I suspect it's around 100gb - nearly all of which is photos and music.
