For me that was one of the worst financial moves ever made.

How so?

Well, for the amount of money I spend on hard drives and other hardware I could subscribe to Netflix for about 30 years.

How much disk space do you need?

I have a simple 500GD HDD ($25) and a 230GB (?).

I also have $120 worth of DVD and CD for ~$60 thanks to Goodwill

Fits nicely.

My current raw capacity is at 160 TB.

Don't forget some people run RAID, which means you need duplicates of the HDD. That really adds up.

My only pain is destroying all those VCD/SVCDs and shitload of DVD-Rs full of .avi files.

All garbage when watching from modern high def TVs.
