So /e/, what do you use for storage? I'm currently using a 1GB flash drive, but can data corruption become an issue when it starts to fill?

Also, suits/office wear.

DVDs. Takes an hour to burn at most and you get 4 gigs for 50 cents. You can buy a pack of a 100 for $30 so it's even cheaper.

Externals die five times as fast as normal hard drives.

umm... internal drive? is there something wrong with that?
>> Anonymous

Pretty much. They always need to be removed safely before turning the power off and/or disconnecting them and they get a lot more shocks than internal ones and are moved around a lot more.

I use a 2 gb flash drive embedded in my watch.
Alternatively, a 1GB SD card I keep in my Wii.

i've been storing stuff on disks but they have a change of getting scratched and what not
was thinking about a portable hard drive, but idk how long that would last
usb sounds good but some of the stuff i have r pretty large in size

Are you talking about storage for /e/ things? TrueCrypt for encryption is actually really simple (though they give you lots and lots of options when setting things up, the defaults are all perfectly fine).
>> TheFirstFallen
maybe an internal drive would be good
>> Anonymous
Right now I'm using an old server but it only has 240GB of storage and its getting full, I've been trying to find an external 1TB drive for less then 500$ that supports gigabit ethernet that doesn't suck.

Don't DVDs die out faster than HDs?

It's called a hard drive, and you can actually fit porn into it.

Truecrypt is good, works wonders for me.

How much ecchi do you have, anyway? I've only got like 180mb, so storaging isn't a problem...

Hmm, that's about the size of my smallest subfolder.
Total size of my 4chan folder: 5gb.

I use my hard drive. But unlike some people I don't save every picture I see.

Quality over quantity.

I have about 700 MBs of Quality, not just /e/ mind you. I just store them in my documents in my porn folder, labeled porn. When I move into a dorm or apartment I'll probably start encrypting my porn, but since I'm the only computer literate person in the house capable of breaking passwords I just password protect my laptop account.

I got an extra hard drive for first time, I'm an oldfag here but used to be too young for a job. I'm finally working and making money. Though I didn't pay for the extra harddrive, won it at hard drive give a way for companies. So without wanting to google it, I got truecrypt too. Is there a way to password the extra internal drive? I figure I can disconnect it when not using so most people won't know about it. But for the few people who are aware of it... like to be able to password it. Then maybe encrypt all the files.

I have one 500 GB drive to hold all my anime (~360GB atm), and i use my system drive (750GB) to hold my image collection. Last time I checked it was around 104GB.

I save only what I really like, and I have a laughable 2gb of stuff in my small 160gb hard drive, mostly /e/... and although I cannot erase it, I don't really know what I keep 'em for... I mean I don't even fap to those pictures, I have actual pron for that.

You can have a job when you're in college. I did.

The only time you're "too young" to have a job is when you're too young to have one by law. IE: under 16 (in America, anyway). If this isn't the case for him, then he wasn't "too young", he just didn't want/have a job.

Repost from /toy/: Hide the flash drive in a LEGO brick.
>> Anonymous
>>526689

Bad plan. Then you build a castle with it in accidentally and never ever find it again.

And if for some strange reason you don't build Lego castles regularly, a Lego brick would not be exactly inconspicuous.

only if you pull it out without using either something that came with the flashdrive, or is built into your computer that "ejects" or disconnects the flash drive

Data corruption when it fills up is only a problem if you have a bootleg that pretends to have more capacity than it really does, and when the system tries to write past the capacity, even pretends that this was successful. Then you'll get a nasty surprise when you try to read it back again...

There are tools to test this, though, and if you buy a good brand from a reputable merchant it shouldn't be a problem.

life expectancy is ~ 70 years for a dvd of good quality in a suitable environment, if you buy cheap ones they just last for some weeks. taiyo yuden are among the best.

hard drives last for approx. 10 years i think i've read somewhere, there's mechanical wear and the magnetic fields change with time. external ones aren't good for long term storage.

I'm betting mostly douijins. What else would take up that much space?
