My collection just isn’t in very good quality. For example, all the music is mp3, and the movies are 1080p max (my laptop’s creen is only 1080p anyway). I would not fill even one 16 tb disk in a lifetime.
Safe storage is still expensive just in relative terms.
I bought 4x 16tb drives at 240€ each.
While yes, I could save every album under the sun on there, I still curate what I download/rip because I don’t wanna trash the collection with spam.
Also if you want other stuff like video files it will get tight very fast with space. Especially if you collect stuff that was hard to come by.

Already achieved almost 7 tb in movie files (mid/high 1080p and some rare 4k releases)

Yeah, high-res video will eat those TB quick. I started to clean up my collection - if something really was not good, I stopped watching or lost interest, it goes into the bin. Collecting is great, but there is no reason to keep some mediocre Netflix shovelware around that was canceled after one season.
