Comment on There are people in first world countries with only 1 hard drive

Besides those drives installed inside other devices, I have like 2 portable ssds and 1 portable hdd totalling like 4 TB
bunch of micro sd cards…
I treat it as an effective 1 TB of storage tho… I mean, I use the multiple storage device as redundancy. I’m not gonna actually treat this as I have 4TBs…
Cloud storage is used as offsite backup.
I have a shitty budget laptop and a steam deck and nintendo switch 2… I haven’t even have the energy to play anything for months… mostly just binge watch anime and stuff…
I don’t have a desktop… I don’t like the idea of a device that’s contrained to only be used in one place… how do you even pack it if you wanna move?
That said I don’t really have a place I feel “home” yet… so my mind thinks more like a “nomad”
I like using phone more often… cuz you have it with you everywhere, so I treat my phone as my “Main” device… If I type a document, I always copy it to be on my phone at all times…
Hard to move stuff like a desktop pc or a bookshelf of books, dvds, game cartidges… so I kinda favor digital versions of stuff more than physical…
I don’t bother keeping “backups” of every media I watched, feels like it would cost too much for storage… when you factor in like replacements when drives eventually die… and the headache of having to manage all that… so I only keep irreplacible files like photos, documents,or my writings. And maybe like a .zim wikipedia file or a bunch of ebooks since those doesn’t take much space.
Does everyone on Lemmy have like an entire serverroom or something? Lmfao

People on here talk about their 100 TB NAS setups, and that seems like the lemmy norm, lol!!
Myself have like 20 TB. Still not enough.
