I just wonder what someone could have 17TB at home of. In 2010 the Library of Congress text database was 20TB. I know videos can take up some room but do people back up their video libraries to the cloud?

probably movies and music, large images, maybe backups of wikipedia and other large text archives ^.^

A small blu-ray ripped movie collection could do it. Also the subreddit is called "DataHoarder".

  Coincidentally I just ripped my Blu-ray collection. 82 films, 542GB (x264 with a high profile encode). 17TB for me would mean close to 3000 films.

    In that case why backup what you can just re-download?

Well according to another post[0] "Breaking bad in 4k is 1.7Tb" or "star wars 200gb for first 6 movies. thats just 1080p". So I can imagine that much data being saved. Also, the subreddit is called datahoarder, so I imagine gathering bytes is important and "easy".
