Did you mean to say 30 GB or 30 TB? Calling 30 TB as "smaller amount" seems weird to me in 2020, especially for personal data. Perhaps it would be the norm in a couple of decades. :)
FWIW, I have way under 1 TB of personal data to backup to different locations, and I consider that to be relatively large.
- throwaway17_17 7y agoI did mean 30 TB, I have approximately 12 TB of data currently between all of my storage for video, audio, books, and games. However, I have been avoiding doing a lot of conversions to digital media from my physical collections because I'm just unsure of running a full blown archival server at home. I would estimate if I converted my entire video library to 4k it would put me somewhere over 10 additional TB. My comic books/manga and graphic novels, upgraded to archival resolution would probably run over 10 TB as well. Then there is the soon to be required ripping of PS2/PS3/WIIU roms when those hardware units become less reliable for actual playing. So I think that 30 TB of storage would do for the time being for me, but I think I will eventually need more than that. TL;DR I am a digital horder, so I've convinced myself I do in fact need 30+ TB of storage.
