Do you store your anime on an external hard drive
| Ya, some of my anime and tv shows I put on an external hardrive just until I watch them or whatever. Sometimes, I download directly onto the external drive just because I don't have much space on my computer. |
  |
| Yeah, I'd definitely try to shell out for 1TB at least. They aren't too expensive. |
| I download from mostly rapidshare links in every 4-5 months then store it in my 2 TB external (about 1.6 TB is used). |

| Yes, I have an external hard drive that pretty much is 80% downloaded anime. For the most part, though, I do wind up buying most of what I download. I can't bring myself to delete some of them in case I feel like making AMVs (some of them are good quality) or just because they took forever to find initially. Since I don't really have the money to invest in another hard drive, I'll have to start deleting some of them. |

| I have 1 TB external hard drive but I really don't want to put anything there since it's pretty slow. |
Ranivus said: well anyways, External Hard drives with a seperate power supply are known to break down 2-3 years later due to shitty construction for the sata to usb converter easily overheats if left on for long periods of time which in turn deteriorates the converter. Seriously? Crap, it's about time for me to invest in a new one, then. I don't have nearly enough patience to re-download all that crap. |
 |
| I don't store all of my anime on an external hard drive. I've burned some anime on DVD discs. Most of the anime I recently have downloaded I store on the internal hard drive of my laptop. |
 |
| None of these. I usually just stream anime or go out and purchase it if they make good dubs. :P |
| 2x 2TB external and 1x 4TB as backup. Also some on the internal because I'm a lazy ass. |
 |
| No but I really should. I have a 1TB external harddrive just waiting for me to use it. |
| A mix of both for me; I prefer having physical copies of my media (because I'm a hoarder and collector) but if no physical copies exist that I can play on my platforms then I'll download them. Think I might need a new external HDD. 2tb ain't enough for the amount of anime I plan to watch. |

| I delete episodes immediately after watching as I do not see a point in keeping them. That I happen to download them to an external drive, well — I primarily bought it for storing music, but it serves as a proper momentary storage for anime, as well. |

| Yeah, I have an external 1TB hard drive, but I don't have much since in order for me to store it digitally I'd have to: really like it a lot and it would have to have rewatch value. Then it would have to be unlicensed, because I don't DL something I could just buy. |

| I stream anime, download then delete after watching is what I've been doing for the past 10 years or so. Not going to change. |
| wtf is happening here?! I thought dvd\cd .. etc are already dead and gone like 10 years ago or so. Looks like weebs and console peasants are keeping the industry alive. I wonder, is there any VHS enthusiasts here? No offense, I'm just really surprised. |
| Back in my "Straw Hat" days, yes. I also double down by having copies of files on SD cards and coupling those with card readers so I can easily access them on my phone. I'm not updated with the computer hardware market stuff anymore but, I think a Western Digital Blue (or Green) drive would suffice if just for storing files. Might prefer to choose a model without fancy features for a cheaper price. |
