But does anybody else out there find themselves downloading so much "NSFW" related material to the point where half the HDD space is gone in a week...
In the end my computer probably crashes before I can even go through all the material.

I feel like a douche.... :innocence:

i just swap out my slave drives when I want something else, resulting in my owning 7 different harddrives, and a whole lot of confusion, it's a bit crude i know, i'm in the process of putting any videos on DVDs which will allow me to get rid of atleast two of the harddrives

^ I might have to do the same as you. I have 4 hard drives and can't fit anymore in my desktop pc. Burning to DVD helps but when you have > 1TB of "stuff", you need a lot of dvd's since hd-dvd burners are way over my budget. =0

External HD's would do the trick but I'm wary of the user reviews I've read about them failing.

I have around 100GB of hentai, a lot of doujins and hentai anime. I really need to put it all on DVD to save space but i guess its my flat for letting it build up.

Actually the swapping of HDDs doesn't work too efficently. I'm trying to get a junked PC from someone to fix and use for myself so I could perhaps network them together and just make the second PC act like a server, dishing up all my videos and manga over my LAN.

DVD burners really aren't that expensive, I got a lightscribe at bestbuy for $50. It's one of those ones where if you get the lightscribe dvds you can flip them over and have the burner draw diskart on. Though I haven't tried this yet because of the cost of lightscribe DVDs.

I see, I just bought a lite-on dual layer burner for dirt cheap but it takes time to burn and label everything. I'm a little leery of getting an external hard drive but maybe I'm just being paranoid. Just can't stand the thought of a hard drive working one day then failing the next day for no readily apparent reason.

I'll probably just get a bigger internal hard drive (all of mine are 300gb) and throw my old hard drive onto my bro's comp ;)

YES! >_< I have a 160 GB HDD, and there's only like 8 gb left. I've already got a backlog of anime/J-pop PV's/J-drama to watch, and now I have to worry about IV's and everything else. It's gonna take me years to finish viewing this stuff. -_-;

Update, My computer got fixed and I filled up about 90gb of it (out of 120). Looks like I did it again. :exhausted:

Problem with it is that artwork always lures me in. T_T

I wish I was more like you Leechasd HAHA.

I use Folder Sizes to see what's taking up space and mass delete stuff I don't need or want anymore.
Seems to work just fine, especially if you've got everything organized.
Also, be very careful with what you wish for..
