Off Topic How are you storing downloads?

Not a veteran on this forum but am in others. I use mega and external

couple of big externals, should probably have switched over to a NAS a long time ago, but I'm always too lazy too reorganize

10+ TB external does the trick for this case and all other media. Definitely recommend WD for reliability, at least in my experience - I've got one 3 TB that's lasted nearly a decade for example.

couple of 10tb internal 3.5 drives and another 16tb external for important backups, can never have too much especially with 4k porn now

mega and External hard drives

External harddrive. But I also use Ffmpeg to convert to HEVC encoding. This preserves the quality of the videos but reduces the size by at least half. HEVC is an improvement over x264. It's the future basically and become standard.
