How big is your porn folder?
-
Almost 500gb

2.6-2.7 TB. I have a 2 TB external HDD just for porn and I have another 6-700 GB on another external HDD and on my laptop. The problem is I don't really have time to sort it out and I'm pretty sure that I have multiple copies of the same videos. Although working from home is a blessing as I can easilly watch porn in the background while I'm doing the more monotonous tasks at work. ;D

around 120 gigs, I'm so surprised of how many of people have less than 100 while using torrent :afr: like how guys give us some tips.

That's very little subjectively, considering that nowadays file sizes have increased, I can only assume 120 gigs is approximately a couple dozen full-length vids… Have you started collecting porn recently or are you extremely picky?

about 12T

Are you sure it's not a typo???
12TB?????
How old are you? or for how long are you collecting? -
Here is a symbol of BYTE : [to avoid confusion]
Kilobyte/kibibyte (KB)
Megabyte/mebibyte (MB)
Gigabyte (GB)
Terabyte/tebibyte (TB)

I've got about 300 gb of porn ;D
-
340 GB…. and surprisingly well organized
-
regardless: it depends on how much storage and capacity, and lifetime guarantee…

Just under 200GB of pared-down, meticulously organized, tagged, rated, and thumbnailed videos. I've even losslessly edited some of them to cut out unwanted space-wasting scenes (e.g. entire scenes with nobody in it that I liked).
A couple of years ago I went through a massive stash purge because I was keeping videos that I hardly ever (or never) watched. I now only keep videos that I really like, rather than keeping 'ok' or 'so-so' videos. My old collection was cut down by about 2/3 (I deleted about 400GB worth of files).
I am quite picky, and I have a hell of a time finding any videos that I like, so my collection grows slowly. I might keep 1 video out of every 20 downloads (and that's despite the fact that I don't download indiscriminately).
I don't have that many videos in total now (approximately 140). The folder size is accounted for by the fact that I prefer hi-res videos, so most of my videos are well over 1GB each.

I bought an 8 TB external hard drive for, ahem, "erotica." I'm deleting a lot of low-res (>720p) files, so I think I will end up at just under 6 TB.
If you do go external, be sure to back it up. Porn is so very, very precious.

Yeah - I'm a bit of a collector... I have a 16TB storage array for lots of things (backed up into the cloud -- God help me if I ever have to recover from there though!)... of that 16TB, probably about 30-40% is porn... -
8tb and a second 8tb drive with it all backed up (just incase).
Sorted as:
Full length films, then into sudio folders
Full Scenes, then into studio folders
Then a folder with actors / porn stars that have scenes short-cutted into here from the full scenes folders for easy acces to my favourite men.Slightly sad i know! Lol.

245GB of the 8TB is labeled XXX, which alphabetically shows as last on the list on the media server, thankfully. Feels like I've lost more porn than was ever made, sometimes. A separate 2TB ssd is used for active torrenting.
Cinema (Mainstream), LGBT Films, LGBT Shorts, Television, and Security shows before XXX on Plex.
Lots of leftover 1TB and 2TB hard drives, several of which have been reformatted and zero'd out to be repurposed as cloned replacement basic drives for guest computers.

@bi4smooth I'm impressed you got 16TB of fun uploaded into cloud.storage.
I subscribed to Carbonite and tried to use it, but it was so slow, I was laboring to get it past the second TB, so no good. I was using a slower Internet provider at that time, so perhaps...
Now I am using a twin 8TB as a backup, which of course still leaves me open to fire, flood or theft. I know clouds are great, but I feel like I read an article that some scan your uploading for particularly reported illegal images. And while I think I'm clean -- lol -- I can't say I've seen every image unzipped from generous torrent collections.
Or maybe this is just an Internet rumor.

Some cloud-based backup solutions definitely do scan your uploads!
I use Code42, in part because your data is encrypted - before being sent - and in part because they don't have storage limits.Your experience is not rare - especially for people with cable-tv based Internet Service Providers. These providers, as well as DSL-based providers, base their Internet Service Model on the old dial-up assumptions: that you will download 100x more data than you will upload.
Think about it: in the early days of the Internet, you'd send at-most 1k of data asking for a website's HTML content, and you'd then download multiple MB of "content" for that page.
However, it's 2021, and dis ain't dat!
My ISP uses fiber-optic networking (at least from the outside of the house - it's CAT-6 inside the house). My service is 500Mbps x 500Mbps - that is, the data speed is symmetrical: the same upload speed as download speed.
This capability is unrealistic for cable-modems, and impossibly expensive for DSL: the equipment needed to transmit at those speeds is expensive for cable, and VERY expensive for DSL. That's why they can be installed at the distribution center ("local office" for telephony-based DSL), but not at your home.
With upload speeds of 500Mbps, my online backup should make more sense now

========================
I have three leftover 1 or 2TB externals -- but unlike yours, which have been repurposed, mine are in limbo. All have porn, and have been knocked over or dropped, guess they range from from 5-8 years old.
One clicks, one whirs, and other makes no sound. I do suspect there's a few things I'd like to recover.
Unfortunately, the world of hard-drive recovery repair is full of extortionists, hoping for a clientele of dumb small-business people who would pay anything to recover their client list.
And even if I found some young, independent techie at reasonable rates, I don't feel comfortable letting my drives out of the apartment.
I've seen Youtube vids on home repair, but they seem very iffy for someone with no practice. For now, they are a project for a future day.

Clicks of death (thanks Sandisk) and whirs are both heart attacks and heartbreaks. Think I cried for two days once.
