700gb belongs to just anime.
The other 300gb... I don't know tbh :^)
Attempting to compress it with Window's compression thingy; I couldn't get 7zip to compress because it kept crashing due to out-of-space.

Do you have a hour emergency call systems broadcasting radio station WNYW or Internet Explorer? Well? Which one? Cyros admits the truth: http://i.snag.gy/GTy14.jpg |

Ever heard of that thing called deletion? It's really useful, clears away a lot of space.
There is also the possibility of external HDDs

I tend to be extremely careful around deletion; specifically, "del" and "rm".
It was fun talking to a VPS technician after I had accidentally done "rm -rf /"

^What he said
My C drive is just a 64gb SSD for sys files. Everything else is in my 5tb of HD space. (three 1tb HDDs and one 2tb HDD) I have so many HDs that I needed to add an internal PCI express -> SATA port board lol. Ran out of SATA ports on my mobo.

my next harddrive is going to have 4tb. i'll probobly never fill it unless i forget to compress/remove the fraps videos i record

...Eh. Anything over 1tb is overkill. Only reason I got a 2tb was because I literally could not fit any more harddrives in my bay/have enough SATA ports.
Think of it this way. If you have four 1tb HDDs and one dies, you only lose 1tb of data.
Now let's say you have one 4tb... and it dies... Welp, gg no re. Goodbye all that wasted bandwidth. You're never getting it back. Also, for most people, anything over 2tb total space is absolute overkill anyway. Do you even watch animes? Only reason I filled up 3tb worth of HDDs is because I archive animes and have close to 1tb of anime alone. Then I have all my music program files which take up another 1tb and then I finally have random shit that take most of 1tb. Again, for most people you'll _NEVER_ need more than 2tb. I do _TWO_ extremely space intensive things, archiving animes and using high-end music programs and sound samples, and STILL I haven't actually "filled" even 4tb of space.
If you have the money for a 4tb, I'd advise you just get two 1tb drives for safety and spend the rest of the money on other things.
Of course, this is all null and void if you actually regularly keep backups of all your shit. (I only backup my most important files. 10gb of files at most)
