Achievement Get: Fill 1TB HDD

Always have backup of important stuff.

And to add to Remis cute little text.
IF you are going with several small drives, backups regulary what is important, you can always put them in a RAID0 stripe for improved performance!
Or maybe even RAID1 for automatic "backup". But RAID1 is probably only interessting if you actually have the money for it, since it mirrors the first harddrive, and nothing more. So buying 2 1TB HDDs will result in only having 1TB with RAID1...


But now I am probably going a bit deeper than most people on this forum is even interested in going

Soda, RAID in general is too expensive for my tastes, lol. I'm a college student ffs :P

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.

Don't ever use windows compression. Grab WinDirStat and see what folders/files are taking up space and delete some.

Please RAID 6 or 10 or just don't RAID. For more fun see http://www.reddit.com/r/DataHoarder/

I dont have place for RAID6 in my M-ITX Case >_>

But I would love to have RAID61 one day, just for the overkill 8D.

Can't really delete my archived anime folder that easily :x
Is there a way to compress horribly compressed video files? If I recall, I used really stupid settings to get an extremely fast encoding time (e.g 5 720p episodes in 1~ minutes, or something, you get the point)

...how large is each file, a gig or something? (Prepare your anus. Alex did legit encoding for fansubs)

They're horrible compressed and tend to be a bit volatile in terms of file size.
Just a small example list:
Accel World - 450-470mb
A-Channel - 280-295mb.
SAO - 500-515mb.
DXD New - 500-727mb :^)

These are 720p? Because if 720, 300 seems to be standard nowadays... Wait, if they're 720 how are you getting larger sizes... Bloatcoding...

To be completely honest; it's a mixture of 960x544 and 1280x720.

and I just found out that Kami-sama no Memochou ep.1 is 1.10gb.

edit: How I achieve high file sizes? Simple. VidCoder -> Settings -> Video -> x264 Presets -> Ultra Fast.
Yeah, you can kick me in a corner later for doing that.

Jesus fuck even my shit doesn't get that bad when I encode once in a blue moon. At least this is assuming both of us don't apply a million filters to actually improve video quality in trade-off for file size. Fun fact. The second maikaze touhou anime was 720p when our source was 420p and it had no noticeable upscale artifacts and overall _improved_ quality from the source because of alex magic. Granted, the 20 minute episode was like 700mb. (Which still isn't ridiculous because [gg] exists)
