Regarding backup hard disks...

As a Chon-tard it should be no surprise to you that i have a shitton of media, usually(all) pirated and mostly anime. As of right now i have some 400 gigs' worth of movies and some 100 gigs' worth of games...

I bought a new 1TB drive to make a complete backup of everything i needed when i thought about expenses... If i keep getting(pirating) more gaems and moving pictures i'll have to start buying more HDs and replacing the old ones...

It's become an organizational issue, too.

Have any of you become archivists? Have you settled upon a standard with which you will buy additional HDDs on? Are 1TB blocks acceptable? I'm asking because of incongruity... i have 500 storage drive and a 1TB backup drive, so once 500GB is filled there will be nothing else to backup with regards to the 500gb left on my backup drive. Also, later on we'll have larger disk sizes...

I would be whom you consider an "archivist."  I have an external USB 250GB, 300GB, and 160GB.  They are connected to my linux box which has a 10GB and an 80GB installed.

I don't keep movies on my HDs, except a few that I know I'll watch regularly or soon.  Downloaded movies make their way to DVD.

There cannot be such a standard IMHO as usually by the next time I get around to buying a new HD the capacities have increased for the price.  When I need additional storage I always consider the expense, like say, I'll put away $150 and buy what I can for that.

Can't wait for BD writers to get dirt cheap.
