Mine is 186GiB. I have about 100 movies and 3 TV series on a two hard disks (one for backup). I don’t know if that is small or large.
How big is your collection?
765 movies (~4.5 TB)
161 tv series (~7.2 TB)
About a year ago 6TB storage was no longer cutting it since I was constantly having to hunt for media to delete or downgrade quality in order to make more room. I bought five 14TB drives and put them in a big zfs pool so I don’t have to do that anymore.
Around 16 TiB and I keep 3 copies of everything so 48 TiB used of around 65TiB. I encoded all my TV shows and most of my movies with AV1 and keep most of my files compressed, which saves a bunch of space so hopefully I won’t need more drives any time soon
I have about 24TB, lots of stuff backed up over many years, and not all of it pirated. In making backups over such a long period of time, I’ve actually managed to make redundant backups, so a recent project of mine is to just go to my NAS and organize, consolidate, and otherwise delete things I don’t actually wish to keep. I’ve saved a couple TBs and I hope to free up a few more TBs.
I have an entire series of Breaking Bad and that alone is almost 100GB and 320GB+ of anime also another 200GB if you count games all store in an external 1TB hard drive and that’s puny compared to other people collection I saw online
Lmao.
Mine is small, since I have a shit ton of physical media going back into the eighties
So, only about 3 tb, most of which is music in lossless formats. But, I also purge video that I don’t watch at least yearly, so it could be bigger.

If you care about it, you should make sure that you still have it, and not just useless plastic, and make backup copies (and / or upload it)… magnetic tapes and discs degrade quite fast, and even CDs and DVDs have a limited lifespan… vinyls will probably be fine, though if treated properly.
I watch things fairly often, and so far, I haven’t lost anything that was oop before I could make a copy (which is why I go through them, even if it’s just background noise while I do other things). That’s the flow chart; pick the next one, check to see if it’s still available, if it isn’t either rip it or download it, then watch to verify the physical.
But, thank you very much for looking out :) That’s a genuinely cool thing to do
I don’t keep any TV series after I watch them, unless someone else with access to my Jellyfin wants to watch too. So my collection is relatively small at a few terabytes.
As big as whatever I’m consuming hasn’t been consumed yet or reached 3.0 ratio.
7 TiB and growing
Big, but orders of magnitude smaller than what all the Steam games I’ve bought at sales and never found the time to play would need if I installed them all at the same time.
“Piracy” really is a service problem.
(Fuck, I’ve got Amazon Prime for the free deliveries — it comes bundled around these parts and is surprisingly cheap — and I still torrent Amazon series because it’s more convenient and gives me better quality…)
I have no collection whatsoever. Everything that I watched gets deleted from the seedbox. A maximum of 900GB are stored on there at any given time. It’s cheap and no hassle to maintain.
128TiB, which is about 3k movies with I think 20+ shows. Some of the files are over 100GiB though.
Are you remux fan? 😂
Tree fiddy.
Going on 6Tb of movies and tv
1,200 movies
200 shows
Smattering of books and a few GBs of music
Oh and every game for every console older than the PS2Originally across multiple 4tb external drives but been mostly pushed to one nas 8tb drive in my case.
115,000 songs. Mostly FLAC. Comes out to 3.5TB
another 18tb of video on the NAS
