 Ni> I have a Plex media server PC that I run at home where I store movies, TV

I'm getting an Asustor for a similar setup, as I try and figure out how to
sync important data across devices and also not run out of space anywhere.

I'm still trying to mentally figure out how I want the situation to work. I'm
not really sure what I envision, but I'm hopeful it includes filling up the
drives in that, and not on my laptop or desktop.

 Ni> a while..  But I can hear someone say sarcastically "18TB ought to be
 Ni> enough for anyone", and I'll probably fill it up eventually.

It feels weird, here, where all our messages and ANSI graphics and whatnot
can generally fairly comfortably fit into a very small place (depending on
what our retention policies and file bases look like I suppose).

And then we mostly have cell phones (or actual dedicated cameras) that can
produce some rather high-quality videos that suck up space, even if we don't
wind up with too much produced-by-other-people saved video.

And, yeah, I imagine you'll fill that 18TB eventually. I'm thinking that it
won't be _all_ that long until having a personal petabyte of storage will
seem at least vaguely reasonable.
