if I may ask, what kinds of things are you storing? my computer has only 500gb, my phone has 128gb, and I pay a small fee for 100gb of cloud storage for photos. sometimes I feel like I'm running out of space but it's never a real problem for me. so I'm just curious because I'm having trouble imagining what I'd even fill up 5tb with.
Movies at good quality are like 15GB each. Games frequently blow past 100.
My iCloud Photos is 1.2TB
Admittedly I should prune junk out, but RAW photos from real cameras are big and I'm not giving them up. Same with videos from my DJI.
I'm the person in the thread before the person who asked, but I'm in the same boat. In my case: videos, radio shows and comics.
A 4-season TV series in 1080p can easily take up 50-100 gb.
ah that makes sense. thanks
