Anime Nation

Yeah, burning Dvd's just to keep Anime isn't the way to go... In 2-3 years, the dvd will start to fail, and then what.. got no anime... It's a nice thing to do, if you don't care about losing the data later down the road. IMHO

all my old CD backups are toast after 4 years or so. They were in a zipped up folder never opened, and they just dont read anymore.

AFter going through that i just dont trust burned media anymore either

its not a bad idea. Technically my esata cage is nothing more than 5x 5 1/4" removable hard drives connected to a port multiplier.
Nothing to stop someone from say, buying 6 of those bays, only plugging two in and swapping the drives in the bays as needed.

Yeah, I know the feeling man. My parents, when CD burners where in $150 mark, had me back up all the photos that my mom had.. Got about 30cds, since some dated back to when she was young, and my father also... Well, when she started scrap booking, she tried those cds... Well, I had to ship 8 boxes to her because of that.. lol...

Hdd, or nothing for me. I don't mind every two years swapping out the stuff if needed... A LOT faster then cds/DVDs

:roll:

Wow. I'd have to go and make a list myself.. I know it's been posted before, but I guess its time to place it on the op also

I have FAAAAARRRRRR too much anime, and am entirely too lazy to actually try to make a list on there. lol. Great idea tho.

I have 3TB scattered on various externals and on my internals, and then about 250 dvd's of back-ups, of nothing but anime alone. That doesn't include my actual DVDs or DVD isos, and the 500GB I lost to a hard drive failure. My ISP hates me. I am the type of people Comcast starting throttling and bandwidth caps over. :roll:

As for the lifespan of burned media, DVDs hold up far better than CDs. I have burned DVDs from 5 years ago that are just fine today. CDs never seem to fair that well for me. I also noticed that they tend to last longer if you store them on the spool, and in a cool, dark place.

I need to build either a server, or at least build a cage like mussels. I'm leaning towards server tho, as I'd like to build a 10-20TB (depending on drive prices) RAID6 array, for the extra redundancy.

And since mech anime seems to be the latest topic, I just started rewatching Eureka7. Somebody finally did DVD rips (Gray-Phantom).

You call 1997 classics? Jesus man, I have VHS rips from the 80's. lol. 97 doesn't qualify as "classic".
 
I have 3.5tb of interenal HDD's however they only hold the anime I havent yet watched. Once I watch them I burn them to DVDs and put them into a numbered storage unit ive got.

We will see whether the disks stand the test of time.

God I love the fact that my Paycheck comes in on Thursday at 2am my time! Just got myself a 24" monitor, and 500gb drive.

Now, when I get my Q6700 sold, I'll buy a drive big enough for the price I get out of it. Then SSD when I get my tax return back..

Thanks Guys, and Welcome!

Shroomalistic: did you like the remastered, Remix, version of Hellsing? I thought it was good on color, but left out quite a bit that made the story so good!
