How much computer storage do you use for porn? A few months back I bought an external hard drive of 1tb which I thought was great value at $80. I've managed to get naughty america, reality kings, videobox and girls of killergram collection all downloaded on to the hard drive and of course it's now full. Well i still have 240gb left but it's not going to last long with the amount of sites I have in mind to join soon. Now I'm thinking of getting a 3 terabyte so I can download more sites but there is so many I don't know if it's going to be enough. I got at least 7 new sites I'm thinking of joining I can't believe how much sites there are. Is anyone else on here serious collectors that go through hard drives like nothing? | |

Hello and welcome to PonrUsers. There have been several past threads that addressed the subject of storage. One you might find of interest is ... So how big is yours? I got a massive...

Otoh mentioned in the thread previously mentioned about backing up which is always a concern of mine to which goes back to the subject of this thread - how big. And the suggestion I make here is one about editing. Either dump stuff that doesn't immediately get a rise, or edit the material to the stuff that does and back that up. 4T is seriously a lot material that primarily is wasting space - one because you will never go back and look at it all and two, because you're out there looking for new material to download. When you set a limit on size, you at least have set some controls on it which seems like a good thing to me. It would see better to get two 2T than one 4T and get a grip on it. Which goes to my theory that porn is like cigarettes - you've always got to have another one no matter how good the last one was. I've taken my own advise - I edit and back up on double density dvd's but one of the interesting things is with my stack of DVD's - the best that I have - I seldom go back and look at them because they seem so stale. Nonetheless here's my best advice - Edit, back up and delete like your hard drive depended on it. If it ain't grits, it must be a Yankee. If you're going to lay her head over the pool table and fuck her throat, get your fucking hand off her throat! | |

Thanks for the advice. I usually organise my videos and delete any average scenes that i don't want . Then put the best ones in specific folders so I know the type of group niche or what site they're from. I'm not too well versed in editing which i would love to know how to do. And of course backing it up I don't know how There are a lot of sites still left that don't offer full scene downloads and only offer to d/l in parts which I find particularly a annoying and is usually a deal breaker for me. If I knew how to join the scenes together there would be a lot more sites I'd join. | |

I thought that at 2T, I had a lot of porn. Then I punched the link to an earlier thread and find that badandy is Sitting at 13T and downloading around the clock. I’m reminded what my 80 year old mother said to me when I complained about the aging process. “You’re a fucking lightweight !!” When I first got a computer, the second thing I did was look at naked girls on this new internet thing. With a 7k modem, it was not worth the wait. Fifteen years later I set up a computer for a friend and the second thing he did was look at naked girls. Within a week he was an expert. He told me that it was easier and faster than I remembered. He emailed me some terminology and his bookmark file, one week old and already listing two or three hundred URLs, so I gave it another shot. Naked girls with a DSL was a different game. I quickly began pressing the limits of five gigs of hard drive space and began burning cds and later dvds. I stuck with still images until a cable modem made video downloads viable. In December I had a seven hard drive clutter under my desk, the contents of which could only be described as chaos. One 2T drive and a lot of file management later, there is now order d’erotica. After some exhaustive house keeping and deleting a large amount of crap and duplication, (1.1 million images reduced to just over 900k and 9000 vids reduced to just over 6000) I rested. The 13,000 plus video clips were left largely untouched and placed in one location I never watched a vid online, opting to downloading after reading a brief description or viewing images. When I finally reviewed the collection I was amazed at how many of them I had never seen, and how many of those were quite excellent. Now a model’s name begins every video file name. Images were all grouped into a semblance of order and names assigned to the folders that held them. The whole thing now resides on one 2T hard drive, almost filling it. I am complete. This feels great. It is interesting though that I can spend a day or two cleaning and organizing my office or garage and then bask for weeks in the newly found order and feel incredibly virtuous, but the three months I spent organizing one hard drive, and when it’s done, it still looks the same. It’s just a hard drive. Having skills in PhotoShop, I have removed offending watermarks and tweaked brightness and contrast on thousands upon thousands of images. I can take a bad to mediocre image, and within minute or so, I can make them look amazing. I’m amazed that, as competitive as the porn business is, that more care and effort does not go into their final product. I’m keeping aside 2Ts of disk space for chapter two. I moved the better of the images and vids to the remaining four hard drives to be given as Christmas presents and party favors. unless life also gives you water and sugar, your lemonade is gonna suck. | |

Originally I had just under 2TB, did a MASS cleaning and removed the copied scenes, stuff I wasn't into anymore. Now I'm at 1.3TB Most of it is HIGH QUALITY though. And it's a mix of pics, videos, and games. | |

Kinda reminds of a Family guy episode where the sexaholic Quagmire discovers Internet porn for the first time (circa 2010). I can only imagine I'd have had a similar reaction had I discovered porn at 2010 standards rather than watching it progressively change and grow from the dark days of dial-up in the 1990s to the jaw-dropping HD fetish superhighway it has turned into today. I also admit that one of the first things I do when setting up a computer is "test" the Internet connection...usually two or three times just to be sure.  "It's incredibly obvious, isn't it?

My collection is probably about 1.5TB with half of that not backed up, but I have been doing a bit of pruning, not actually deleting the videos I don't want but putting them in an "unwanted" folder, just in case I change my mind about any of them. My aim is to get my collection onto a 120GB drive (meaning about 100GB of storage space) that I'll salvaging from an old PC so I've got a LOT of prunig to still do. | |
