Title: Running out of HDD space
Post by: tp4tissue on Thu, 14 December 2017, 13:00:45
Jesuz.. I prepared for this , I knew UHD-Blurays were coming out at ~50gb a pop..

But dang...  Drive space filling up fast.... Unexpected rate or releases...  Current calculations put me @ maximum capacity within 3 months..



Anyone know where I could buy one of these ?

Also you could buy a few of these as well as an off the shelf NAS or build your own FreeNas system.

YOU CAN INCREASE YOUR HARD DISK SPACE BY SWITCHING TO WINDOWS 98 AND ELIMINATING ANY BLOATWARE THAT IS ON YOUR MACHINE. YOU CAN ALSO FREE UP MORE SPACE BY DELETING ALL YOUR FILES.

Large files can be sliced into smaller segments for archival purposes.

Since it may not be cost effective to back up every UHD Bluray movie at 50 GB a piece, I would recommend using video transcoding software such as handbrake to compress your videos. Also you could also look into getting a Bluray burner and media.

You could still use standard 25 GB discs by splitting a 50 GB file in half.  :thumb:

del c:\windows\*.* will do the trick.
Also:
del "c:\Program Files\*.*"
