Hey guys, I just had a curiosity on the multiple ways of storaging stuff and how long would that hold, take backing it up to a newer storage after some years out of the table....
There’s a rule I was always told in A+. Either a hard drive is going to last you less than a year or it’s gonna last you five. Usually any problems with a hard drive you’ll see right away. However after the third year is when I’d start checking the drive. There are tools out there that can let you know when a drive is in the caution level and that’s when you should think about replacement. I’ve had hard drives like one I have to replace soon last me eight years with constant use as a Plex drive.
Private. Speeds are much better and your stuff lasts longer. I tried several times to have public options for my Coliseum Video uploads and all have failed in some way. At least with private trackers, I know that they’ll stay seeded for a long long time.
School is where I first saw these. Every classroom had bootleg disks. They’d buy one copy of a program and then copy one for each classroom. Later when moving to PC’s from the Apple II, they’d clone each hard drive in that school from a master drive.
I know the majority opinion is not to do it for various reasons, but basically I started to backup the majority of my dvd collection that I created over the years since I have the time and they were just collecting dust. Turns out though I guess I’m doing it “wrong” or at least not in the original quality since I used...
I’m in that boat myself as I’ve got a TON of DVD-R’s I recorded off of WWE Classics on Demand. I usually use Handbrake for that. Especially if you have DVD-R’s recorded over 10-15 years ago and up, it’s better to start backing them up now. I’ve had discs that are lost forever because they started to go bad and bit rot.
Long storage life curiosity

Do you prefer private or public trackers?
As I get more and more invites to private trackers, I’m finding that I find myself spending more and more time on public tracker websites....
I was a video game software pirate (www.youtube.com)
any place to find a large collection of .CHDs (PS1)?
Starting to build my library, and ROM size hasn’t been an issue now until I got to PS1....
Question regarding ripping dvds (yes DVDs)
