Rain and DVDs

Been a pretty boring few days, raining non-stop and no where to go has kept me in the house. I decided that it would be worth while to organize my DVDs. Not sure how I gathered that many burned DVDs except it is about 6 years of download various things, lots of documentaries and Anime. but also backups of music, pictures, and movies. They are all stored on Spindles which makes it really hard to find something when you need it. I bought Americopy Paper Sleeves and Snap-N-Store CD Storage Box . The Sleeves are rather thing, but I don't plan on transporting, or using the sleeves as any sort of protection other than from dust. The boxes came flat and they just snap together, I would prefer them to be a bit more sturdy, the box they were shipped in would hardly need to be any bigger if they were solid, and I don't really see the point in being able to take them apart. If you move, it's not like you will remove 160 discs and put them in another box, and then unsnap the box they were in. I do have a DVD binder, but it seems rather clumsy to me. After sorting most of the discs I seems to be it would be more convenient to just buy an extra hard drive. How do you guys store you discs or data?

  4. Movies are one of the few things I still buy (since DVDs are so damn cheap now), so I got em on a shelf. As for data, most of my stuff is on flash/external drives or other portable devices.

  9. I have a couple of external hard drives that I use for backup. I lost information before so I am a bit paranoid and backup everything. I store my DVD's in neatly organized books.

  14. External hard drives all the way, only downside is mine is written for a mac so you can't write on it with windows

  15. I think the most common solution to storage is a nice external drive. I have a 2TB drive myself. I keep it nice and organized and only use it when formatting my computer or transporting a lot of files to friends or work.

  24. I've got a handful of DVDs, consisting of my favorite childhood movies, usually collectors additions, and a bunch of shitty films that I use to get for Christmas. I'm currating on my harddrive my best movies, been meaning to make them physical copies.

  25. spindles too for me, it's hard to keep them sorted.

  26. I wouldn't touch dvd's anymore. HDD's are so much cheaper than they used to be and offer a lot easier and more secure data storage.
