Storage in my living room

490 gigabytes today, but just wait till my old TV dies…

I added up all the digital content (and storage) in my living room: 373 gigabytes.  I also calculated the digital equivalent of all of my analog movies, music and photos: an additional 96 GB, for a total of 490 GB

One thing became very clear: DVDs and home videos dominate the stash.   We’re on a pretty strict Netflix regimen, so we only own 22 DVDs.  Still they accounted for 40% of all of our digital content.

My terabyte future

When my TV finally kicks the bucket, watch out!  I’ve got big dreams for Entertainment System 2.0, including terabytes of movies at the ready.  The challenge will be to make sense of all the technology options to arrive at a system that works and lasts.
