I saw a similar  moment on YT some months back, but I can't find it now.

If you can, it ain't sudo as we know it.

So you're saying it's some sort of pseudo-sudo?

Our two tech writers sit behind me. They use Adobe Illustrator, Acrobat, and Photoshop, as well as several large-ish art packages. They are constantly wrangling disk space, moving files around trying to free enough room to do their job. They have one 250GB drive apiece  .
I sit here with two 2TB SSD's and a 2TB hard drive (currently empty).
For the hour or so each and every day wasted on this activity, they could buy an SSD for each and they'd never have to do this again.

If you can't find time to do it right the first time, how are you going to find time to do it again?

Nah. They buy them an SSD each and in six months, they will be full again. I have a 1TB SSD, a 500GB SSD, and 2 1TB HDDs in my desktop, plus a 16TB NAS, a 4TB NAS, and a 2TB NAS under the desk, a pile of 2TB and 4TB external drives (some of which are stored at a friends house at any given time). And every time I upgrade storage, it gets fuller ...
Get them a big heavy duty NAS (I can recommend QNAP) and put it under someone else's control. They will fill that too, but at least it stands a chance of being backed up ...

Or repurpose a desktop and put TrueNAS on it.
Works for me.

It’s weird being the same age as old people. Live every day like it is your last; one day, it will be.

A "real" NAS uses less power, particularly when it isn't being accessed - mine idles at less than 20W (and wakes immediately on LAN use) and can sleep at less than 1W.
My PC on the other handy is a greedy bugger!

I lost 4 years of photos because my NAS crashed while I was temporarily using my only backup computer to test Linux.

Sounds like digital hoarding! How many copies of copies of things do you have going on?
I'll create a back up of something, then that'll get backed up into another folder, then that PC will be upgraded and I'll copy the whole thing into another folder which will get backed up, then onto another disc in case the first blows up. It's the digital equivalent of a garage full of stuff you're too afraid to throw away in case you may one day need it. Yep 2x 4TB drives full of garbage in my PC currently.
16TB is really quite a lot when you think about it..

Rob Philpott.
