Hey all,

I'm starting to get into data hoarding. It started with YouTube, then music, then other media, and I've filled up 2 computers, a 256GB USB drive, and I have to fish out my other 1TB external drive. I don't like how spread out all of my media is right now.

I'm typically broke, so I'm looking for some budget setups for data hoarding. My ISP has an uncapped amount of bandwidth, so I make sure to take advantage of ~1TB in downloads every month :p. I need to stop deleting videos/music I don't listen to though, as I feel like I put all this work into building up this amazing library, then have to delete it.

I'm considering, due to a sale at a local Best Buy, creating a RAID array of 128GB USB drives. They were on sale for $11 (with USB 3 and good read speeds, I have the 256GB version and it's good), so I feel like this could be a good start. I'm not crazy over speed, so that's not a concern.

Any suggestions/tips for a decent setup for less?
