I recently upgraded. Plenty of free disk storage now. Feels strange. Difficulties sleeping.

We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time (tm) ). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

man, that feeling of slotting in a fresh new drive is just unbeatable. seeing all that empty space waiting to be filled up is pure satisfaction!
No, that's usually when the work starts where you begin consolidating all the data into proper order because you just had to stuff incoming data previously everywhere it doesn't belong because space constraints. Once that process is done you usually need a new drive again anyway. It's a vicious cycle you can't escape. :)
