    I have a chepo 1TB samsung that came with my pre.built PC, and later got a 1TB WD blue. So far I dont need more, but if I do, I might as well buy a new PC (current I3 3220 NVidia GT 240, 4gb RAM) get an SSD, and free that ~300MB space from windows.

    Cloud storage isn’t as expensive as you make it out to be.

    $119.88 (~£72) will get you 1TB on Google Drive. That’s £327 less than Dropbox per year for double the space!!!

    There’s also Google Drive for Work which gives you an *unlimited* amount of space for $10/user/month (so roughly £361.80 per year because there is a minimum of five users to get unlimited space). That’s still cheaper than Dropbox and you could store all of your Blu-rays in the cloud. 🙂

    That said, a 6TB HDD (or two) would still be cheaper when the cost is spread over 3-5 years.
