HA! That's a good one.5 seconds, because the answer is negative, so no playing Cinderella and sorting HDDs and DVDs.
Sounds like you have a mighty collection. That's great!
Just a common byproduct of a porn addiction... :-/HA! That's a good one.

I have about 10TB and about 6 spindles of DVDs at about 50 each which I don't really look at because I'm lazy.
I probably wouldn't mind paying for DVDs and Blurays if they were readily available here and I had a place to hide them. DRMed digital files? Nah.
Living in or thinking of visiting Taiwan ? There is at least one place in Taipei that outright sells legit copies at a very competitive pricing, not surprising because the physical releases are pressed in Taiwan :-

It is tough for me to calculate the weight on all the movies I have downloaded. I would prefer to state how many movies I have.
But most of my library is on physical media. I have VHS', VCDs, and DVDs. No Blu-Rays. I do not see myself purchasing a Blu-Ray player. As for JAVs, practically all of it is on physical media. I ordered some from a now-defunct purveyor in central California (and it was responsible for all the VCDs).
Began going to Japan in 2005. On the day I shopped Akiba, I rode the Hibiya Line and exited on the avenue underneath the expressway a couple of blocks east of Chuo Dori. Walked north so many feet and saw a sandwich board on the ground reading "VHS, DVD, Mook". Went into that shop and...
It was a shop selling uncensored videos, and urabon photobooks! I nearly guffawed out loud because I recognized some of the photobooks from the urabon sites I had found on the World-Wide Web. I wasn't going to buy any of those. The uncensored videos were too expensive for my budget, but I looked through the catalog and scribed the names of the producers of those videos. They were all in the U.S.A. So I didn't need to re-import those back to the U.S.A. I could investigate where the producers sold their offerings here.
Did wind up buying a few JAVs on that trip. But it started blooming in future years. You can see a lot of the AVs I have bought in this thread.
As for the trailers of JAVs, EIC-AV has a lot of trailers. You can tick a box on the main page to display only those JAVs which have a trailer posted.
I will buy pretty much anything if it is cheap enough. If I encounter another shop clearing out JAVs for ¥100, I'll probably empty it out. Hopefully, I won't buy too many duplicates of what I already have.
Recently, I've found shops selling bare DVDs at very low prices. Trader #3 in Akiba had packs of AVs, which turned out to have 15 in them (but you see only two of the discs) for ¥1,852. Then, it is a matter of identifying them. Some JAV studios use a different number for (ex)rental releases than the sale release. I have used EIC-AV for a few of them, but most of my digging is at JAV Library.

8TB spread between 3 harddrives, and 3 computers, it was 20TB but a massive harddrive failure destroyed most of them, so I spread them around as I slowly slowly rebuild
How old was your drive when it failed ? I bought my drives about 3 years ago and I don't know how much longer I should trust them.... already seeing some corrupted files here and there
I have roughly 3.5 TB of jav on two 4TB external hard drives (one is backup). I have however been mostly purchasing JAV through legitimate means whenever I can so I have not touched those hard drives in a long time since most of them are low quality rips. I have been too spoiled by good/high definition to hoard like I used to. I will however pirate certain studios that are not easily available on r18/DMM. Getting it through them even though it is DRMed is just way easier for me and it works for me.
For those who have it all on external hard drives and you don't have those backed up I STRONGLY recommend that you do. You should always have a second backup because if you dont and one of your drives fail you lose years of effort. Hard drives are very mechanical things that can break if you are not careful or use them too much. Always get at least twice the amount that you need for backup.

Av streaming are pretty stable, so just preview which are good enough to download to save space. It depends on if you care about video qualities or not. SSD are still pricey. I think some people likes to download anything remotely related to their av idol like pb, games, music, v-cinema, net movies, events, etc. Also, I guess people can buy some to support the industry.
If you have good net connection & 4 friends willing to contribute/share then you can buy 5 users/$50 per month GSuite business unlimited account & use that as your online backup source.Just don't share anything over there & upload them after zipping them with a password.
Not a fan of cloud storage. Requires a connection. Just dl and watch/read/listen to offline!
Approx 400GB.
I am running out of memory though, need to create a onedrive to set aside them all
