I'm in a dilemma about storage options. For one thing, i feel I ought to overcome my 'digital hoarding' tendencies and just delete everything. e.g. I have an absurd archive of podcasts, both music and speech, that I really don't have a good rational reason to keep, but can't bring myself to bite the bullet and just delete them all (it's like throwing away books!).
The other issue is, I already have a couple of external hard-drives for backup, and if I am going to keep stuff, I'd rather get a bigger internal drive....but if anything external drives seem to be _cheaper_ than internal ones, and they don't require putting more stress on the PSU. But do I want even more objects sitting on the desk?
What do the rest of you do? Are you all more strong-willed about just deleting stuff?
And, also, why is it that internal drives aren't any cheaper than external ones, even though the latter have the extra expense of a housing and their own power-supply?
