I can't fathom while people would setup multi-terabyte drives without RAID (or backups of some sort if you've got an external drive to replicate it to or something)

This. Any drive more than 500GB should be definition be in raid. It just makes no sense to have that stand alone, unless it's a backup drive itself to backup the raid. i have 4.5TB in raid 5 and then several 1TB drives I use for backups. Also have offsite backups of my most important stuff.

I don't do the porn thing though but if I did I'd definitely want to back that up properly. It's much faster to access local storage than to wait for some video to buffer off some sketchy site that's probably trying to load spyware into your machine.

I once lost two porn drives in the same day... 1.5TB of porn went poof, and I was sad. Now I have a Drobo, so I'm happy. 🙂
 
I definitely store porn. Not tons and tons bit still have it. At home I keep it mostly on my unraid server so its protected and I can access it on any computer.

It is nice like now where I'm traveling till the end of the year to have it on my laptop. The hotel internet sucks and seriously buffers every 3 seconds on streams.
 
even when I use stream sites, I like to download it to local disk if it's any good.

never know when a great clip is going to get pulled for copyright reasons or because the uploader had second thoughts and closed their account.

Exactly. When ******** went down I lost some amateur stuff I'll probably never fap to again. 🙁

EDIT: ******** = MegaUpload's adult service
 
Some us also prefer to watch porn in HD, which you cant get reliably from a free streaming site (at least any free site Ive ever seen. Most are ad-laden flash sites). That stuff has to be downloaded.
