How do you store your manga or anime?

[excalibur]

Planning to buy some storage for my manga and anime but dont know which is the best for it.

How do you store it?

 

[T-ELOS]

I have a external harddrive

Depends on how serious you are. I use an external 3 tb drive for my media, like anime, TV shows, movies, music albums, etc.

When I collected American comic books, I stored them individually in protective sleeves, and kept them in comic boxes. I recently sold off my collection for a fair bit of change. ;)

Sounds good. Got alot of american comics I know how to store those but manga is a little bit different maybe a big bookshelve / manga protective selves

Got some external hard drives for anime but I need some more :)

I'm sure there are manga sized bags out there. One problem with bookshelves is that if they are exposed to light, that could affect the value of the books.

As to external drives, if it's within your budget, there are 3 tb drives on a certain major auction site (u guess which ;) ) for under $150 US.

I dont really get full on sunlight in my room. Its pretty shaded but I might get a bookselve that has a door so I close the sunlight from the books

A lot depends on whether you just want to keep your manga handy to read, or if you're a serious collector protecting an investment.

What about Tencent?
It's a cloud storage (like Dropbox) with 10TB of storage.

Bookshelf for physical goods + External enclosure with OEM HDDs for digital goods

There's been a lot of good and bad things said about cloud storage. It is convenient. The service provider takes on the responsibility for the data. By that same token. There are several security issues involved in cloud storage. If the server goes down, your data could be lost.

Cost wise, cloud storage might typically run $5-10 per month. A 3 TB external drive is under $150. Consult your budget vs time of storage, for the better option.

The main thing that decides it for me against, is that with cloud storage you lose all direct physical control of the data.

Laptop with 1 TB: Just the animes I downloaded since the last backup and I plan to watch the next weeks.
First external with 1 TB: All of my music and the most often played games.
Second external with 2 TB: Everything from the internal and the external harddrive.

But I have to admit that I just keep the animes I really like. Around 50% of the animes I watch are deleted after a few months if I didn't like them that much. And for mangas I'm just using online reader :)

Physical : Manga...shove them into an unused wardrobe and various ones that's still read around...and anime on top of bookcase and in shelves...
