Yeah, I got a good laugh after that last one!

It's absolute chaos but works surprisingly well. I'm moving towards a hatred of DIRs and prefer tags as a file structure.

edit: I can't wait for an apocalypse to happen so I can put this NAS to use.

Organization is something you have to decide on from day one, otherwise it's a nightmare to implement later... something I learned after not doing it.

Anyway, seems all that's left for you now is to actually read those

Fwiw... you're very correct anon as I just had one of my SSD's go flakey, but it didn't go down completely dead like I've had HDD's go in the past.

I was able to slowly transfer about 1.4tb's of audiobooks onto a new 2tb SSD... then I get it into my head that I need to categorize them as our friend iLOVENZB did.

Naww... I just shook my head and thought I probably should have started that about 10 years ago...

I absolutely do applaud his effort though.

One lesser known fact about SSD durability is that their data decays if they don't receive power for long enough, making them unreliable for backups or archiving.

As for me, I have tried to minimize the amount of new files that get in, and maybe one day I'll sort everything that's already there...
