These days with internet speeds (and bandwidth allowances) it seems hardly worth it to sort through old hard drives looking for files.
Looking for a movie ? By the time you can find the disc you could download it again.
Can't find where you stored your ROM sets, download them again.
I'd bet (like many of us) I have the same file(s) a dozen or so times.
None the less I want to sort out my storage options.
I have a general opinion question.
As opposed to having a folder called "ROMS", I would break up all files under the console itself.
So Nintendo, SNES, N64, Neo Geo, Sega Master System, etc would all be an individual folder.
Inside would be anything relating. ROM files, artwork, videos, etc.
Any thoughts on storing the files like that ?
I'm trying to think of my needs and the problems I run into.
I think breaking it down by console and allotting a specific external HDD may be a good option.
Just thought I would post for some feedback.
