How do you store your data?Internal hard drive,external hard drive,flash drive,dvd,blu ray
nas drive,ssd,cloud.Also what size are your storage drives?

I have a 4 TB internal hard drive
 
I have an actual server (Well not server hardware besides the RAID card but it is running Server 2016). My case has 8 drive bays. My RAID card which i bought used can only do up to 2TB Hard drives so I am good for the time being but I have 8 2TB Drives. Half are just 2TB drives and i have 2 RAID 0's giving me 2 4TB drives in windows. I have backups that i run probably every other week. Its not a huge deal if i lose anything really. Anything important get backed up to another external drive that is always plugged in and to my Google drive on top of the regular backup drives i use and it is synced though my google drive to my desktop so my important stuff is in 5 places lol
 
Several SSD's for daily working stuff and operation.
Qnap NAS box with 4 x 4TB HDD, RAID 5 (10.6TB effective), for long term storage and backups.
8TB HDD to backup the NAS.
2TB offsite for really critical stuff.
