   A lot of is is ripped DVDs.  Several years ago I just HAD to have every TV    
   show I watch on DVD, which was awesome at the time, but then became a pain    
   when you'd be done a disc and *gasp* now you have to get up and change a    
   disc.   
      
   Now they're all ripped and sitting there on the NAS so I can watch from the    
   the Apple TV in the living room or on my laptop in my office when I'm working    
   from home.  I have everything from all seasons of Friends, Will & Grace, Star    
   Trek: TNG, Voyager & Enterprise (just to name a few) on there to any movie    
   I've ever bought ripped.   
      
   The next biggest amount of storage is laptop & PC backups.  They automaticly    
   backup there over the network and keep a few versions in case you want to    
   roll back to a certain point in time.  My Telegard backup is only 240MB so I    
   keep a month at a time whereas my laptop backup is just under 100GB.
