the opposite is also true however. I've been attempting to combat GAS by avoiding a home data server. In reality, I've been needing a NAS for a number of years and have changed my photography practice due to limitations and challenges with dealing with extra data. I just solved this and it's been liberating.

I solve my photography storage needs by treating SD cards as write-once consumables. When a card fills up, I just buy another one.

That would get super expensive if you shoot things like airshows, birds in flight or sports where you can easily shoot 2000 images or more in one day. Or 4K video.

2000 images fits on about $3 worth of SD card, depending on resolution.

Less than the time cost of going through and deciding which to delete.

I guess it depends on your equipment. 2000*50MB gets you up to 100GB. A decent 128GB card costs you from $20 up. A card that's capable of fast bursts can cost around $100.
