A four-hour Twitch VoD at 6 Mbps source bitrate is 11 GB. A typical streamer's week is six VoDs โ about 66 GB. A month is 280 GB. A year is 3.4 TB. That is one 4 TB external drive per channel per year, and you bought the editing rig assuming it would last three.
Voding stores the source on infrastructure-grade NVMe in eu-central-1 and streams the segments you actually scrub through to your browser. The numbers above never touch your machine. If you delete a VoD from Voding it is gone โ no shadow copy on your drive, no project file referencing a path that no longer exists, no scavenger hunt for the right external when you want to re-edit something six months later.
