Ask yourself what happens to all that data when you die? If, and the odds are probably long, that someone takes the time to sort through the digital footprint you leave behind, are they going to be interesting in your 5TB of data plus whatever you add to it over the next 30 years? I can't answer for you but I know the day my last surviving parents dies, I doubt I'll spend 10 minutes looking over their digital remains and I doubt my kids will spend that much time for my digital remains.
So my personal opinion is that any time or money you spend preserving or sorting through all this data is likely worthless and you should spend your time elsewhere on something that has more value to you.
