    A single movie is 50-80GB for a high quality rip. I’m at around 9TB and have seen most things in my collection, and that’s maybe 6 years of light-ish use. I’m planning another 60+TB this Black Friday.

      So firstly, some fun trivia. Did you know that 720p is still considered HD? High quality rip is very subjective. Secondly I have 4k movies at like 16-20GB you are going like fully uncompressed.

      But congrats I guess on the upgrade

        here I am storing my movies in well compressed 1080p av1 and considering it an upgrade over streaming. to think there are people using 80GB per movie. I suppose if you have a great screen and eyesight it might be worth it, but for me I don’t think I’d really notice the difference even if I bought a better tv
