Been a while since I've researched hard drives...I dont know much about the different brands and their tiers.Basically I need a large (at least 20TB) external to use as an SMB plugged into my nvidia shield. Its only going to store large 4k movies locally. (blu ray rips). Each movie is around 60gb.

My AV rack has limited space so something more compact OR something I can lay flat.

Looking for recommendation on brands and models. I'm looking for something reliable. I'm not sure how long newer disc drives are expected to las but is 10 years reasonable? Also, pretty sure it needs to be exFat capable since I rip off a macbook pro (I know it doesnt matter when its being used as an SMB but I want to be able to use it with my laptop).

Budget is flexible - depends on size

Thanks in advance!
