Hello there, longtime lurker and even longer data hoarder.
I’ve infrequently ripped my DVD and Blu-ray collection over the years, and very recently ramped up with my Criterion Collection Blu-ray Discs. My issue is that I rip them at full quality, as I take massive personal issue with artifacting, and now I have to figure out where to stick them. I currently have 10TB of HDD space on my PC (as I planned on doing this years ago), with only about 2 or 3TB free currently.
I’ve had my eyes on things like the Western Digital 24TB external drives, but the reviews on them are not comforting, so I’m hoping for better recommendations on how to proceed. My PC tower has the space available for a few more 6TB HDDs, but I feel like I’ll just circle back to the same problem within a few years. I don’t exactly understand NAS storage, but I’ll admit that I haven’t looked into it. Hopefully I’ll be steered in the right direction.
Many thanks in advance!
