I'm in the process of cleaning out my living space, and sorting out my Blu-Ray collection. Initially, my thought was to toss it all and just download em. But then went down a rabbit hole.....

  • A bit of research indicated that those Blu-Ray rips online aren't as good quality as what I can do with a dedicated DVD ripper and Make MKV. So I am looking to get the ASUS BW-16D1X-U, which is an external DVD drive for ripping purposes.

  • After ripping my Blu-Ray, I am contemplating how and where to store these discs/cases/artwork. Ideally, it would be in the garage. So I am thinking putting all these in a Pelican case with desiccant packs. Would that suffice for long-term storage in a non-climate controlled garage? If it matters, I live in NYC.

Any thoughts and/or suggestions welcome, including maybe just ripping em and then tossing it lol
