![]() I have about 1300 movies (350+ are 4K) and still room for more. I also rip all of my 4K blurays, most are 1:1 copies, but sometimes I use Handbrake to re-encode titles to get them down from 50-80GB to 15-25 GB without any perceptual difference in video quality. ![]() All of my blurays are re-encoded with Handbrake (I'm now re-encoding w/ H265 10-bit which provides superior quality with reduced banding, and re-encode all non-Atmos and non-DTS:X audio tracks using AAC at high quality), so my average file is between 5GB - 8GB per movie. Although, I don't think I would want to do that. I guess that leaves the only option of using a RAID configuration for multiple drives. ![]() Plus, I don't like the idea of having 1 drive being movies from A-M and a second drive being N-Z. For example, I would constantly have to rearrange the files on the multiple drives to keep them in alphabetical order. Keeping this the same way would be a nightmare with multiple drives. ![]() All the mkv files are named after the movie and displayed in alphabetical order. I would not be interested any compression since that would defeat the purpose and I would only want to use 1 hard drive for my collection.Ĭurrently, I store my regular Blu Ray movies on 1 drive. So, I wanted to ask how people do it and why. I don't even think a single drive comes that big. Now with 4K Blu Rays, I believe the amount of space would triple! That would mean you would need about a 15TB drive for a collection of 200 titles. This will allow me to have about 200 titles which I never plan on exceeding. I have a 5TB internal drive just for my Blu Ray movies. I use them to rip and watch the small collection of Blu Ray movies I have. I have been using MakeMKV and VLC Player for many years.
