Ah, I see. 4k Blu-ray's are the only media I own that I am unable to get onto my plex server right now, and I'm keeping an ear out for anything that can help remedy the problem. 

Well hey, I can ask him tomorrow for links to things on how he does it. I don't know how willing he will be to share his ways though, he always talks about how awesome it is. Lol.

That would be fantastic!

This is why my server is expandable.  At 33.5TB and growing but I can add HDDs as I need them, negating te need for a huge upfront investment of drives and as time goes on drives get larger/cheaper so it makes more sense financially.

well I am about to be a content creator but why do people store their every videos? I mean they are on YouTube forever 

Video production places keep the original files, always the final output but also if they can all the raw footage from each camera. Once the video is uploaded to youtube it gets transcoded and the original quality is lost among other things like colour balance etc.

 

You never really want to be working with youtube videos when reusing footage etc, it's nearly impossible to match up footage from a camera and youtube to look balanced/equal. Once something is lost you can never get it back, that's why the CSI stuff on TV is such a load of crap (generally speaking).

I saw you earlier on r/datahoarder

 

Many people fill their storage with linux ISOs or porn.

I remember my first TB back in 2003, now I have over 250TB and I think I could do with more space.

 

Some people have 4x titan Xp, personally my 1070 is mroe than enough, but different people have different needs, and for some people, we need storage, and lots of it!

You "rip" it from 4k Blu-ray's.

I find that the more storage one has access to the more careless they become with it. I know for a fact that I've got duplicate or useless files on my server cuase I've still got 2.6TB left and there's basically no way I can use all of that anytime soon. Once I start running of of space I'll clean up some stuff.

If you ever want to rework with an old video, much better to have the source files. Much like in movie production they never throw away the original tapings/recordings which has allowed a lot of older movies to be "remastered." They certainly don't take the DVD and attempt to remaster it... However there are cold storage solutions online that are very cheap vs buying you own 100TB worth of storage.

 

I have about 22tb which is filling up quickly. My biggest hogs are movies #1 and virtual machines #2. Music / pictures and such barely take up 1tb.

They never throw stuff away nowadays... but look at old Star Trek or especially Doctor Who, which has literally dozens of lost episodes.....

That's the problem with physical media, it can get lost etc. Or be in a pile of crap and no body knows what's in that pile.
