or a media server, which is multiple drives, in a box, setup as a network server
number of 'files/movies' to be stored depends on the format
direct DVD copies will take up 3 times the space as 'converted' movie/video files
but that means , converting each movie, rather than just 'copy/decrypting' to the external storage
i'm lazy, i have 3 terabytes of storage, i just 'rip/copy' the whole DVD to one of the external drives
i can watch them on the PC, or use the sony media player and watch them on the TV
i can also use the PC to watch them on the TV
they older the 'storage date' the more likely it will be accessed via the media player and watched on the TV
Western digital live media player works for me along with a 2 terabyte hardrive all connected to either 40" flat screens via hdmi cable. Also you can share your collection with your friends by simply copying whatever to a usb stick and I also store 45+ gigs of music as well.
