1080p movies can vary quite a bit in size. How many audio channels? How many languages? Lossy or lossless audio? What kind of compression has been done to the video itself? How many keyframes?
And what is a decent collection of media? With high standards for multimedia you may only get a few dozen TV shows or maybe 50 or so movies per 2TB drive.
As for music, in today's age there isn't much reason to settle for less than FLAC, you will still be very hard-pressed to fill up 2TB with just music. I've recently taken to ripping music videos and adding them to my artist folders and I'm still having a hard time filling up my damn music drive.
Of course, people have different reasons for storing media. For some it's just about quantity and not quality, but some of us are preparing for the digital dark ages and want to make sure our media is of the highest quality so that it might be useful to others one day. It's all about that 48/96khz 24-bit, baby.
