> are we looking at days Worst case scenario, the drive can only read the disk at playback speed. So a 2 hour movie could take 2 hours. In practice it will be much faster than that. Note that a 50GB Blu-ray that plays for 2 hours is only 56mbps on average. So you won’t be limited by decryption/disk/network speed even on a very old computer that writes to a single HDD on your NAS over 100mbps Ethernet. If you want to transcode to make the file size smaller, don’t bother. An old computer will take ~20 hours to encode 2 hours of HD video unless you’re fine with YIFY level quality.
