My equivalent of the above - huge collection of x265 encoded 1080p movies, few tv shows, some anime, some disney/similar, quite a few documents that I mostly viewed and deemed worthy of keeping, or all ratings are so ridiculously high that it simply is a quality movie and I will enjoy it once I will see it later. FYI downloading this is perfectly legal where I live (Switzerland). That's one 10TB drive which isn't even full and I keep adding stuff that gets released (or re-released via remasters, various cuts etc).
x265 takes around 1.5GB for 1080p per movie in a very fine quality for us. I've collected it incrementally over time.
I can stream it form desktop PC or notebooks, anything with HDMI would work, no issues with codecs, subtitles etc. Never too lazy to do few clicks to watch something for 1.5-2.5h.
As for searching, Total commander has built in probably most powerful and intuitive disk search I ever saw, you can search by many criteria of file and its content (not form video perspective obviously).
I just organized it all via normal folders, and export current content of that HDD into simple text file if I need to check if I already have it, and if yes in what form. Normally HDD is turned off, I don't access it that often.
