A better measurement would be a count of unique pieces of media. With a high enough quality for ripping DVDs you could easily fill 2.5TB.

- smanek 18y agoAn uncompressed DVD is only 9GB max - 2.5TB is still ~300 movies.
- Zev 18y agoAnd is ~3750 movies, assuming a 700mb dvdrip. ~550 movies, assuming 4.7gb rips (Which can be either standard DVDs with all the audio tracks that you can go and reburn again or 720p rips with one audio track). Which is a bit more impressive. Just because a DL-DVD can hold ~8.5gb data doesn't mean its all always used.
- nirmal 18y agoGetting 300 movies is fairly easy.
- ojbyrne 18y agoI've got 500 gigs of just photos I've taken (and I have 2 backup copies == 1.5 TB). Terabytes are going to be passe within 2-3 years. Waiting for the first petabyte drive.
