It’s an investment. It’s like the price of a small car. But it was built over time, so not like one lump sum.
Originally, it was to have easier access to my already insane Blu-ray collection. But I started getting discs from Redbox, rental stores, libraries, etc. they are full rip, not that compressed PB stuff. Now there are like 3000 movies and fuck knows how many tv shows.
A lot of my effort was to have the best release available. Or, have things that got canceled. Like the Simpsons episode with MJ, which is unavailable to stream.
Snags… well, synology is sooo easy. Once you figure out how you want you drives set up, there’s nothing to it.
Whatever you do, always have redundant drives. Yes, you lose space, but eventually one of them is gonna die and you don’t want to lose data.
You should write a will instructing your family to send those disks to the internet archive for preservation if something happened to you.
