Running OUT of SPACE! (UHD’s are MONSTERS)
Posted: Sun Feb 14, 2021 2:02 am
Is it just me, or is anyone else out there running out of space?!
I presently have a Synology DS3617xs (12 bay) with a [present] drive capacity of 40TB’s (that’s “T” as in Tera!! )
...But, as I’ve been going over to UHD Movies my capacity has DWINDLED (Significantly!), with a SPEED that is literally Taking-My-Breath-Away!
With DVD’s, I would save TON’s of Movies — and even my Synology seemed to have NO Problem with Blu Ray’s.
But, now, only TEN (10) UHD’s are eating up a full TeraByte!!!
I know, I know — many of you are going to recommend that I either add MORE (higher capacity) drives, or to Rip ONLY the main Movie (And yes, I am “Backing Up” [the ENTIRE disk] )
No, seriously, I know what I’m doing (seriously )
I’m just here [primarily] “Venting” about the INSANE Size of UHD rips.
I KNOW the image/display resolution makes them the Monsters that they are — But I SWEAR, if it wasn’t for having such a HUGE Synology, then I couldn’t/wouldn’t be able to store UHD’s (if this keeps up, then I’ll need at least 100TB, just to store all the UHD’s that I desire!)
I sometimes ask myself, is it (4K) Really Worth it?!? (I don’t even have a 4K TV [Yet] (will be getting one, soon though - Next Costco sale )).
But, before you guys out there say anything, I’ll just [indeed] ADD a few more Higher Capacity Drives (and stop my Whining/Crying )
I DO have up to a capacity of 192TB (and higher, if I add an extension unit).
So (again), I’m just here Lamenting (and Venting) about the CRAZY size of UHD’s (That’s All).
Thanks for Listening
PS/BTW - Any Newbies out there, learn from my lesson - Storage (with a HUGE Synology or QNAP NAS) is VITAL in this New (UHD) era — And it (the LOW capacity Warning) WILL happen, SOONER, than Later
