I feel so small with only 2TB of external storage hooked to my iMac. a 500GB that holds backups and a 1.5TB that holds my digital media.
|
i know, that's how i feel too.

I am about to scan in all our photos soon though... so I might pick up another 2TB drive soon.

okay, seriously, if everybody is doing it, i'm going to have to buy a new harddrive or two as well.

I have (still in the process) ripped all my DVDs. I encode them all as H.264 cause I really don't care about all the extras. Also for the TV show ones I want each TV show as its own file.

hm, i'm really tempted. those dvd boxes take up ridiculous amounts of space, especially when you consider the size of their actual contents. it's just absurd. i do like the extras (when there are any, which is not always) but i could rip the extras too. i would have to look into codecs and such though since i've never done that before.

However, I don't plan to get rid of the DVDs, but do plan to move them to a less accessible place. This will give us more room on book shelfs for my Board Games and Video Games and the few books I decided to keep after going ebook.

*sigh* if only i had a "less accessible place" to move mine to.
