Hey hey.
So my WD Blues are getting up there in age, they're from 2013 and 2014. Not much load on them though. The main reason for the new drives is a plan to put my movies on them. I don't know how much space I need, but I'll try to snag a 4TB drive (or two if good enough price) on Black Friday, or after that if no deals present themselves.
But I have no idea what are good drives these days. The WD Reds have good reviews and seem cheap, but I'd love more input. The main use will be pure storage. In the long (or short) run I might setup a media server (Plex or whatevs) but they will see little use apart from the early ripping process.
Which brings me to my second question: is there a good program for ripping DVDs? Like the entire things, with subtitles and different audio tracks (for commentaries), while being somewhat clever about it (i e less time doing handiwork with the files after ripping, for instance those shows where they make each disc one file with timestamps)? I looked at this about six months ago and and didn't really find one that made me happy. I didn't spend a lot of time on it though, but I feel it definitely is time to do it.
Any input is appreciated.
And BTW, there will be no backups. The discs shall serve as backup.
