[SOLVED] 4K content kill storage space?

[Vayne77]

So I'm only have 1080p monitor right now...and since I love to collect TV series (download offline from Netflix (not using netflix in built donwload but download straight to my HDD so I can see it with VLC or other Mp4 player)...with the help of 3rd party software) it can kill storage space quickly...for comparison 1 Tv Series with 78 Episode at 1080p resolution takes up around 130 GB storage space...right now I can handle this with 16 TB HDD....but anyone know what's the size of 40 mins content space in 4K? for 1080p 40 Min can take around 1.2-1.5 GB on average

45 minutes episode will use ~ 5.1GB of data.

Damn since the highest HDD size is 14-16 TB for seagate or WD if I'm not wrong....4K Content is going to be imposibble to collect for me

1 Series with 50 episode going to take 250 GB size lol

This is when you get a 4 or 8 bay NAS, and start filling it up with large drives.

Currently, I have 50TB space available. If needed, I could easily double or triple that.
(But I don't need, so...)

Which HDD brand you use?

Which HDD brand you use?

WD, Toshiba, Seagate.

On an individual drive basis, there is NO advantage of one brand over another. Reliability, they are within a percentage point or two.
