Well said. Just finished building a media server with a lot of content (won't say how much as that could be incriminating), and I love it. Not all tech is bad though. I am DYING to get a set of the newly remastered LOTR in 4k. Also, the newer UHD players add a very impressive amount of quality to older content via upscaling and other algorithms.
My wife asked me why I kept over 8 boxes of movies and dvds I've purchased over the years. I told her they'd come in useful someday. I filled my entire external with my boxes of movies I loved enough to buy. Entire TV shows. Stargate sg-1. Heck. Classic flipper. Lassie. Andy griffith. I lost a couple due to badly scratched disc's but most of them were intact. Took me a while to finish the project!
Nicely done! I too have a nice collection of purchased media that I tote around. To be honest, I just think it's cool to have the cases and the artwork that come with them. But lossless DVD rips are so small that you can pack an insane amount of movies on an 8 TB HDD. Hell, you can get about 130 lossless UHD rips on one. Not even sure they have released that many movies in UHD yet.
But nice. I too was an SG-1 fan. Watched it when it was airing on old school sci fi channel. Watched Seaquest too. Bummer on scratches. Can sometimes fix with toothpaste. Also, god forbid it happens, but if your HDD fries and you ever need to rip them again install multiple burn drives. I have 3 and it makes it wayyy faster.
