An uncompressed DVD is only 9GB max - 2.5TB is still ~300 movies.


And is ~3750 movies, assuming a 700mb dvdrip. ~550 movies, assuming 4.7gb rips (Which can be either standard DVDs with all the audio tracks that you can go and reburn again or 720p rips with one audio track). Which is a bit more impressive.

Just because a DL-DVD can hold ~8.5gb data doesn't mean its all always used.


Getting 300 movies is fairly easy.
