You gotta pump those numbers up
Storage is expensive :/
That's already almost 36tb, after conversion to HEVC which compressed it ~40%
Storage is cheaper than it’s ever been if you get HDDs

You can get 12tb renewed drives for $100. A lot will even have decent warranties. If you’re lying for like, 3 streaming services, and cancel all three in favor of saving your own media locally it pays for itself quickly. Especially if you download stuff from like HBO Max.
This is doubly true now that streaming services have started raising prices and pay walling content.
