Hard drives are never cheap enough, and most people like us, only look at them as cheap from a historical perspective. When you're buying 6 drives at a time it's till a bit of a hit, especially if you're going to have some space dedicated to redundancy and/or backups. And we can' forget the price of enclosures/controllers to be able to connect those drives.

I have a ReadyNAS with 4x 1.5TB and 2x 2TB right now configured with dual drive redundancy, for a total of almost 5.5TB of usable storage and while I still have plenty free, I'd really prefer to have double that with an identical array set aside to back it up.

What are you guys using to rip DVDs? DVD Shrink has been able to handle any disc I've used it with so far.
