I used to be like that, I had collected physical DVDs and Blu-ray for my movie collection. Until eventually I realised it was silly of me to do so. Because it takes up space and also prone to damages and data corruption. Not to mention the hassle of opening the box,take the discs out, load them into a drive. And in the case of PC installations, swapping discs as you go to the next. Then there’s also the time it takes to read data from optical discs.
So I got myself terabytes of SSD and start ripping all those physical discs and store them digitally to those SSDs. And I got myself a media player that can play my ripped Blu-ray discs directly from the SSD and hot swappable too. No more lags from read speed as the files are instantly accessed from the SSD. And everything already available and directly accessible from one place.
Suffice to say, I’ve ended up digitising all my physical media and my cabinet is replaced with just SSD with all my contents inside.
But that’s just me.
