If you use a ssd keep it in mind it has a limited amount of write cycles, which is probably fine for using it as a backup. But I've read that it needs to be powered on every now and then to refresh the nand memory.

Roger Wright wrote: Manually copying this much material to a HDD wil take years
Let me put a word in favor of manual copying. My collection has about 400 DVD's and the "pipeline" is very simple: create an ISO image; use Handbrake to convert it to MP4. It takes only about 15-20 min to create an ISO image and I do other things while DVD's are being copied. When copying is complete the program makes a ring-a-ding and I just plop another DVD in there. Conversion to MP4 takes much longer but Handbrake allows you queue many jobs that I let running overnight. I never kept track of how much time I actually spent converting those DVD's, but now if I do a short calculation, turns out to be about 2 full weeks.
I keep both ISO images and the MP4 in case I decide to fiddle around with Handbrake parameters (it has so freaking many parameters!) to get a better image.

I hope this group can find it in their harts to forgive me for posting this here...
but I need to vent...
I run into a BIG ( for me ) issue so I asked "customer service " for SOLUTION.
I received a (AI?) message saying the issue has been solved, (please) post "how we did ".
The message did not say anything about the actual "solution".
So I checked the "bug post " and it contains this "solution ":
Everyone should be responsible for their behavior, even on internet.
As workaround, you can create another account, start a new life on internet.
So - it i obviously my fault and I need to "get a new one "....
It does not count I told them I cannot update my code using new account...
I am locked by their security to the original.
NO, I am not complaining, it would not make beans if I did.
I am just curious how the outfit expect to stay in business with such "friendly customer attitude"..
PS They certainly lost my business, and obviously do not care.
Thanks for watching...
Cheers

You lost me, did the 'solution' solve your problem? If so, good, you should be happy. Now what does creating another account as a work around for some mysterious thing, have to do with this non-complaint?

This is par for the course for OP. Everywhere he goes (even non-internet) he gets into these situations and whines about people treating him badly. He has a long history here on CP under a number of different ids: Vaclav Sal, Vaclav, Member 14968771, Salvatore Terress, and the present one. He even wrote a message to Chris a while back complaining that everyone here is attacking him.

How can I find if a user has been on here under a different name/account?
I remember the Salvatore Terress fiasco from a few months ago and this account is eerily similar to that if they're not the same person.
I also wonder why OP is like this
