Hi Everyone,
I just bought an Apple TV 3 about a week and half ago. I've started adding movies to my iTunes library after ripping them from my Blu Ray discs using Make MKV & Handbrake.
Right now I'm letting the internal drive store the ripped movies but moving the MKV files to an external 1.5 TB drive that I used to use for my Time Machine backups. Unfortunately the drive is almost half full and I I know that I'll be adding way more movies in the future.
Here is what I'm thinking of doing. Right now I have a 3TB drive that I recently bought for Time Machine backups and have a 4TB drive on order. I want to use the 4TB to host my iTunes library, use the 3TB to back up the MKV & MV4 files and go back to the 1.5 TB drive for my Time Machine backup.
I'm thinking the 1.5 TB should last a while once my iTunes library is moved to the external drives. Music, movies, and other media take up about 400 GB on my drive and that will just grow over time if I leave it the way it is now.
I'm also thinking of getting Crash Plan for offsite backup of my computer and external drives. What do you all think? I appreciate your suggestions/opinions !!!
