Why on earth do you have so many DVD drives. Also, are you using Windows?
Sorry to be so judgmental
That’s awesome you have a server for ripping. I made a dedicated machine using my old desktop.
Ryzen 1700, 16gb ram, 12 dvd / Blu-ray drives (one drive does 4k Blu-ray’s) and 2 more usb Blu-ray drives on top.
I ripped so many thousands of DVDs that my neighbor gave me after he passed away.
I did do custom firmware for the internal drive for 4k ripping, but didn’t find the right firmware for the external ones (years ago). Maybe I can find it again once we unpack our storage. We are moving to another state now. Thanks for the info!
4,000 disks is insane
Maybe post to datahorders as well. I can see why you need so many drives
Did you automate the backups?
Probably bought an old Redbox and is making a local backup of all the disks
Is that a Unifi PDU/UPS? Didn't even know they made these.
Also, you need to peel the stickers of the screens.
Only real reason IMO is dust can collect on the seam and it's annoying to clean without taking the peel off anyway.
IDK why people get weird about it.
It seems they don't make a variant for Europe so that's probably why I never heard of it.
