    If you are going to make this level of investment in ripping blu-rays then you need to think about the space requirements. At up to a possible 50Gb per movie a 8Tb server will hold depressingly few ripped Blu-Ray disks. Trust me I know. If you plan to rip blu-rays you need to start with a server that you can easily upgrade to 32Gb or more.

    I was scratching my head when I saw the blue ray drive.

    paul is right, 8tb may sound like alot on paper but when it comes down to investing any amount of money, this server just isn't worth it
