Ethernet or Wi-Fi connection for video streaming?

POE is a godsend for these.

For online access like Netflix 4K, 5Ghz wifi has always worked fine for me in the “other” rooms.

However, my main home streaming setup is generally from a NAS loaded up with about 1000 Blu-Ray rips to MKV with no [additional] video compression and the native Dolby TrueHD or DTS-MA audio. I feed my video streamer over Cat6a cable back to the server running Plex.

Can you advise what TB storage size you have in your NAS to hold 1000 blu ray rips as I was thinking about ripping my dvd’s and blu ray discs myself.
I had read that you needed about 25GB for one blu ray disc rip, is that figure correct?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Most of my discs are 36GiB for Blu-Ray and 3GiB for DVD. So 1000 rips is more like 50% DVD and 50% Blu-Ray. My NAS is 24TB RAID10. And I backup to external cold storage often.
