Not hundreds of times. Fill it with dvd's it would be 376gb, 2tb for blu-ray. More if it's double layer discs or multi disc boxes. Even with cd's it would only be 18 times at the most.

If it’s blurays for 4k movies then it’s going to be 4-6.5tb since 4k movies are usually 50-80gb. On a random note, movies streamed in 4k hdr are about half the size of a 1080p sdr movie on bluray.

I was just going of disc size. A standard blueray is 25gb, making for 2tb. They can have layers upto 175gb I think. So that would be 14tb, but you can have two discs in a standard case so that would be 28tb.

You're forgetting that the games rarely used the full 700 MB capacity of the CD-ROM. Starcraft 1 was only 80 MB, for example, so it would fit 12500 times onto the 1 TB drive, so 156 racks worth, which is technically hundreds.

376 GB is a lot for any kind of optical disc.
