It may not equate to the 20TB of storage this would hold but it would hold alot more movies due to smaller file size. A 2hour 1080p film in matroska format with 5.1 would be about 8GB. Doing the maths, you would have to get 5x 750GB films to get 400 films. But thats buckets more flexible and disregarding that, its heaps more reliable too.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Skyride]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 7th 2008 7:24PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Hands-on: Sony shows off prototype 400-disc Blu-ray Mega Changer]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/04/sony-shows-off-prototype-400-disc-blu-ray-mega-changer/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/04/sony-shows-off-prototype-400-disc-blu-ray-mega-changer/</guid><description><![CDATA[This just proves even more that optical data storage is COMPLETELY OUTDATED.
