Rogjt128 GB doesn't cost a significant amount more, just depends on how many movies you want to have.
Speed isn't that important for playing the movies off of the storage.
Right but I feel like that is a huge convenience being able to quickly transfer them when I want to watch a movie. The cheap drive I have now feels like it takes forever.I'd give it 10-16, depending on the movie file sizes. High speed doesn't really mean a whole lot. The files will transfer a bit faster, but it's not going to affect the video playback.

You can just stream it off of the stick.

Are you going to be doing that a lot? You can probably hold around 30-40 movies on 128GB (at 1080p).
Ok, so you would prob go w the Extreme and it's speed writing over high storage?Hundreds of thousands of reads and writes need to occur before the drive is shot. It won't happen in your lifetime.

I was just informed that most actual BluRay rips are at least 21 GB. Is this true?If you're that set on the extreme, just get the extreme.
For the best picture quality how big does it have to be?If you go completely lossless then yes they can be that large. However you can get 1080P files that are anywhere from 1GB-21GB.

go completely lossless
A single layer Blu-Ray disc is 25GB, and a dual-layer is 50GB, so I'd imagine somewhere around there.How big is a lossless rip?
