Because I'm bored,

According to this website, as of its publication date (Aug 26, 2015) there is 34,739 hours of content on Netflix. It is safe to assume that this is a pretty big underestimate due to the age of the data. Looking at a handful of other sources, it's safe to round this up to around 50,000 hours.

So now that we have the total runtime, we can figure out how we plan to store all of this. Because we aren't savages, we'll be storing the video in 1080p. Having a look at an old Netflix development blog, their 1080p titles in H264 codec was originally stored at roughly 4300kbps. From this we can extrapolate the bitrate using a more modern codec. If we jump into the future a bit, the most promising codec is AV1, the successor of Google's VP9 and a direct competitor of HEVC. While there are little performance statistics on AV1, sources have shown in its current state it is on par with HEVC for most situations.

Having a look at the Wikipedia article for HEVC, we can see that HEVC (+ AV1) has a 62% bitrate reduction on average when compared to H264. This means that our 4300kbps can be shrunk down to 1634kbps. To reduce confusion for this next part, we will convert that to kilobytes instead. 204.25KBps.

So now we just convert 50,000 hours to seconds, which gives us 180,000,000 seconds. Times that by 204.25KBps and we get 36,765GB.

To convert that to SSD's, we have to decide if we're talking M.2 SSD's or SATA. We will take the lighter option. However, realistically, there are most certainly other storage methods that would be far more efficient.

The highest density consumer SSD I could find would be the Samsung 960 M.2 2TB SSD which has a weight of 9.07 grams. 36.765TB/2TB=18.3525 SSD's. Round that up to 19. 19 times 9.07g gives you 172.33g, or 0.378lbs.

According to this, the Falcon Heavy can lift 1lb at a cost of $2,200. This means that sending the whole Netflix library on a stack of NVMe drives would cost $831.60 to send it up to space, which is less than the cost of a single drive. 19 of these drives would cost $22,799.81.

These are all rough estimates based on guesswork and stuff I found on the internet, but it should give you a rough estimate for your question.

The best and biggest SSD you can get right now is the m.2 NVMe Samsung Pro 970 2TB. I personally have the Samsung EVO 970 2TB and it’s a great SSD (just a tiny bit slower than the Pro.)
Pro:

EVO:

For Ram, you will want 2666 MHz 260-Pin SODIMMS. I recommend buying a matching set (so they are matched, and are paired so they run optimally for dual channel use.) I would recommend a matched set of 32gb (2x16gb) Hyper X impact (made by Kingston.)

Well I didn't post a full on build photo set as it is Factorio and not PCMR or Build A PC.

I have the old one TB HD from the PC that died and a New one of these

The PSU is a Corsair. So I got that covered too. Frankly I am a bit of a Corsair fanboy. Everything from them I have purchased I have been pleased with.

This is specing: 1080p 120 fps and 4k 30 fps


Do not buy a video card. Wait for NVidia's January 4th, 2017 announcement.

I think the place you're lacking is in your video card. This is what is going to be a huge part of your user experience when rendering.

This video shows some reasonable cards that you can slap into a Desktop.

It seems the Quadro 2x P6000 GFX card would make you a studio god for $5k.

Second, your hard drive access greatly affects your render time. This calculator shows data usage stats.. From what you are saying, you're going to need Space and Speed. Playing with 1 hour of raw 4k 30fps video is about 6TB. Speed... you want an M.2 drive. Best you're going to do is a 2 TB drive for $1300. If money is not a concern, go with a RAID-5 internal HDD system and get 4 3 TB hard drives. You will have great speed and stability with that.

You're going to have to buy a new motherboard that can sit an M.2 SSD, the RAM, the ok processor, and your GFX card. To save you some money, go to Micro Center or craigslist and explain to what you want a consultant to do and that you already have some parts. They'll work with you to build a machine at a good price. With labor considered, you may save $200.

In all honestly, putting money into the camera and lenses is a bit more important than render time. Your video look great and from a consumer end, I don't know if you rendered it on a laptop or a studio. Your camera however does tell me those things.

I don't know if you're made of money or not...

But I think I'd go with Samsung's new [960 Pro] (https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-960-PRO-Internal-MZ-V6P1T0BW/dp/B01LY3Y9PH/) in which ever size meets your needs. I swear there are PCIe 3.0 8x cards that'll hold a pair of m.2 cards, but all I could quickly find is this 3.0 4x card that holds one, [Lycom DT-120 M.2 PCIe to PCIe 3.0 x4 Adapter] (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00MYCQP38/) for example.

Is [Intel SSD DC P3600] (https://www.amazon.com/Intel-P3600-SSDPEDME012T401-1-2TB-Height/dp/B00L0LFGQQ/) what you're talking about? I'd double check that the 960 Pro out performs it... but if they're pretty close, you can get 2x the space w/ the new Samsung M.2 NVMe SSDs.

It depends on what you do with your PC, and how it's constructed. Most people have storage and network bottlenecks that prevent full utilization of the CPU they already have. With NVMe storage to unleash the I/O this thing can really fly. Throw in a nice big 4k monitor and a decent GPU and your 3D engineering visualizations will be as good as your ability to make...

Unless you're doing something heavy duty though, probably not. Intel has resisted giving us the high core count for years not because it's hard to make, but because normal desktop use doesn't need it but people who buy server platforms at scale won't hesitate to use them to host virtual machines if they can do it cheaper.

Jesus Christ. 4TB SSDs are like $1500 on Amazon right now.

I know this isn't the advice you want, but in today's world of multiple household devices, I am really enjoying having a reasonably small main hard drive and a NAS for everything else. You could have gotten this SSD for free for all I know, but if you did purchase this, you could have instead bought a 1TB NVMe drive for $480 which is at least 4x as fast as SATA SSDs and an 8TB NAS for $300.

Even the 2TB NVMe drives are going for $1,280 which leaves budget for that 8TB NAS.
