I have an enormous cd collection. Probably between 10 to 15 thousand. Will the sea gate 2 terabyte be enough null

Question

Yeet · Accepted Answer

It should be enough, just depends on how much memory space each individual CD will take

Well, Rick. Here's the math. 700 MB per CD times 15,000 CDs = 10.5 TB. So you'd need about 5 or 6 of them.

It depends on the file size.

Get 2 just in case if you don't need both take one back just don't open it until late you know you need it

Not even close. 

If you assume an estimate of 500MB for a typical CD of 12 songs... and use your minimum number of 10,000 CDs... That's 500 * 10000 = 5,000,000MB -- or 5 TB estimated. 
I'm not sure about this drive as I did not need the feature, but there are drives out there that you can daisy chain so you can connect multiples in series to create as one huge data archive. Many music folks (and DVD folks) use this method. There's also the option of a media server if you do not need portability.
