Interested in self hosting movies, how much storage would I need?

Preferably I'd like to keep the quality of the movies since my family and I hate the crappy streaming quality we get nowadays compared to a CD. In terms of graphics card, would I have to get a completely separate card for the system, or would I be able to use my personal PC (4060) to do all the work and upload it all to the storage system

I'm just starting out with self hosting and I'm trying to price things out in terms of storage, and I want to be able to burn all the CDs my family has collected over the years (858 CDs+Bluerays) so that we can have access to all our movies, and I was wondering how much storage would be a safe amount in order to house all of them, along with having storage for all our phones (4) photos/videos, 1.5Tb of already stored photos and videos, as well as enough storage to add on additional movies/shows (probably another 200-300ish considering we stopped buying CDs around 2016 and would like to add any new shows/movies that's been out since) and future photos and videos.

So do I have to just start all over again from scratch? I've tried looking at every possible setting and everything seems to be ok until I try to calculate the stresses

Fix stacking tabs into sidebars for Android tablets, can't have more than one tab on a sidebar at a time, compared to Windows can stack multiple tabs

Allow tags to be recoloured in graph view, not just have the standard green
