What I've been doing the last week: transferring around 16 TB of DL & other media "stuff" to new 10- and 12-TB drives for better organization and easier access (all LN now on 1 drive, LS on another). Now to consolidate further. Alert the news channels.

You thought about using H.265 to compress those videos?

You should! It can reduce file size up to 50% while still keeping a good picture. Definitely worth looking into.

No. Save original files at highest resolution possible, such as Apple Pro Res - archivists agree it will be around a century. Storage has never been cheaper. Pro Res affords many benefits in color correction / editing. Transcode originals to lower resolution for posting online.

You two battle this one out. I haven’t the time to convert thousands of video files to Apple Pro Res nor the inclination to further reduce their resolution. They’ll remain as they are.

Well ProRes wouldn't help for the videos you've already got. Now transferring tapes directly to ProRes or .mxf while keeping the proper interlacing would be ideal! But for the amount of content you've got, H.265 wouldn't be the worst way to compress video.

I’d rather just get more disk space.
