Hi. I know it`s already been talked some stuff about this, but sill i have one dilema: i want to transcode all my old stuff for better space management.

And i have the choice of x264 software or x265 hardware encoding. The x265 software encoding would take too much time and power.

Have any of you made any comparison between the 2 options ?

    The time is free. It’s machine time, which means that it doesn’t reduce the amount of time you have to spend on other things. If we’re talking about time spent doing actual work, installing something like Tdarr and pointing it at your collection is probably going to take less time than buying and installing a new hard drive.
