3x 3TB
2x 2TB
1x 1TB
14TB in total - Only backup the 1TB drive, everything else i could get again.
They're all run either from a simple D-Link NAS box or my PC, i'm waiting for the new HP Microserver to be released next month and will then move 5 drives into that. Or i'll build an ITX based machine if the HP server isn't discounted like the N40L.
Currently in the progress of back filling my library, as i had a mixture of 480p and 720p. New fill is going to be 720p for all TV and 1080p for all movies. I'm around 3TB through currently, should reach the limit of capacity within 2 weeks.
I don't store music, i just pay and use Deezer.
I can't wait for the day the industry gets it's act together and i'm able to pay Netflix for unilateral access to all new and old Movies and TVs from every studio or network... I'd quite happily a big sum of money each month for that. Then i wouldn't have to keep all this media stored!

14TB of unRAID storage + 2TB of Parity disk. (8 x 2TB drives)
Home to library of DVD and Blu-ray ISOs (ripped 1:1 with no recompression), my music library (Apple Lossless and duplicates at either 320k MP3 or 256k AAC), and an archive of TV recordings in either .ts or .wtv (Windows Media Center) format (no recompression)
Been very happy with unRAID for the last 4 years or so. It just works. Have migrated from a mix of 500GB and 1TB drives to 2TB drives, and changed motherboards and cases. My unRAID is like the 50 year old broom that's had 2 new handles and 2 new heads! (Though the data on it, and the USB Flash boot stick are the same!)

So far I have 6 TB of movies and TV shows, almost completely full, and another 400 GBs for "media", meaning music, short videos that aren't movies or TV shows, etc. I need to add more storage soon, thinking about buying 3 TB drives instead of 2 TB drives at this point.
I back up the important stuff.

Umm, around 30TB of storage - unRAID with a 3TB parity. This houses movies, music, TV shows, and backups of machines on my network. I'm not sure how much of that is dedicated to DVD and BD but I'd say that a significant percentage of it is. I have about 10TB free and I have several spare 3TB drives waiting in the wings if needed. Some of my drives in the system are 1.5 and 2TB but most are 3TB. I have 24 hot swap bays, 16 dedicated to unRAID. I do not backup this beast but having had drive failures in the past I'm confident in the software. So long as there's no fire or lightning strike I'm comfortable...
This is being run from an ESX server that is host to multiple VMs to include those that do SAB\Sick\and NZB indexing, one of the others is a FreeNAS server that hosts storage for the ESX server itself - booted from an SSD. This replaced 2x full tower unRAID servers and multiple other machines on my network :-)
