Looking for HDD Recommendation for UGreen DXP2800 Hosting Media Server

Looking for HDD Recommendation for UGreen DXP2800 Hosting Media Server

I'm looking to build my first NAS and I think I've finally decided on the NAS model, but I'm having trouble figuring out what type of storage I would need. My plan is to do a RAID 1 Configuration. The primary purpose of my NAS will be a home media server on Jellyfin, but I'll likely use it for some other stuff too. From what I've found on my own research is that if I purchase 2x8TB HDD I should be good to start out, but I'm not 100% sure on that. I've also found that the 3 types below are the most recommended. I think 8TB usable storage should be good enough for now. I'm also not sure if I should be considering an m.2 for my purposes quite yet, I'm not looking to spend more than $1000 (or close to it) on this for now.

DVD Ripping Size Question

Hi there! I'm ripping some old DVDs for the first time and have found the size to be quite small. At first it is 720x480 but then after running it through handbrake to encode it for jellyfin and reduce the file size its something like 718x380 or similar. Does anyone know if this is normal / if there's a way to rip higher quality off of DVDs or enhance it afterwards?
