I don't think that's all that's needed. There will be Wikimedians scouring the Internet for all free video in all of its forms (of which there is quite a lot) and uploading it to Commons. You'll need an entire encoding farm. Hard drives are cheap, its true, but redundant storage is less cheap as a function of reliability.

Hard drives are cheap, the WMF can just buy more if that is all that is needed.
