Yeah I’m stuck on the “expensive” part still. I built one, but very quickly ran out of storage. I’m looking to buy some 18tb drives but holy hell they are expensive.
Got a list of suggestions?. I have 50 tbh free and slowly doing a big clean/replace with prefered groups, would love ‘forever’ reccomends.
Little tinfoil hat but looking to buffer the enshittification of commercial services.
I don’t really have a system either. Obviously I started out with the shows I personally like and watch, but at this point I’m just picking up random shows I stumble upon.

Well, I’m running 9x 20TB drives …
How much were they? And any regrets?
Around $340 each. Not so far, but I did just hit 70%, I have to think about expanding soon …
without asking you to incriminate yourself…
I always wonder: what the hell is everyone saving so much of?
like I do photogrammetry sometimes and even then, if I backup all source imagery, I still won’t fill a couple of terabytes…
Piracy. I have around 50TB of TV shows, 8TB of movies and 1TB of music.

What’s your configuration, if you don’t mind sharing?
12 Bay Synology NAS, with 8 of the drives in a raid 6, the 9th is a hot spare. A total of 108TB usable space.
