Piracy
For me that was one of the worst financial moves ever made.
Plex server go brrrrr
How so?
Well, for the amount of money I spend on hard drives and other hardware I could subscribe to Netflix for about 30 years.
How much disk space do you need?
I have a simple 500GD HDD ($25) and a 230GB (?).
I also have $120 worth of DVD and CD for ~$60 thanks to Goodwill
Fits nicely.
My current raw capacity is at 160 TB.
Wild! I've got about 40 TB myself, and have never come across someone with more... let alone four times more.
I'm at 208RB raw, but actually only have 120TB in active use
40 TB was my previous capacity and based around a really cheap 2 bay NAS with a mess of external USB drives attached and no backup ... and is now pretty much full.
So I ordered a 12 bay NAS (with, for now 6x 20TB disks) to bascially replace the entire old setup. I'm also planning to put the new setup in RAID 5 or 6, so it will only have an effective storage of 80-100 TB.
Would Tdarr help?
Don't forget some people run RAID, which means you need duplicates of the HDD. That really adds up.
My only pain is destroying all those VCD/SVCDs and shitload of DVD-Rs full of .avi files.
All garbage when watching from modern high def TVs.
