    On the bright side, 20TB of hard drives is relatively cheap these days if you buy used. They’ll pay for themselves in a year if you kill the streaming services.

    Happy sailing

        Might as well just rent a server at that point, more memory and performance for basically the same price.

          You’re not getting a rented VPS for the cost of a 12tb hdd. You’re not getting any space with a server for that cost.

            12tb is literally $100 right now new. also my fellow hoarders, save a bookmark to that site it’s great.

            If you want to hit eBay and buy used disks, you can probably build something with redundancy and 20tb+ for around $300. If you’ve got a machine laying around and don’t plan on downloading everything on every service, you can grab 16tb used for $100, use one drive for parity, and the spend $50 when you run out of space for another 8tb.

              I run drivebender and a whole JBOD setup with random storage in it for this purpose. It works great and has been through 3 different homes and over 8 years now. Drives become cold storage when I upgrade a new one.
