      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.
