For a piracy-oriented community I’m surprised this isn’t discussed as much.

Do you ever store media, or delete them after watching? How do you store them?

I personally have 12TB worth of hard drives (3x4TB) in a JBOD configuration. Been wanting to upgrade my hard drives (they’re 6 years old) but I’m still a little skeptical of the helium drives and whether they will last…

    I store pretty much everything unless there is no chance for reuse. My current setup is a 4u unRAID server with 108TB of double parity protected storage (plus 2 2TB NVME drives in raid 1 for cache).

      I’m finally settling up a NAS and media server myself beyond just an old gaming computer. What do you use to setup caching on your nvme drives?

        The caching is a feature built into unRAID (which is the server OS I run. It’s not free but it’s a lifetime license for a super reasonable price. https://unraid.net/
