Hi, I’m self hosting a jellyfin server and I wondering if anyone could give advice abt my setup. I have an internal 2tb ssd and I’m using a external 2tb ssd. I’m looking to make my setup more cohesive and less of a headache. I want more storage for media but I don’t know where to start. I looked online to price compare drives and I saw a 14tb hhd for $160, is this a good price for a hard drive? I also haven’t been able to make tdarr work with my gpu so most of my media is probably taking more space than it needs. Any advice would be appreciated!

    Switch to Stremio (with Torrentio) and never worry about running out of storage space again. Everything is streamed directly to your TV, no downloading necessary. Browse like it’s Netflix and just pick something then watch it. Plus there’s support for home theater enthusiasts with features like HDR, Dolby Atmos, 4K, etc.

I used my server to provide streams to friends and family but this seems to all in one solution I could forward them the link and have a set up guide on my domain now.

        I think the greatest advantage of this is to probably watch a few episodes of show before committing to downloading it especially long series or quick movies. Does everyone in the world need backups of movies and TV shows? I know seeding is an important factor to passing media along but it also feels like hoarding and I’m not a hoarder. It feels like a fine line to cross
