some may laugh at that speed lol

there’s nothing funny about the ridiculous cable prices some places charge :( i used to have 15mbps until i moved and got 1gbps… seeing a tv show finish downloading in 3 minutes was an eye opening experience

damn, 4k takes up so much space.

Really? You must be pretty unlucky - i don’t want to tempt fate here, but I’ve only had a couple of bad sectors here and there with my hard drives!

I rewatch old shows a lot actually - i like to keep sitcoms playing in the background when doing chores.

The good thing about JBOD is that it doesn’t take much work to set up at all (just plug em in), and you can access them any time. I tend to rewatch old shows a lot.

oh good call, thanks!

nah dude’s got 20 sticks of this haha

10 TB of RAM

I hope you mean hard disk space… otherwise I’m trying to imagine how many sticks of RAM you have there :)

wait till you collection grows beyond a few TB :)

i’ve been looking into snapRAID. It’s software-based and seems to work great if you don’t write/delete that much. Doesn’t require a NAS setup too, it can work on an existing install and hard drives with existing data!

Do you have all your hard drives connected to your computer/NAS or are they in cold storage? I have 6 HDDs/SSDs combined on my computer and no more available SATA/M2 slots…

I just added a bunch of hard disks to my own computer, so my costs were pretty low - if I spread out the cost of my hard drives it’s cost about $5 per month so far, and that number’s still slowly decreasing every month.

much better than what i said :) thanks!

that’s a really good price. was it used?

damn how’s your NAS configured? How many drives do you have?

Storage space isn’t as big a problem for music - for me, tv shows are the main issue.

I like to rewatch shows a lot in the background - I like having The Office or How I Met Your Mother on while i’m doing chores or something, so I have a lot of shows stored. It takes a lot of HDD space, but I also don’t have to pay for 3 different streaming services just to watch 3 shows

Seedboxes are typically a remotely hosted server in a strategically located datacentre, configured to provide users with a way to download and seed torrents more efficiently than at home.
