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!
Usually fine for media only like Jellyfin, since you write every now and then new content, then only read from it for longer periods of time.
I probably wouldn’t go for a SMR drive anyways just because drives can last a long while and who knows what i’ll want to do with it in the future.
(If you use RAID, this advice doesn’t matter, but if you don’t run raid like me and only use it for media like in the example, I’d imagine it’d be fine)
