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!

    Nothing is hard when you know what you’re doing. :)
    Being able to completely wipe your compute machine and not worry is nice and imo easier.

    For only Jellyfin, then I agree - if that is where it stops you could run it all on an N100 integrated motherboard and have a lean sleek system that hosts your files and your streaming server. But when your services starts being too much for the N100 then it’s nice to separate it a bit and for me it feels natural to split it between compute/storage.
