I’ve seen many people have insane setups to download things automatically and NAS’ with tens of terabytes of capacity, which i don’t understand at all.
I have a 1 tb drive from 2013 of which I’m using ~850GB and most of the space is used by series i have already watched and haven’t bothered to delete.
What are you storing to need so much space and how are you finding so much good content that you actually want to save?
I have Jellyseerr set up so that I and my friends can request things that will automatically get pulled down. It also has trending and upcoming content, so I sometimes find stuff there. Also, generally, I just see/hear people talking about stuff and want to check it out.
I had 2TB of space when I got my NAS, and that was more than enough for my lab, until I started downloading media. Then I bumped it to 4TB and then recently 12TB.
I want to have content for myself and my users. I will occasionally delete things if I don’t think anyone else will want to watch it and I won’t want to rewatch it. That’s usually nothingy action flicks.
