Until recently I stored my media library in folders. A tedious way to manage a collection.
I set up Jellyfin on my main machine as a test. I enjoy the experience and want to migrate to a NAS, for better reachability in my network. I am a beginner when it comes to networks.
I currently use a single 20TB HDD (current usage 80%) and another 4TB HDD is around somewhere. I was wondering what my options and recommended solutions are. Should I get 1, 2, or more 20TB drives? I want some redundancy, but don’t want to invest into too many drives.
Looking forward to any tips or resources to read up on. Thanks.
Look into Mergerfs+Snapraid. I’ve recently started using this setup for my media drives and it works great. Mergerfs allows you to treat any mixture of drives as one giant pool, while snapraid allows you to define parity drives for that pool. However snapraid requires each parity drive to be as big as your largest data drive. But this is a flexible and economical setup if you already have disks
