plex bros, what do you use to store your kinos? I've been using a 5tb external HD but I feel like I should back them all up, so should I get another or just keep raw dogging it?

Literal spyware.
didn't ask don't care
no
This, Plex is a boiling frog pot and eventually you will be banned or reported to the feds for hosting copyrighted content. Move to jellyfin ASAP
can u host jellyfin on a raspi4 with an external usb 3.0 hdd
i wanna watch movies and seed them back w/out having to waste space on my laptop
get a cm4 and sata breakout board
Snapraid is ideal. Since you can just add drives as you see fit. NO point in anything off site other than maybe a database. Mediafiles themselves can be replaced.

Why bother?
Shut up homosexual.
Don't see the point tbqh. Just redownload everything with Sonarr/Radarr if your drive shits the bed.
True, I guess I should just backup the ones that were a PITA to dl in the first place
I solved that problem because I give my rare stuff to IRL friends who store it on their servers
that external HDD will fail on you eventually. invest in some data redundancy when you can
I just do a big clusterfrick of independent disks, and run a script that inventories all the media files on each drive once every couple months - if I lose a drive --- OH NO! I have to spend 2 weeks redownloading whatever was on it. Unless you're sharing your library with 8000 people then its a WORO type of storage use case anyway, not really worth it to fret over keeping a large scale raid alive and constantly running every drive in the array.
if you're concerned about disk failure setup a RAIDZ1 using ZFS (two usable drives, one parity drive), gives you 2/3rd usable storage, make sure your distro does a monthly scrub and if it doesn't set it up yourself using a cron job, then check on your disk health every now and again (zpool list -v), but it's questionable whether this is really worth it for media files, depends on whether you can easily redownload everything in which case I wouldn't do any redundancy and not use drives for parity
people often say RAID is not a backup, and that's true, it's meant to minimize downtime. I guess having drives in another system that mirror your main drives is better than relying on a single system. Having a second system doubles your cost though. Online backups are much more expensive if you plan to keep your files for any good amount of time. Backblaze B2 charges 5 USD/TB/mo, your 16 TB collection would cost you 960 USD/year to store, if you do stuff like backup using snapshots (you should) it's a bit more. And Backblaze is basically the cheapest cloud storage provider. RAID is kind of the best you can do without wasting a lot of money. Backup your important files (should be a few TB max) with 3-2-1 backup strategy and the remaining stuff is on the RAID. Maybe purchase a 16 TB hard drive (~280 USD) every year and create a cold copy of all your files.
>it's meant to minimize downtime
It does provide you with extra data safety though. It shouldn't replace a full backup but it can't hurt to have that on top, this way if one drive shits the bed and by some stroke of bad luck your backup happens to also be fricked, you still have the option to just swap out the faulty drive and rebuild your data.
B2 is expensive as frick, but if you're not a business you should stick with the consumer-oriented tier anyway, which is only $7 per month per machine, with unlimited size.
Aws has 1e/1tb/month. It's the s3 deep glacier tier where downloading it is more annoying. For backups you very rarely touch.
Kind of depends on how much you value the media. Having a large back catalog is nice (I have something like 15TB of movies and TV), but honestly, my internet is fast enough that I can download a 4k movie in 10 minutes. I don't care about redundancy, really.
Now having said that, if I had an extra few hundred dollars, I would get an unraid license and set up my server that way using RAIDZ1 pools and scheduled error checking. And again, honestly, I wouldn't view this as at all necessary, I just enjoy learning this stuff in my free time.
But also, external hard drives are usually the shittiest drives a manufacturer sells. So maybe get some actual desktop drives. If you intend on building a RAID array, avoid SMR drives.
Shitty Optiplex 3020 with a big ass hdd runing as a server.
Got a DS1621+
Ignore the crashed SSD, it's useless I'll remove it eventually. Theres over 400 TV shows and 7,000 movies on this thing, need to upgrade soon.
Now there's some autistic data hoarding. Hey, whatever keeps you from crouching naked in the corner punching yourself in the face, right?
How did you know? Please give me purpose or a business idea.

I have 4 4tb drives
Four spinning rust units.
I have 4 6TB drives in RAID 5 for a total of 18TB of usable space, and I use Backblaze for backups.

Drivepool and a bunched off shucked HDDs in a Ryzen system
Honest question, is there any reason you're using drivepool, and not something like a parity setup in unraid, or just RAID in general?
'cause I'm lazy and Drivepool quite literally just werks™, with great performance to boot
RAID is out of the question because frick rebuilding arrays, and I can just use random ass harddrives with Drivepool and add and remove them as needed
This piece of shit is not going to support AV1 for at least the next 3 years so I have an exit strategy to go to jellyfin that I will implement very soon
Not like AV1 is going to be mainstream in the next 3 years anyway
I use Jellyfin installed on a Synology DS920+ NAS with a couple of drives using Synology Hybrid RAID, which provides mirroring with 2+ drives and can be expanded for more capacity when I need it.
jellyfin on an old machine is all you need.
8TB WD myCloud. Kind of shit, but it serves the purpose and I didn't have to pay for it.
I keep everything in duplicate on two separate external 5TB HDDs that are never both connected at the same time. That way if one of them dies you can buy a new one and immediately replace it with a fresh backup of your other drive instead of being completely shit out of luck and losing everything to a hard drive failure.
