I mainly get my content from private trackers and I want to invest in an external hard drive to put all of my movies and shows on. What external hard drive would you recommend with a decent upload rate? Should I consider an SSD?
A spare old computer with something like freenas or similar should be plenty. For simple seeding disk IO is hardly going to be an issue unless for some reason your internet upload managed to exceed the disk speed (it wont) so anything with a low energy footprint would do fine. A raspberry pi with any old USB plugged into it is plenty. Larger issue is being able to rout the traffic over a tunnel to keep prying eyes in their own business.
