For a piracy-oriented community I’m surprised this isn’t discussed as much.
Do you ever store media, or delete them after watching? How do you store them?
I personally have 12TB worth of hard drives (3x4TB) in a JBOD configuration. Been wanting to upgrade my hard drives (they’re 6 years old) but I’m still a little skeptical of the helium drives and whether they will last…
No I don’t store anything. Can’t be bothered to do so anymore. Had plenty of disk failures in the past so I couldn’t be arsed to rebuild a new archive and let’s be honest how often do you actually rewatch anything.
Nowadays I just stream movies using Kodi and Seren with a torrent cache service like Alldebrid. Haven’t downloaded a movie since.
Yeah their comment is very subjective lol. I started my Plex server when It’s Always Sunny was taken off Netflix. I’ve had to reset my server a few times so I don’t have total plays, but they’re well past the hundreds.
Chores just aren’t the same without something happening in the background.
And shucked drives make it fairly reasonably priced. I get my 5TB’s for around $35

Really? You must be pretty unlucky - i don’t want to tempt fate here, but I’ve only had a couple of bad sectors here and there with my hard drives!
I rewatch old shows a lot actually - i like to keep sitcoms playing in the background when doing chores.
