            @olafurp @AlecSadler What kind of data hoader are you?!
            I mean, if you can afford that sure, but I find it unnecesary.
            Also, how do you plan to backup that much storage? just curious about the last one, I always find it hard to backup more than 100 GB of media

                @olafurp I have 1TB SSD storage on my rpi and I delete series once I have watched them, otherwise I eventually run out of storage if I don’t. Well, good luck, but maybe before upgrading your storage you should upgrade your home server, a rpi is powerfull but you will eventually face problems related to I/O and CPU limitations

                  If you’re not encoding and there’s only like one or two users at a time, it’s plenty. Now if you want to encode on the fly to a myriad of formats and serve your entire extended family and friends, then it will choke. But people rarely do that.

                    @dustyData The RPi4 4GB model already struggles being me the only user, I have a bunch of services but RAM is not the problem nor is the cpu, the main problem in my case is the i/o limitation. I boot from the USB, while most operations don’t suppose much load for the system, as soon as I start writing to the disk series or even update dockers the system starts to slow down.

              If 2-4 TB makes you think “data hoarder”, you don’t even want to know what the self-proclaimed data hoarders get up to. 10-20 TB drives aren’t insanely expensive, and some of us have several of them.

              I have no movies, photos, or video games. I do have a lot of work-related things like cloned repos and stuff like Visual Studio and SQL Server.

              You want hoarder…my friend has over 120 TB in rack mount storage in his garage across multiple systems and NAS devices. It’s insane.

          I have a 512 GB (nvme SSD), with a few games, and I have 423 GB free (according to df after summing up / and /home partitions)
