1 year agoselfhosting/homelab. Originally started just using retired gaming PC parts to build a server. All it cost was the power to run the system. Years later and with more things/content I have, I just added a 5x 18tb hard drives and 3x 8tb. Just the 5 18tb drives was like $1500.
I have 65 TB of movies and shows for a Plex server. That is what the 5x 18tb drives are for. I download primarily REMUXes or highest quality available.
The other drives are for backing up photos, my server, and anything important.
