    for anyone afraid of the upfront cost: you don’t need to buy so many expensive hard disk drives to self host a media server like Jellyfin/Plex
    RAID arrays add complexity and get expensive very fast while not being a proper backup solution at all, it’s nice to have but not required

    on a budget buying a large hard disk drive (12~16 TB is a good sweet spot right now) and later down the road another one as periodic backup solution might be the wiser choice while accumulating your collection of media

      Raid is exactly as much or as little of a proper backup solution as you configure it to be isnt it?

        It basically only protects against hardware failure. It’s not going to protect you from ransomware or even just accidentally clicking delete.
