For someone who wants to maintain a library of movies, I see the first two links in movies megathread total to 34TB worth of content.

What type of storage solutions do you folks use or recommend for large movie collections like this?

Do you have server racks? Which ones would you recommend?

    I use unraid with 5x8TB drives, 1tb ssd as a cache drive for new transfers (writing to an ssd is faster, it then moves to the array after) 500GB NVME drive for appdata and applications and a 250GB ssd for VMs and ISOs

      Do you keep these in a low power, optimized environment or is this just your daily driver PC?

        Its all consumer hardware but it’s a dedicated box running unraid.

        • I3 12100
        • 16GB DDR4 ram
        • LSI raid card
        • Case that allows for lots of 3.5inch drives
