Surprisingly, I’m going to make my money back quick. I was previously using older Supermicro machines and small hard drives that used a ton of power. This thing let me downsize power-wise (like a LOT), and I doubled my total capacity.
There used to be one called Turntable.fm, but it shut down a while ago. Not a playlist, but like a live DJ thing. Maybe there’s something like that around.
I use an HP micro server gen 8 running truenas scale. Upgraded the memory to 16gb and upgraded the processor as well. 4bays with 14TB Seagate exos drives. Holds everything I’ll ever need for a long while.
It’ll be slow as hell or bog down the connection. I know because I tried. Sometimes networks will also do tricks to block or filter torrenting though direct/unproxied connections. Usually though it’ll just be very slow.
Have a Synology DS218+ with 2x 14TB in raid 1. So just 14TB total capacity one drive redundancy. I have over 500 movies a bunch of series and it’s like… 4tb full or something?
Most people just use a NAS (self built or one of the pre-built types) & stuff a bunch of hard drives into it. Or just stuff a bunch of hard drives into their desktop(s).
Sure there are people outfitting rack(s) of server(s) but generally that’s just the truly dedicated people going that route.
For what it’s worth hard drives nowadays go up to ~22TB so your 34TB example would only need two massive hard drives. A compact NAS or small desktop would work fine for that example.
Dude. Play Death Stranding with compatibility enabled to use proton and you’re in business. You’ll be playing for a looooong time exploring an incredible landscape.
Edit: I didn’t realize this was the piracy community. I immediately assumed you would use Steam. My bad.
But if you can get it to work with proton for real, it’s worth it.
Thanks for the reccomend. Sounds like my kind of vibe. A lot of things do work with proton, some don’t. I also do buy some games, just rather would test them out if they work at all before i commit this way.
HP DL380 G7 with 10TB 2.5" drives & an Iomega PX4-300R NAS with 12 TB 3.5" drives. The HP runs all my 'arrs as well as does any coding work & acts as preliminary storage. Drives have cost me more than the server & NAS units.
Why did you opt for a setup with 2.5" disks? I ask because I just replaced my track server because the 2.5" are just more expensive than a server replacement plus 3.5" disks where I’m from (with 4x10tb).
I have DIY All in One server made of desktop components. 250GB SSD for OS and container volumes, 500GB SSD for nextcloud and 12TB HDD (toshiba refurbished from Amazon) for media. At some point Ill make a raid, but for now sticking with the cheapest option with no issues (or just lucky). I backup nextcloud and docker volumes to HDD and to backblaze daily, but I dont need backup or redundancy for media (read: I dont see myself spending a lot of money for files that can be redownloaded anytime)
