Yup. Upgraded my Plex drives, 15tb of music and movies.
Those are rookie numbers :)
Congrats on the upgrade. I upgraded from 6x3T to 6x6T a couple years ago. Wish I had waited a little longer but feared drives going bad.
What about redundancy?
I have all my drives in a ZFS array. Should allow failure of a couple before I lose anything.
What's the point? If a drive starts failing just redownload it again. I really don't see the point on keeping everything constantly off-line when I can just torrent them again.
Sometimes you're the only seeder for some torrents.
That's fine. I'm likely not going to watch it again. If I really care, I'll either rent it from the library or post a request on a torrent site.
Much less of a problem with newsgroups.
