I want to get 2-4 TB because of torrents

@olafurp @AlecSadler What kind of data hoader are you?!
I mean, if you can afford that sure, but I find it unnecesary.
Also, how do you plan to backup that much storage? just curious about the last one, I always find it hard to backup more than 100 GB of media

Jellyfin hoarder type. My dream setup is something like 16TB bay with a Raspberri pi

@olafurp I have 1TB SSD storage on my rpi and I delete series once I have watched them, otherwise I eventually run out of storage if I don't. Well, good luck, but maybe before upgrading your storage you should upgrade your home server, a rpi is powerfull but you will eventually face problems related to I/O and CPU limitations

If you're not encoding and there's only like one or two users at a time, it's plenty. Now if you want to encode on the fly to a myriad of formats and serve your entire extended family and friends, then it will choke. But people rarely do that.

@dustyData The RPi4 4GB model already struggles being me the only user, I have a bunch of services but RAM is not the problem nor is the cpu, the main problem in my case is the i/o limitation. I boot from the USB, while most operations don't suppose much load for the system, as soon as I start writing to the disk series or even update dockers the system starts to slow down.
