Until recently I stored my media library in folders. A tedious way to manage a collection.

I set up Jellyfin on my main machine as a test. I enjoy the experience and want to migrate to a NAS, for better reachability in my network. I am a beginner when it comes to networks.

I currently use a single 20TB HDD (current usage 80%) and another 4TB HDD is around somewhere. I was wondering what my options and recommended solutions are. Should I get 1, 2, or more 20TB drives? I want some redundancy, but don’t want to invest into too many drives.

Looking forward to any tips or resources to read up on. Thanks.

      But you only get the storage capacity of the smallest drive, right? So in a 5 drive RAID, if one drive is 1TB and the rest are 5TB, it’s 1TBx5

      It’s been a while since I setup UnRAID, not sure if I remember right.
