Internal Storage - fontmasterflex - 2025-01-22
Where is everyone getting NAS storage? I'm finally in a place where I am starting to build my server out. Seems like NAS hard drives have really started to creep up from when I first started my Jellyfin journey. I'm looking for a couple 20 TB drives, but $800 or more is a bit steep. Any ideas? Thanks

Same struggle, friend. I have been re-using HDDs from old hardware with services that don't require fast/reliable storage. I know many people are buying re-certified enterprise drives (i.e., certified functioning by the original manufacturer, likely came from a data warehouse). Prices on anything above 18 TB seem to be out of reach for most folks.

The sweet spot for new drives used to be 12Tb (Ironwolf, $16.50 a TB). Now those have gone up $50 with availability hit or miss. I've bought eight over the last year.
