TL;DR: Looking for cheap 1-2TB HDD/SDDs that would be perfect for Jellyfin. Not worried about redundancy as all my media is backed up elsewhere.
Hey all, currently I've got a PC that pulls double duty as my Jellyfin server and a gaming PC, the specs are as follows:
Ryzen 5 5600X
16GB DDR4 RAM
Nvidia 3070 FE
1TB Samsung 970 EVO NVMe
500GB WD Blue SATA SSD
1TB WD Blue HDD
The NVMe drive contains my Windows install, the SATA SSD contains my Linux install (now my primary OS), and the HDD contains my media for Jellyfin. Given that my HDD is now about 10 years old, I'm getting a bit worried about leaving this HDD on and running all the time. I pretty much only stream to my TV and have a small amount of TV shows, movies, and home videos. Do y'all have any recommendations on cheap drives (~1-2TB) I can use for Jellyfin? This drive would be used only for Jellyfin, nothing else.
