  • I have a media server built in an Apache 1800 case with four 2tb 2.5" ssds in it.

    If I where doing this, I would fill a hard case with nvme drives or 2.5" ssds and put 4k remuxes if you’re dead set on 4k, or 1080p remuxes, the ones on my server are 6-8 GB. Yes, you can get super high capacity ssds, but they are real expensive. The reason I have 2.5" drives in my box was price. I paid $50 for each one.








  • I’ve had nothing but bad luck with “recertified” drives or whatever Amazon calls them. One of the five drives I got off Amazon is still working, and that seller no longer exists. Server Parts Deals has been amazing for used drives. There are also discord and Facebook groups for tracking sellers and stuff.
