I’m at about 80tb as well, just upgraded to new more power efficient storage so I have a lot more space to play with. Once upon a time I actually would calculate out “burn rates” based on how quickly I was consuming storage to determine when I needed to add more drives.

I think the biggest hurdle to bulk NVMe storage for the homegamer is going to be the cost of the PCIe lanes / switching needed to hook them up. The cost per TB of the drives themselves is already interesting.

Corb3t posted:How big is everybody's Plex server? I'm curious. Only 11 TB but all SSD, and packed into a smaller HTCP-style case. I wanted to balance space with performance, reliability, and idle power draw. It seemed like plenty of space when I built it but then I started getting 4K remuxes and now I'm thirsty again. I'm trying to wait until 2027 so I get 10 years out of this build before I do a new build and load it up with 8TB SATA SSDs. SSDs have gotten drastically cheaper and denser in recent years and I'm hoping that trend continues.

I've got.... 4x 14 TB WD Red/White (Shucked EasyStore) 2x 12 TB WD Red/White (Shucked EasyStore) 4x 10 TB WD Red/White (Shucked EasyStore) 1x 4 TB Seagate that refuses to die, but will be replaced the next time a new drive goes in since I'm low on case space. I'm going to buy 2x 20 TB drives and move over the data on the 10 TB drives and convert them into a ZFS pool at some point. 18 TB EasyStores may be on sale for ~$200 on Black Friday, that may be tempting.

I don't have a lot of storage, and I keep chasing efficiency with transcoding. Working on going to all AV1.

12tbx4, about half used. unraid single parity. Actually not really losing space swapping low res old stuff out for upgrades since x265 is so efficient which is cool.

I definitely have hoarder/archivist mentality - if a piece of media resonated with me at any point of time, I like to have a copy of it on my server "just in case". Admittedly, I have let friends and family take over a nice chunk of my Plex server through requests, but dropping $200-$400 a year on expanding the storage is well worth the price of having most of my media in a centralized app with a nice interface. I plan on picking up an Intel gpu with av1 encoding/decoding at some point as well.

100TB, but my love of going for archival quality is helping stretch this space pretty far. I’m glad I’m not stuck in a Remux only mindset, and if I can’t find a HEVC encode I’m happy with I’ll usually roll my own.

My Plex server has been sitting at 12TB for like the last ~8 years? Maybe more? I haven't had the need for additional storage for some time now, though I only have 2TB free atm. So I dunno, either I janitor some old poo poo that never gets watched or I upgrade eventually. I do have access to Netflix, Paramount+, Hulu, Disney+, AppleTV+, and Prime Video that covers a lot of things. My Plex server is mostly for newer releases.

I have a 4tb Seedbox. I used to have a 10tb server locally but this is honestly just so much easier for me to deal with. Nobody else in my family will use Plex so it’s just me watching anyway

23.8tb, 11.5tb free, 4bay DS423+. I have a bay open still. I was topped out for a bit, so upgraded to this 4 bay. Now I have plenty of breathing room. I don't care about quality a ton. A good 720p is good enough for me (for now). I have about 5 users that are on often, and 5 others that might watch something they'd have to start up a service for. I'm antsy about daily shows and kids shows that spawn 100+ episodes... for no real good reason.. probably ptsd from when I only had a 200gb free.

I did set up local Plex servers at my brother's home and a family friend's place that I have remote access to; both of those were 8TB machines that have like 4TB free still.

I've got a dozen drives in my Unraid server, 102TB array size and about 65TB used with a 14TB parity drive and a 1TB ssd cache drive. Mix of 14s, 12s and 8s in there, slowly replacing the 8s with 14s as they age out.

2x 18TB, one for movies, one for TV and music. Each has nearly precisely 10TB used. 1gbps internet connection gtx 1070 for transcoding about 6 active users per day, 12-15 on a week by week basis.

I think I have one 6TB drive? Maybe it's only 4? I don't remember Really the only use my plex sees is that I ripped the entire James Bond bluray set and my wife just puts those on when she wants background noise. It started because Pluto streaming had the movies on rotation leading up to the most recent one, and stopped once the movie was out, and I was pressed into service to solve the problem.

I have an 8TB and 14TB externals hooked up to an M2 mac mini that is also the Plex server. Probably about a 13tb used. I've got a dozen or so friends and family that use it. Some more than others. It works well.

It's very much an arms race, they develop new obfuscation techniques, we develop new detections, back and forth, forever.
