expand the storage of Jakes Plex
Don protégé
Hey boys, so we're at the end of the line here.
We've filled up about 22TB of space using Plex (yes that is indeed just Plex) across 8x 4TB drives (two drives are using for Parity, so two drives can die before we lose everything).
One of those drives is an 8TB drive, but all the drives need to be replaced with 8TB ones for us to expand the space.
If we replace the remaining 7 with 8TB drives, we will double our space and have about 44TB of space.
If that happens, I can open up an automated requests app, where you guys can go on your phone and request media for Plex. I can then go in and approve those requests on my phone, and things will show up in Plex automatically.
I can't do that now because we obviously don't have the space to download things, but if we double the space we can be a lot more gung-ho about it.
If I go for refurbished drives to save some money, then they are about £85 each. That means for 7 we are looking at about £600 inc delivery.
I don't expect everyone to donate, or even to reach that amount, but if we can get almost there then I can warrant paying the bit extra to get to the goal.
If for some reason we go even higher than £600, I can maybe look at getting even bigger drives and get us even more space.
