How do you guys continue seeding? I end up having to move files off my yarr pc drive and onto other drives or my nas because they get too big. I want to continue seeding anything I get though for a while.

You don't run a torrent server on the NAS? Generally you wanna be doing the actual torrenting on something with uptime and storage.

Then to manage the torrents you either use a webui or app.

Are you just using a desktop client?

I used to download and seed torrents 24/7 directly from my shitty consumer smr drive.

Not only speed was very slow but I think I killed the drive because of that.

I'm still thinking how I'm going to proceed now that I'm setting up my NAS again, I think I'm going to have to torrent to some smaller, cheaper but higher quality drive and then copy to the smr archive, until I can afford an enterprise drive.

It's also possible that I killed the drive due to bad heat management, but in the datasheet it says something that I'm only supposed to use it for 2h a day per year and not 24/7.

NAS drives matter. Even without disk activity, 24/7 means they'll do a LOT more spinning than other use cases.

Well I was starting out with my basement pc for now.
