I was considering this hypothetical scenario where I would have a self hosted large scale library for books. The purpose of this was to see how many books can I store with "just" $1000. One side of the problem is the text compression of the books, but the other is the storage capacity.

It would require external drives of some sort. I assume that HDD are the cheapest? However I'm not sure which brand or which capacity size would be the most economical.
