Hi all, this subreddit describes my problems perfectly, "What do you mean DELETE ?!"

I have a growing collection of mainly movies, family photos, and i have run out of internal storage. Ive got some hard drive laying around that i have stored things on, but without beeing able to easily access them, im finding myself probably downloading the same things or rebacking up the same things.

My PC is connected to my Nvidia Shield PLEX, so if solution is a NAS im thinking it does not have to be that powerful to do transcoding? I also dont need to access it all the time, maybe once a week transferring to/from

What should i do, im lost with the amount of way i could go, but not sure what right one is?

NAS, DAS, external HDD plug&play, something that i can use my various hdd's i have laying around? . On a budget too but happy to go with something second hand

Thank you all

Hello! I recently retired and over the past 25 years have only accumulated 5Tb of data which probably isn't hoarding. What feels like newspapers up to the ceiling is that the data is on 2 laptops, 6 external drives and 12 Google accounts. Plus the duplication is boundless. Apparently every time I was getting on an airplane I would just do a full backup.

What would you recommend as a starting place to get a handle on all this and establish a secure backup plan?

I currently have a Dell PowerEdge R730 2x E5-2697V4 2.3Ghz 36-Core/72-Thread 512GB RAM H730P X520-I350 2x750W - it came pretty barebones, and currently running ESXi 7 on a NVME drive. I plan to deploy Proxmox on this server when I get around to it. What I wanted to do was utilize this R730 to create a NAS server. However the SFF slots are just not useful for the amount of storage I want. I was told I should be looking into JBODs w/a RAID/SAS card to attach to the JBOD?

Doing some initial perusing on ebay and there are so many JBODs out there. I think i'm pretty settled on just needing 12-24 3.5 bays for SATA/SAS. The options seems pretty wide, and i'm not exactly sure which brand and type I should be honing into, alongside a compatible HBA for the R730 and JBOD. Would really love some some direction to fine tune my search in this regard.

More over, the HDDs I am after are the 28TB recertified enterprise drives off ebay. Most of the JBODs I looked into have only been tested for 18-20TB size HDDs, and I am not sure if there is a limitation on a certain generation JBOD/HBA to recognize these size drives.

Overall I am looking to focus my research and searching with some helpful advice about what to research, which reputable brand/generation are best. This will mostly be used for storing backups of family documents and media, uh educational iso, and hopefully the storage pool can be used for my future swim into a security cam system.

Don't be afraid to be rough with me, i'm a slow learner but I get there.

Hi everyone! I have in my possession a rip of the Interstellar movie on 4K Blu-Ray that is 84.10 GB in size. I want to write it to an XL Blue-Ray disk but i don't want to play it on my computer, i want to buy a Blu-Ray player (because i am also thinking of starting a personal collection of my most wanted films) to hook it to my TV...problem is, I cannot find a decent priced (honestly i did not even went for the expensive ones) player that plays XL disks. I don't have the original disk to see what kind of disk it was so i am asking you, how do you burn or play these kind of media?

Thank you!
