Comment on Suggestion for buying drive

As someone who had jellyfin running on HDD and moved it to a solid state: it’s a night and day difference when loading things. The reduced storage capacity for the same cost is very much worth IMO.

I have a ~40TB HDD array and jellyfin is super fast. Just put the database and cache files on a SSD.

I hope it is. But OP has a single drive.

True multiple drives speed up reads significantly. As long as the videos are sequential read speeds can be very fast (600MB/s) even on one drive though. Results may vary.
