Would scrobbling to e.g. ListenBrainz (or last fm) be an option for you for discovery?

AFAIK to get money in artists’ pockets it’s best to buy merch and buy tickets to shows.

Appreciate the detailed writeup and for highlighting the tradeoffs. Useful information for the DIY build approach

Thanks for sharing that writeup, this is exactly the kind of info I was looking for.

Thanks for that link to the blackblaze reports, definitely good to have, I always assume that a drive can fail any moment anyways.
Starting to build a storage pool sounds like a fun project, do you have suggestions of some hardware to start with that could later be expanded?
I’m not sure if data redundancy is necessary for my use case, as I don’t need to guarantee 24/7 accessibility.

Yes, the consensus here seems to be that for media it is fine to choose a HDD. Won’t it make streaming from Jellyfin slower?

I’ve considered this as well, as I already back my data up regularly. However, I read online that external disks aren’t good for long-term access. Have you run into any issues with that?

Thank you for the suggestion, I’ll have to open up the machine to see if the motherboard has a SATA port. Adding a second SSD doesn’t sound too hard assuming it is possible.

Thank you!
Could I ask why a server HDD and not a desktop HDD?
