When I began building my server rig - which includes my torrenting setup - last year, I was able to find the 4TB 2.5 inch SATA SSD Samsung 870 EVO for about €300. I bought four of them, but now, I'm running out of space, so I checked a couple of retailers. Wowee. What is going on with these prices. 😂 Even Micron's Crucial brand, which at some point was the more affordable option, is way past it's curfew. 🤬

I just wanted to vent.

Since I'm one of those people who'd rather sleep in an anechoic chamber or at the very least use white noise or the likes in order to sleep, running HDDs doing random reads and writes next to my bed in my single room apartment is not a option.

Yes but how regularly are you watching any given terabyte of video? You should look into getting some kind of data on what media is accessed and if it hasn’t been accessed in something like 30 days, get rid of it.

You must be young and don't understand seeding lol. Probably on Torrentio or Streamio or whatever.

Curating what content you download is completely unrelated to how long you seed it.

I know that, but I also want to keep seeding. It's a balance, I guess. But perhaps I could remove that which I haven't watched for 90 days and whose share ratio has reached 1.0 or that hasn't changed for 90 days. That way, I can enjoy having the files around and keep seeding that which has some popularity.

You could get some big hdds and move the things there you aren’t seeding anymore, so they won’t be active unless you’re watching something from them.

If you’re really interested in having all of the media locally, this is probably the move for you. I’m a big proponent for paying for a debrid service & using stremio + torrentio and only downloading locally what I KNOW I’m gonna watch again.
