For someone who wants to maintain a library of movies, I see the first two links in movies megathread total to 34TB worth of content.

What type of storage solutions do you folks use or recommend for large movie collections like this?

Do you have server racks? Which ones would you recommend?

I use unraid with 5x8TB drives, 1tb ssd as a cache drive for new transfers (writing to an ssd is faster, it then moves to the array after) 500GB NVME drive for appdata and applications and a 250GB ssd for VMs and ISOs

How can I set up an SSD to act as a cache if I'm already using jellyfin? Or is there no easy way to go about doing that

Ita easy to do in unraid, you set it up per share, so say you have a "media" share you can change the settings to include a cache drive and then set it to write to the cache drive first and then more to array. If you don't have a cache drive or want to add a other you can do that by installing the ssd, booting up, stopping the array and adding in a new cache drive (you can add it to your existing cache pool to increase its size or create a new one and keep them separate for separate uses)

Interesting, the multiple caches for multiple users is AWESOME actually, I'm definitely gonna be experimenting with that!

Check out Spaceinvader One on YT, he alone is all you need when it comes to everything and anything unraid.

Do you keep these in a low power, optimized environment or is this just your daily driver PC?

Its all consumer hardware but it's a dedicated box running unraid.

  • I3 12100
  • 16GB DDR4 ram
  • LSI raid card
  • Case that allows for lots of 3.5inch drives
