    My Plex server is nothing more than a Raspberry Pi tied to a SSD.

      I’d love to get mine all on SSDs but 80tb of SSDs gets pretty expensive

        With that much data I’d go for standard hard disks too. Probably gets the job done just as well.

        That’s how I started, when I upgraded my PC my old PC became a dedicated Plex server running Linux, then the CPU gave up after 8 years (3 years as a 24/7 sever) then bought a PC to run unraid. Its a slippery slope, I started on 16tb of media 6 months ago, I’m now on 24tb…

        December 2023 update… Now 30tb

        +1 for Jellyfin!

        I have refurbished off-lease PC running Jellyfin which we connect directly to our TV for easy access to various streaming services as well

          My way is just a chromecast.
          Sadly thats currently the only solution by adding yet another device but for 40/60€ it’s not very expensive. I would give it a try

      I had to upgrade from that once it started struggling more and more with higher definition content. I ended up upgrading my desktop and using the old parts to build a server machine. The only things I had to buy was a PC case and some hard drives.
