I save my favourite kino's on my 1tb m.2 SSD. I have over 300 of my favourite movies saved and I still have over 300 gb left, and only store movies I like and will rewatch.
I download, watch and then delete everything else.

Even a 20 year old hard drive is fast enough for video media. There is no reason at all to have it on ssd.
Transfering big files to a usb drive is faster with an SSD. I use my usb to watch on my TV often.
Why don't you have a nas homie?
I don't listen to hip hop.
>Even a 20 year old hard drive is fast enough for video media.
It's really not. That's way too old.
25GB/h is only 7MB/s.

I put a 120GB IDE HDD made in 2003 in my softmodded OG Xbox, and it still works perfectly fine in 2024. Not everything needs a 4TB SSD.

i needed new 8TB drives for my NAS
>Samsung 160GB SATA 7200RPM 8MB Model SP1614C
>2004
Yeah a SATA drive is good enough for video files in current year.
My blu ray drive connects with USB 3.0 and reads and plays fine.
My desktop has a 750gb HDD from 2005... It still works, and can easily do 60Mb/s.
I don't think i've ever seen a movie file that was over 60Mb/s, even the highest quality 4k ones.
Latency, power consumption, particularly the former is important if you serve it over a network.
Disks are certainly more economic, yes, and a fine choice, too.
My guy you do realize you can buy a 20TB HDD for under $400? Meanwhile a 4TB SSD is $400 and most mobos only have 4 m2 slots so $1600 and you are still down by 4TB. HDD is still supreme for mass storage.
I remember my first hardrive from 2003. It had its own power supply and made a crackling sound when you would write something on it. The power light would also flicker. It was a 128 gigabyte. Pretty crazy that its now the size of your pinky nail, in 20 years time.
It also cost me 150 euro which is 372 euros today. If you buy a 128 gb card now it costs you 15 euros.
>crackling sound when you would write something on it
Oh boy, wait until you try a large capacity drive now. Exos drives are crunchy as frick sounding.
>700 GBs for 300 movies
Thanks YIFY!
I download large files for my absolute best kinos.
I use 1080p YTS and RARBG for others and I also download 720p for some foreign language movies.
So it averages to over 2gb a film.
There's no reason to download large files for every movie. It's a waste and not every movie deserves it.
For me, it's she.
damn, i didn't know hard drives had become so tiny.

wtf kind of dogshit quality do you download? jesus
I'm convinced half this board lives in south america or some other third world shithole. anytime a 20gb+ 4k hdr rip is mentioned you'll get 30 comments about how hdr is a scam and 900mb 1080p rips are just as good quality wise.
Third world shitholes have better internet than the US, lmao.
nta, but I live in a relatively small midwestern town and have access 2Gb internet if I want it. The slowest you can even get is 400Mb symmetrical.
Yeah but nowhere to store it.
The quality of the copy depends on how much I like the film. I have no problem with large movie files I actually prefer them, naturally, because I like high quality kino but I avoid HDR because I don't have any HDR monitors at home currently. I have multiple 15gb+ movies that deserve it, the Russian Solaris for example and the Neon Demon, Mandy (2018) is at 10 gigs. Movie/series library is over 1tb atm and I'm building adding more to it before the apocalypse or whatever.
>and I'm building adding more to it
and I'm adding more to it*
I usually download like 18gb+ stuff for my fav films, but I've never been able to tell the difference between an 8gb web-dl vs bluray. I have a 23/24 inch monitor
>I have a 23/24 inch monitor
With that size monitor you could stick to 2gb bdrips and it wouldn't matter

Currently have a custom jellyfin server set up on my computer with around 7TB of storage. With a webpage to store it and reverse proxy etc so my friends can use it as well.
1x 2tb HDD
1x 3tb HDD
2x 1tb SATA SSD
I tend to put games on my m.2 SSDs as they're a lot quicker to load etc. I might get more HDD storage but my computer only has 6x SATA ports.
Just use external hd. Cramming a bunch on top of each other can cause overheating. Makes it easy to swap what you keep connected when you get a newer one and use older for backups.
Overheating isn't an issue but having hard drives in a computer causes slower performance, even if they're only used for storage. Things will hang when the drives spin up.
What theme is that?
made it with custom CSS . Put the following in to the custom CSS textbox in general settings. Then i just enabled backdrops in the display settings for the backgrounds. The logo i made myself and re-named the same as the jpg files for icons in the jellyfin server and it replaced them.
/*Transparent header*/
.skinHeader.focuscontainer-x.skinHeader-withBackground.skinHeader-blurred {
background: none;
background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);
}
.skinHeader.focuscontainer-x.skinHeader-withBackground.skinHeader-blurred.noHomeButtonHeader {

background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);
}
/*Partialy transparent side bar*/

>With a webpage to store it and reverse proxy etc so my friends can use it as well.
I really want to set that up but it looks like such a hassle
it isnt actually that hard. I used both of these tutorials to get it done, first one to learn how to set up caddy/NSSM and your caddyfile. Second one to learn how to set up cloudflare for the reverse proxy and your domain name. I got a domain from porkbun.com . My domain name cost me 10gbp for 2 years.
But the basic steps are :
>buy domain name
>Make cloudflare account
>go to settings on porkbun and give cloudflare access to it and frick around with API keys, IP addresses, port numbers and cloudflare shit exactly like the guy does in the tutorial
>download the CLOUDFLARE version of caddy and NSSM
>set up NSSM as seen in the video (read the comments as well because i think theres something the guy misses in the vid)
>copy/paste caddy file exactly as seen and save as a a blank file, remove the .txt portion of it
i had to watch the tutorial a few times and read the comments of the tutorials to get a grasp of what to do but once everything is set up its done and you never have to worry about it again. Setting up caddy and NSSM is annoying because you have to piss around in powershell going in to the right folder and testing caddyfile in nssm. If you cant be bothered to do it i completely understand but if you want to have a go my caddyfile looked exactly like this:
remove [ ] as well
[domainname.whatever] {
reverse_proxy [internal IPV4 address:jellyfinexternalportnumber frompicrelated]
tls {
dns cloudflare [API key from cloudflare]
}
}
also to add to this the guy doesnt use porkbun in the tutorial for his domain name management but in porkbun you go to Edit Authoritative Nameservers and copy/paste your authorititave nameseveres that cloudflare gives you as shown in the tutorial.
whateverrandomlygeneratednameyouget.ns.cloudflare.com
whateversecondrandomlygeneratednameyouget.ns.cloudflare.com
in to the field. Like i say you probably dont want to do it but just in case you do thats what to do.
OR if you want to just make it simple you can just use port forwarding on your router and forward the public jellyfin port seen here
and then put your external-ip-address:jellyfinport in to your browser/jellyfin server on the app to access
The pajeet explains in this tutorial how to do it. Its much easier to do but means that your ip is exposed and some webcrawler might be able to get access to it (although theres a pretty low chance of this happening) and means your ip address is exposed to the internet for anyone you give the address out to.
>With a webpage to store it and reverse proxy etc so my friends can use it as well.
You're a movie a janny and you work for free
SSD is way to go nowadays. It's now dirt cheap and the speeds are something else.
>Dirt cheap
a 5tb HDD is still like 1/4 of the price of an equivalent SSD. For storing films read speed isnt really that important unless you're constantly moving films around from drive to drive.
not even netflix hosts their shit on SSDs
>SSD is way to go nowadays. It's now dirt cheap and the speeds are something else.
Prices went up again so everybody stopped buying. It was nice when the prices dipped and I got a 2TB but now its not worth it. Waiting for another dip.

108TB NAS
>tv shows
48TB NAS
what hard drives do you use anon?
48TB NAS uses Seagate Exos drives, which I don't recommend if they are anywhere near you, even a neighboring room. They are very loud. 108TB NAS uses WD Red Pro drives, which I can recommend as they're much quieter, but more expensive.
damn dude. Thats an expensive set up. Thats like 5 grand just in WD red pro drives alone. Impressive. Im too much of a brainlet to set up a NAS drive/server but would love to do so. Do you just run plex with that? Is everything just top tier 4k rips at like 50-200gb each or do you optimize for streaming?
buying new drives is moronic see
. enterprise drives last longer than consumer drives and are a fraction of the cost, have 5 year warranties usually, and are cheap to replace otherwise.
I just use pre-built NAS. One is from Synology and the other QNAP. Total cost for the 108TB NAS was around 3K.
>Do you just run plex with that?
It's for storage, not playing movies/shows from it. If I want to play it, I'll copy it to my PC and play it on my TV over HDMI.
>Is everything just top tier 4k rips
I go for best available. So I have a ton of UHD-remuxes which are anywhere from 30-90GB per movie. The rest are mostly BD-remuxes or 4K WEB-DLs. A tiny amount are DVD-remuxes or some kind of encode. TV shows take up more space usually, especially anime or BD-remuxes. Some of those are 100GB+ for a season.
>ssd prices went up again
don't buy
i've been watching through vhs tapes of shit i recorded off tv from the early 90s to around 2007. tons of bands playing on snl and late night shows, various sitcoms and other shows. pretty fricking comfy. forgot most of what i taped, but would recommend if you have similar shit laying around. have been enjoying it way more than trying to stream anything.
I store them in my mind palace, way out of reach for israelites and feds who seek to censor and destroy kinos.
Got 4 4TB hard drives and I'm about to go get a 5th because I'm about to run out of space again. Yes, I have those drives doublicated on other drives. Everything is double backed up. I've been pirating since I was 9 back in 96. I have a lifetime of media at my disposal.
I store them on some WD reds in a USB dock hooked up directly to my router. The router runs md in RAID 1 mode and serve the files over SMB/NFS. I figured I just need the files on the network with some redundance, and I already had a somewhat beefy router with custom firmware. Works perfectly so far, even survived a dead drive that I replaced with minimal effort.
4tb microsd hidden under my foeskin
I run an AWS EC2 instance with files backed by S3 storage. It runs Radarr, Sonarr to fetch stuff on release, and Jellyfin for clients to view. It costs a few bucks a month to run but to me that's worth the $0 hardware cost. Cost goes down over time as stuff I don't watch gets put into Glacier class storage for fractions of a penny per GB.
This only really works because I'm on private trackers. Otherwise AWS would probably terminate my shit when they got DMCA.
>It costs a few bucks a month to run but to me that's worth the $0 hardware cost.
you know it costs you more than "a few bucks" a month......
The EC2 instance is about 6 bucks per month. S3 costs about 4 bucks per month per TB in Glacier tier which is most of it except stuff snatched within the last 30 days which is S3-IA pricing. I don't download remuxes. I went this route mainly because I use AWS for work and several personal projects so I'm familiar with it. But yes you are right, "a few bucks" was embellishing. It's worth it to me for online access with no infrastructure, I also share logins and links to movies to others and stream movie nights which makes it very easy.
I do have a local NAS but it's reserved for actually important documents and files.
how in the world do they let you store pirated content on their servers? is it encrypted or what?
S3 acts as a virtual drive mounted via s3fs-fuse. The files are stored encrypted on S3 in chunks and the EC2 instance decrypts and serves them. Theoretically an Amazon pajeet or glowie with a grudge against me could take over my EC2 instance and steal my keys and expose me. But in reality I suspect I could just store them in the clear and literally nobody would care as long as the bucket itself is not public. Even the US government has worse opsec than I do, they have top secret unencrypted documents on public S3 buckets.
>top secret unencrypted documents on public S3 buckets
I don't disagree with your assessment of incompetency, but I'd also just like to mention misdirection honeypots as a possibility.
3 8TB hard drives in RAIDZ1
Four 4tb 2.5 drives.
Labeled film, tv, animation, and internet.
They got like 200gb free on each and I update them as stuff comes out.
Got an 8tb exos for music, manga, and comics.
On my shelves. Whenever I find a movie that looks interesting I will watch the first 10-20 minutes on 123 movies and then get it on dvd or blueray. All nu-movies suck so those I only watch on 123 movies.
I was thinking about getting one of these bad boys, probably the 8TB one. anyone have any experience with them? are they worth the price?
>I was thinking about getting one of these bad boys, probably the 8TB one. anyone have any experience with them? are they worth the price?
not worth buying. buy a synology nas with 2 drives instead. costs way more, but worth it.
what makes it worth it?
Synology has nice software that takes care of redundancy for you, does health checks, alerts, network shares, etc. and storage is cheap to expand, you can buy bare drives. The hardware is also designed for it including ECC ram and other stuff for very high enterprise style fault tolerance.
You could save some money if you are comfortable setting up the software part yourself on cheaper hardware, really any old PC rig with internal or external drive bays works the same but is much more DIY.

my homie been to CEX. I remember going there back in the day and buying used Blu rays for cheap prices. Always stunk of sweat in there. What does piss me off is that its near impossible to get the shitty CEX stickers off without damaging the cover or leaving a tonne of residue.
They must have improved them, all the ones I get these weeks are easy to peel, even the ones on slipcovers.
honestly though lad i dont think its even really worth collecting blu rays these days unless you've got a cool steelbook or collectors edition.
I have a few steelbooks like pic related and i have come to the conclusion these days that physical media is pointless unless you have some kind of luxury version of it. Same goes for books. If you're going to have something for it's physical presence and presentation, may as well get something beautiful and worth keeping.
>bends your cheap gay steelbook
nothing personnel.
I don't enjoy steel books for some reason. I rarely get film-only discs. There must be some substantial special feature or be collector's editions.
And also only get films I have watched in their entirety to know I enjoy them.
>guys look at all these popular movies I collected! it's so cool right?!?!?

The point is as to support the physical aspect. Not the slop I found to show.

I have a NAS and my favorite kino I upload to a cloud drive just in case.
moron question, but if I play 4k movies from na external hdd to my pc, will it be able to work fine or is the usb port not able to handle this? Don't really want the power costs of a NAS when I'm only streaming to myself and have no room in my desktop for another hdd
You should be fine as long as it's through a USB 3 port, usually they are blue.
As other anon has mentioned USB 3 ports are fine. They are usually blue/red.
The data throughput for a usb 3 port is like 500Mb/s and the bitrate of your movie is never going to be that high.
USB2's speed is still 60Mb/s so you'd usually be fine as well.
I dont even know if the Disc's read speed even matters when playing kino either because i have HDDs with 100Mb/s read speed and they're able to play heavy 4k videos such as my 180gb rip of fellowship of the ring fine.
Even the basic USB2 is fine except maybe for some excessively phat 4k remuxes with 20 audio tracks that are interleaved with each other in the data stream.
You're more likely to run into speed issues from the old-ass HDD itself if it's old and wants to die.
i got a 32TB RAID0 array with 4x 8TB drives that has over 55k hours of uptime, 99% uptime, zero faults.

In my brain??? If I dont remember it then it wasnt worth remembering.
I don't know what half the words you anons are using even mean. I just have two 1TB external drives hooked up to an old Dell laptop that is running a plex server
That's fine. As long as what you're doing works for you, that's all that matters in the end. No need to overcomplicate shit.
bro try out jellyfin. Its all free and open source. Frick paying money to transcode films on your own hardware.
>Frick paying money to transcode films
nobody transcodes films, anon
if you are streaming any of your media over the internet you will need to transcode to x264 due to the bitrate limitations (unless you have 200Mb/s upload speeds with a 200Mb/s download connection too). Anything restricting bitrate requires transcoding. Same goes for HDR tone mapping. Also x265/HEVC doesnt work on a lot of devices and requires transcoding as well. I have my friends use my server and if i didnt have hardware accelerated transcoding enabled it probably wouldn't be possible for them to watch anything. There of course is a lot of other reasons to go with jellyfin over plex as plex seems to be consistently israelite-ifying their software and making people cough up money to do basic shit, which i personally dislike as well.
While I don't have a streaming setup myself, this sounds like a fantastic reason to make one or two encodes at different bitrates/qualities EXACTLY ONCE and then serve those. Just like, well, pretty much ANY service does, no matter how small.
>Just re-encode and store two copies of 1000 films bro!
>just waste terabytes of storage for basically no reason instead of transcoding the files when required
Mate even fricking youtube is doing it with their exabytes of video data.
Youtube runs a service at a massive scale that benefits from this approach.
3 people streaming a movie file off your rinky dink home network is definitely not at the same scale.
main reason I don't try jellyfin is because my smart tv doesn't have a jellyfin app, while it does have a plex one
jellyfin released a webOS app like 2-3 weeks ago. It should be on there. If not you can always sideload it with a usb stick pretty easily or get a cheap amazon firestick.
I'll need to look into how to sideload things to a samsung tv because it's something I've been curious about in the past
Why would you pay that much instead of using a SATA SSD?
I have a 48 TB TrueNAS and am planning out a 200-300TB one right now.

I was gonna ask why but then I remember I was looking for vids of Shanie Love the other day before she bogged herself and most of that shit has been scrubbed or is hard to find.
I have a Blockbuster in my house because piracy is wrong
Why the frick would you store your files on SSD?
Wouldn't HDD make more sense since it's cheaper and last WAY longer.
That's all I do. Got about 10TB of movies/TV on a single external HDD that I connect to Plex so I can just watch whatever I want wherever.
>storing stuff on a single ssd
NGMI
>makes watching movies super easy and convenient
nothing personal kid
hated that phone
Get real.
Who the frick uses an SSD for external storage? Just get HDDs and duplicate your content twice, you're good to go for decades.
Other than a few favorites and old/rare stuff, I just delete movies after I watch them and write the names in a text file.
1tb portable extreme SSD has been more than enough for the small collection I hold on to
If I really want to watch them again, I can retorrent or, if all else fails, buy them.
I don't pirate actual kinos anymore but I store my porn on 21 TB worth of cheap USB hard drives
(a lot of it is VR porn with big file sizes)
5TB external hardrive. 1TB is small imo. I try to get 4K if it exists, since it's kino to watch it on OLED tv.
I trade them on the local network while I'm at the big local LAN party, during the late hours file share frenzy.
No wait, that's what I would be doing if we lived in the good future.
Don't forget to regularly make backups, anons.
And don't do something crazy like RAID 0 striping data accross eight drives.

how feasible is it to have a large bluray collection and then rip those blurays to NAS? I want physical media in case SHTF and I have 2 hours 30 minutes left to live, but I also want digital for the convenience.
So, just to be clear, this is the SHTF scenario with reliable electricity?
for the most part. I'll have enough battery life to last me until the nukes land.
It's faster to download existing bluray rips online to your nas rather than doing rips yourself. But yeah you can do your own rips if you have the equipment and time. If you have a rather large collection you might need to get one of those machines with multiple bays so that it can rip a bunch of discs at the same time though. With only one disc bay that shit will take you about a year+
Download the rips yourself. QxR makes fantastical storage for quality rip. Avoid remux because after 10mbps bitrate, you won’t be able to differentiate it to 40 or 80mbps.
what is the point of this?
DAAHHH I STORE IT IN MY SSD!

Yeah like I said, ignorant. I was not wrong.
You morons should really just buy some out of the box solution to raided bays. You are making some overly complicated rigs that aren't even optimized to what you are trying to do
Just because someone is using plex it doesn't mean they are on a paid account. I really hate jellyfin zealots
>Just because someone is using plex it doesn't mean they are on a paid account
its not just about actually paying for an account. Its about the principle of trying to israelite their software up and gain every penny they can from something that was originally supposed to be a free way to allow people to get a media server set up and pirate their shit. While plex does have a few more features and does run a bit smoother, them increasingly making people pay for basic stuff on their own hardware such as transcoding or using the fricking ios/android app with your own server should put you off enough from the software. Jellyfin also allows you to customize it way more and personalize how your server is laid out. Its a bit like having a mac vs having a linux/windows pc. Sure the mac is more user friendly and easier to set up if you're a literal baby who cant follow simple instructions, but they sure as hell will try and make you pay for every basic ass thing through the ass and rape financially you're too lazy/stupid to work stuff out on your own.

I just built my first computer, a NAS. I tried to do everything the "right" way, so the drives are handled by (tuned) ZFS, the smb shares are manually created by me, and I just got KVM/QEMU VMs working over SSH via virt-manager. Been moving my media to this machine. Still need to set up a VM with Jellyfin and point it at one of the smb shares, but apart from that it's pretty much done.
It is so cool having my own media server accessible to every machine on the local network.
Hardware will fail you. I keep them in my heart.

He's obviously trolling you.
>NOOOOOOO I MUST WATCH EVERY MOVIE AS A 200GB REMUX CANT YOU SEE THE VERY LIGHT PIXELATION AT MINUTE 14 IF YOU GET REAL CLOSE TO THE TV????
No movie is 200GB. The biggest I've seen is in the 80GB range, which is basically maxing out the full 100GB UHD disc.
>no movie is 200GB
and that's the 720p version
based. sadly it's not on cinemaz, so I'm stuck with the 720p version
>TimeScapes 2012 2304p CineForm REMUX CFHD FLAC 5.1-TS12
>308GB
>Duration: 48 min 22 s
That's not UHD you moron. The UHD-remux is only 21GB.
keep moving the goalpost pal
the 2160p blu ray rip of extended edition of fellowship of the ring is 180gb
10-15 GB is the ideal size for archiving kino
>grrr I can't afford extra HDD space, time to shit up a data archival thread
I've digitized by DVD collection and put them on (see image) so I can watch them from any of the smart TV's in my home
I got an M.2 SSD for the first time and did a fresh install of Windows on it instead of doing the while cloning thing. ever since, my computer has these random BSODs due to memory issues. Did I get a faulty piece of hardware or something?
In my ass
ITT: where do you store your kinos?y answer? In my ass!
not exactly on topic, but has anyone ever tried running Plex off a non-local seedbox? how did it run?
In English, Doc.
for instance, using a seedbox from somewhere like hostingby.design and running a Plex server off of it
What is the point? It would be cheaper in the long term to just run a local server and access it via port forwarding or a domain name.
because I don't have a good device to run the server off of
except I can access every film I want
It's called Netflix
I HOPE YOU'RE BACKING UP YOUR DATA
SOMEONE'S BACKING IT UP
AND IT AINT YOU
MAX OUT THAT 100GB
Lawrence.of.Arabia.1962.UHD.BluRay.2160p.TrueHD.Atmos.7.1.DV.HEVC.REMUX-FraMeSToR.mkv (97.9 GB)
Seriously though how do you get a movie bigger than 100GB on a disc?
It's split across two discs, a 100GB triple layer disc and a 66GB double layer disc. There is a 128GB quad layer disc, but it's specifically for 8K in Japan.
I have a 20tb hdd I put in a dell optiplex I got from a government auction.
You guys are actually using SSDs for archiving? Who's going to tell them
Closet server with 54TB of storage and 2 backups (1 weekly, 1 monthly).
Served via jellyfin.
how much did that cost?
Honestly can't say for sure. It started with a couple of 12tb enterprise drives sitting in a 10yo Dell Optiplex. Then over the course of 5 years it expanded. More hard drives necessitates a larger case, expanding the server beyond movies requires better hardware, even more hard drives needs extra cards for more SATA ports.
I'd estimate somewhere around 3k.
Nah, it also runs my home automation, websites, matrix, cloud storage, and game servers.
Size depends, I get better quality for better movies, and sometimes I get both a 4k and 1080p copy. I'd estimate about 10-30GB for 1080p, 50-60GB for 4K. Biggest file is the Ten Commandments at 89GB lmao.
Is that purely for movies? What's the size and quality of one movie? I couldn't fill this up if I had five lifetimes.
why are you idiots buying all of these drives? Just get Netflix.
call me when Netflix gets Hans-Jürgen Syberberg's full filmography
Most of the content on israeliteflix is utter shit. So much of it is shitty low budget crime documentaries or disposable shitty low budget netflix produced movies. Streamslop. Not everyone wants to watch streamslop anon.
>almost out of hard drive space
