You spent 50k for plex hosting? Why so expensive?
- iwontberude 5mo agoHalf a petabyte of RAID6 is the biggest line item, then the redundant 40gb networking and compute follow closely. I have a lot… too much even?
- iamacyborg 5mo agoThat’s a lot of blurays…
- iwontberude 5mo agoI found them dumped out in the “street” in a place ordained by law as public domain. So I just grabbed up the media and use it in private.
- marai2 4mo agoHow many Blurays are we talking about?
- carlob 4mo ago500 TB/25 GB = 20.000 if some have more than one layer it could fewer but that's the order of magnitude
- LtdJorge 4mo agoCan't reply to the other poster, but I have 4K HDR Blu-ray copies from discs I found in the street too, which are more in the 60GB ballpark.
- yard2010 4mo agoIn what kind of "streets" you guys are hanging around?
- swiftcoder 4mo agodoes one really need 40gb networking to stream bluerays?
- simplyluke 4mo agoI am (clearly) not as far down the rabbithole as the commenter you're replying to, but almost certainly not. Streaming 4k blueray is on the order or ~100Mb/s, which means on a LAN bog-standard gigabit ethernet and associated networking hardware would be more than sufficient. This is taking a hobby to its extremes, in much the same way that a $5k boat and $500k boat let you catch the same fish.
- iwontberude 4mo agoIt’s about being able to rapidly move files between the arrays and future proofing.
- iwontberude 4mo agoYou are totally right, it’s mostly just for backups and transfers to rebalance data.
- yard2010 4mo agoDam this is just art in this scale
