i've been looking into snapRAID. It's software-based and seems to work great if you don't write/delete that much. Doesn't require a NAS setup too, it can work on an existing install and hard drives with existing data!

Do you have all your hard drives connected to your computer/NAS or are they in cold storage? I have 6 HDDs/SSDs combined on my computer and no more available SATA/M2 slots...

I just added a bunch of hard disks to my own computer, so my costs were pretty low - if I spread out the cost of my hard drives it's cost about $5 per month so far, and that number's still slowly decreasing every month.

damn how's your NAS configured? How many drives do you have?

Storage space isn't as big a problem for music - for me, tv shows are the main issue.

I like to rewatch shows a lot in the background - I like having The Office or How I Met Your Mother on while i'm doing chores or something, so I have a lot of shows stored. It takes a lot of HDD space, but I also don't have to pay for 3 different streaming services just to watch 3 shows
