In general: Do not buy any media that you can't download.
You don't own anything if it's hosted in the cloud. Download and archive.
Working on it. After we move, I'm buying larger SSDs for my NAS.
If you're interested in cost-effectiveness, hold out for the deals on SaveMyServer. I ended up with a 48TB Dell R720xd for like $500 delivered. 36TB usable in a RAID5 is nothing to sneeze at, plus it's an amazing chassis for, say, GPU accelerated transcode.
I am not tech-savvy enough to know about any of this ^^;
I don’t run Raid, but the idea is that you can setup a computer specially for storing your content.
For streaming Ssd will be very expensive. You can get a huge mechanical hdd for similar costs.
I don't need to keep a ton of movies and shows, but I do need to double-back-up my work. I lost two HDDs in the past and I now always back up "online". At first it was Google, but now I have a NAS with a primary SSD and a backup SSD. I will never buy a HDD again.
The thing with hdds is that when they fail, if you check regularly, you can recover a lot of your data if not all the data from it.
When an ssd fails, it’s all gone instantly.
I still rely on hdd for long term storage.
Additionally hdds are better for backups that are not regularly connected. The ssd can lose charge over time and data can be lost.
With that being said, I also have important work data and it is duplicated on multiple types of drives in multiple places.
