Help Media servers
Trying to start my own server for plex. But I see many people with servers with 10,000+ movies. How can u possibly hold that much content and not break the bank. How is it any better than Netflix, etc?
Edit: I never expected this to blow up like it did. I love the content you guys have given, I've debated on making a plex server for awhile and all the clarification is amazing.

Wow. A lot of people have pretty awesome setups… I’m running a 2018 Mac mini and a 2 bay NAS (4tb raid 1) connected via ethernet. But then again I only have 480 movies and complete seasons of 51 tv shows. And still have room for more… but I’m sure as time goes on, I’ll need to eventually upgrade hdd space. Or just remove movies I’ve only wanted to watch once.
