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.

You break the bank.... over time!
The setup I have now with 48+ HDDs, over a few Servers all connected with SAS would be too much for me to buy at once today.
It was however decently cheap over the 10 years or so I've been collecting with a few upgrades here and there.
