    No redundancy? No high availability? No clustering? What are you even doing man? One server? Those are rookie numbers. You gotta bump those numbers up.

    /s, obviously. You do you, and whatever works for your needs/budget.

      Yeah I’m trying not to fall further down the rabbit hole at the moment. Want to get a big raid cluster going so I don’t have to be so skimpy on my Jellyfin library but I have to stop myself everytime I start pricing parts out lmao

      The call of the upgrades will claim me one day though

      I’m addicted to raspberry pis and have six of them for various purposes. Hard to say no to 5 watts when you wanna spin up another thing.

        Are you able to easily attach spinning rust hard drives to those? If so, how? I think those things use more than 5W on their own. Biggest question I have before planning a horizontal raspi setup. Currently I use old x64 PC boxes for self hosting.

          I’ve used a 2.5" hdd on a rPi before using a usb-to-sata adapter (powered from rPi’s USB port). I’ve used a 3.5" hdd using an hdd enclosure that’s externally powered.

            Ahh, externally powered. Thanks for the info! I’m gonna look into such external HDD enclosures…

          I attached little portable USB SSD drives to them when they need the storage; otherwise I have been using raspikeys. Though I am excited about the new m2 chips on offer nowadays from RPi.

          Currently my pis are used as:

          • Two separate pi holes
          • Shakenet
          • Birdnet
          • Homebridge
          • Torrent client

            Yep those m2 hat things look pretty useful. Thanks for the info! Portable USB drives are something I’d overlooked.
