Thats pretty standard I bought 9 during the January deal, why are you weird and only buying one or two ?You need to casually go buy 100TB like no big deal?

That's a lot. The Plex is strong with this one.I need it, what can I say?

16x4tb here. Next time I upgrade, I will use 8 or 10tb drives. I would like the price to drop just a bit more on them. I don't want to shuck a bunch of drives.My plex is a modest 30tb and growing. I’ve decided to only buy 10tb+ from now on though.
What gains are there when using 7200rpm over a 5400?
Can you please explain it in simpler English for me? I don't understand a single thing.You gain a small number of iops. So it's only truly meaningful when you have a large enough number of spindles and an appropriate raid layout where that small number aggregates into a meaningful value.
Basically when you use raid it can provide increased performance because while the small speed increase of 15-20Mbps in a single drive is negligible, linking 5+ of the faster drives in raid can be a substantial performance difference.Can you please explain it in simpler English for me? I don't understand a single thing.
You will notice no difference at all, even witrh 4k files.I was reading it like "if the hard drive has enough spindles". No wonder I couldn't understand it.
But running just one and using it 95% for just playing movies. 5400 vs 7200 wouldn't show any difference?

If you're using something like Plex to do this, I think you'll be fine. It queues up chunks of data at a time, rather than stream the little bit of data constantly. Make sure you keep the plex media server program data on an ssd, and you should never have problems. Also a good idea to keep the transcode directory on another drive (mechanical not ssd,) but not as important. Your internet upload speed will likely be a limiting factor long before the drive's capabilities.Two people might watch at same time. Three would be super rare.

Where do you change the transcode directory?I'd recommend not keeping your transcode directory on an SSD. That's the only way I've ever killed one but it did still last 6 years. If you do go that root, dedicate one to it so when you do have to replace it, it's a simple swap with nothing else installed on that drive. Doesn't have to be large, but the writes will eventually kill it.

You're absolutely correct, I did not make that clear. The transcode directory works just fine on a mechanical drive, it's what I myself do. Just the Plex Media Server data benefits from being on an ssd. I edited my post to clarify.I'd recommend not keeping your transcode directory on an SSD.

Yes.How do you guys have this setup? Like what kind of build do you have? I feel like I should start another thread for this.?

Typical in what way. I have ordered 10's of thousands worth of computer parts from Newegg. If you mean typical in that I get what I ordered and have returned wrongly ordered parts w/out issue. shrugBeen trying to order for the past few hours, can't get shoprunner to work...and out of stock. Typical Newegg.
