I have a nas with 2x10tb drives. I mostly just have music, movies and tv shows on it.

People talk about raid not being a backup, but is that relevant for non-original data? I mean I can always get the media again if need be. It would just be an inconvenience.

What would you do?

      Most streaming services have that under a paywall, which in that case I will much rather just make my own if I have a system to do it.

        What music streaming service is even usable without paying?

        Spotify is the only one that I know of that has a free plan and it’s (supposed to be) terrible

          What I’m saying is that if I already have hardware to make one my self, why pay for it?

          Edit: also some people just can’t afford to payfor streaming services

            Sure you can, but I very much prefer the experience of something like Spotify. It’s very easy to find songs and to just listen to them at any time.

            And some obviously don’t like piracy (I don’t care much since I have around 8 TBs of films, shows and other shit with Plex.)
