Wow sorry :confused:

So what I do I run 2 x mounts for Real Debrid.

For HD I just add this to the mount flag --exclude '**2160**' for 4k I use this --include '**2160**'

I then have Sonarr and Radarr set up with indexers and the download client is rdtclient https://github.com/rogerfar/rdt-client which is set on

So Sonarr/Radarr search for content. Sends it to rdtclient which with the "don't download any files to host" settings only adds them to Real Debrid. If they are cached, it's available immediately if not RD starts the download, and they will be available once cached.

Just trigger the scans in Plex or Jellyfin.

Managed to get a 22TB library going with Real Debrid all cached content and not hosted locally. Pretty cool.

Small compared to my 110TB gdrive plex.

How do you still get that size on gDrive? Did they not stop it? On my business account, I only get 5TB. I have to rely on Mega.io to cater for my needs.

I have a legacy gsuite account that got grandfathered into workspace enterprise standard for around R248 a month. They decided to not cap anyone from legacy gsuite accounts. New accounts get capped.

Ah, okay. Damn! I wish I joined the bus at the time. But then I did not have the need for this type of storage.
 
I have my eye on an Asustor NAS for when I move to the UK.
Will then do a VPN back to SA and copy all my Plex libraries over to the NAS.
I am thinking 4x 10TB drives.

It's not only for my plex but that is the majority of the files. I also have it mounted on my pc. I have a 1Gbps line and Google is just 3ms away from me so it's fast and I save everything on it.

Yeah, I too have Gdrive for my personal and business backups. Also mounted on my PC. Since I am limited with space of 5TB, I do not use it for my Plex.

I do have an Office 365 sub, which also gives me 5TB OneDrive space. Problem is, my Plex content is around 55TB. Currently, my best and most cost-effective solution seems to be Mega.

Damn how much does mega cost you? I looked at pricing and it's not cost effective at all.
 
Interesting to see you guys use so much space for your Plex. Any reason you don't delete what you've watched and are likely to never watch again?

You can always DL again should you change your mind.

I have the Flexi Pass. I am currently paying around R270 for 6TB storage. My streaming data is below 1TB. The price goes up as I keep uploading or streaming. According to their estimation, if I use 25TB storage and 25TB data a month, it would cost me around R870 a month. (Google, on the other hand wants to charge me around $300 for an additional 5TB or 10TB of storage a month)

Yes, it is a lot of money, but worth it for the family.
 
Hetzner Dedicated server, been flawless with no loadshedding knock on effect like prior home server
Docker
Series - Medusa
Plex

happy and easy
