Right there with you buddy, 13TB and growing. Self hosted media servers are the best.

Those are rookie numbers. Need to start getting entire TV shows in 4k and things you've seen previously but may want to watch again in the future quickly and easily.

Y'all are chumps.

I got 6TB SSD and 16TB HDD.

But I guess it's less than half full so... Idk, maybe Im the chump with too much headroom.

Sitting on 25.2tb of actual media with 7.25tb free. 4k movies and 34k episodes.

What media are we talking about? Movies? Porn?

It's probably the entire database of World Cup matches (including qualifier matches), plus the entire database of entries to the Eurovision Song Contest (including those of national finals), in addition to every single thing that happened at the 'Lympic Games. All in glorious 8K quality (yes, everything got upscaled by world class upscaling software).

Just general movies+tv shows.

It started as a classic Disney film collection and has expanded quite dramatically over the last 7ish years.

Now a days I've got a half a dozen users feeding requests into Ombi along with a bunch of imdb lists being monitored; growing the library entirely automatically.

/edit: who am I kidding, it's just hundreds of copies of one man one jar with different filters applied...
