Yeah, I have 31 remote users (though less then 10 are actually active). If you’re running a server setup to the point of supporting that, the plex lifetime pass is just a piss in the wind.

But the lemmy FOSS crowd is strong, we’re severely outnumbered here :D

OP probably doesn’t have a plex pass.

Unless therer was some major update in the last 6 months I’ve missed, I’d say no … not even close.

Personally I’m more on the paranoid side, so I went with raid 6 and a hot spare. So in case of failure I can rebuild one disk immediately and not having to buy one first. But so far I’ve never had a disk failure.

In addition I was thinking of having the 8TB HDD as a standalone to backup the documents and maybe the photos and the docker setups.

That is a very good idea. I also can’t quite afford to backup my main storage of movies/shows, but at least all the important personal documents (and my music) is properly backed up.
