Might as well just rent a server at that point, more memory and performance for basically the same price.

You're not getting a rented VPS for the cost of a 12tb hdd. You're not getting any space with a server for that cost.

12tb is literally $100 right now new. also my fellow hoarders, save a bookmark to that site it's great.

If you want to hit eBay and buy used disks, you can probably build something with redundancy and 20tb+ for around $300. If you've got a machine laying around and don't plan on downloading everything on every service, you can grab 16tb used for $100, use one drive for parity, and the spend $50 when you run out of space for another 8tb.

I run drivebender and a whole JBOD setup with random storage in it for this purpose. It works great and has been through 3 different homes and over 8 years now. Drives become cold storage when I upgrade a new one.

Yeah, I went a little more overkill. I got a rack for free, and I have a Dell CS24 (that's probably due to upgrade just for power savings at this point) that connects to a Rackable 3016. This runs unRAID, so I end up with the same thing roughly you have - JBOD with parity that I can bring any disk to, and 16 bays to fill before I have to start cycling drives out. So I check disk prices, when something tickles my fancy, I buy a new disk and shove it in there and it just keeps growing. If I had to do it today, I'd probably do it a bit differently just because the drive density, but it's been going strong for 7-8 years now.

Nice, I've got a 24 bay sunmicro box, I tossed old hardware into it just to run it..I have a few 12 tb drives in there alongside with my old 2Tb drives.
