I want to build a proper server with room for 40+ HDDs to move my media server to and have RAID 1. I know a lot about PCs and software, but when it comes to server hardware I have no clue what I'm doing. How would I go about building a server that has access to 40+ RAID 1'd HDDs?

40+ disks ?? I crammed a mini server with 7 old HDD's totaling 2 tb and felt I was king of self-hosted! Now I feel small and peasant-like, damn you ;)

I am a bit curios what the average amount of disks/totalsize is for other data hoard.. self hosters in this sub ?

I only have 140TB atm, but I plan to expand. I want to backup all my Blu-rays, which will be at least 10 more HDDs. 2TBs used to be a lot. Lol

140TB that's crazy dude, is all of that just media?

Yeah. Music, movies, and TV.
