Need to expand local storage for local media streaming. Running a regular desktop on linux.

I am willing to spend money on “the best” for streaming purpose while and hopefully something I can keep reusing down the road if it lasts.

    Last time someone mentioned these on Lemmy I got one.

    It “crashed” according to Synology in about a week. Woke me up in the middle of the night with the Synology beeping.

      Was the drive scanned for errors before installing it? I’ve been running 2x8TB drives for about 1.5 years. If a drive fails, it is better to find out earlier while they are within warranty.
