  • Just added 5x18TB Seagate Ironwolf NAS (CMR) drives to my build.

    it’s a retired desktop/gaming pc

    • Ryzen 5600x
    • Radeon 580 gpu
    • 3x4tb zfs raidz1 array
    • 5x18tb zfs raidz1 array
    • 48gb RAM (to be upgraded)
    • Plex, jellyfin (and jellyvue) both behind a reverse proxy, other non related services like vaultwarden etc
    • Sonarr/radarr/lidarr/jackett via docker using private trackers, running mostly linuxserver.io docker images
    • Proxmox

    Edit: along with the 5 new drives, switched to a fractal R5 case to accommodate the amount of hard drives










  • Then that just means everything you’re looking for is common or freshly released/uploaded.

    Ppl looking for niche content, it’s not gonna be on public trackers as often.

    Also the main benefit of private vs Public is that you can find a 10-15 year old torrent of some niche content and it will still be actively seeded.

    With public trackers, there is less retention of seeders, even more so for less common content.

    Public trackers often end up with tons of dead torrents with 0-1 seeders after a couple years pass.

    And on a private tracker there is incentive to keep old torrents alive. On public there is none. Ppl grab and run.
