When I began building my server rig - which includes my torrenting setup - last year, I was able to find the 4TB 2.5 inch SATA SSD Samsung 870 EVO for about €300. I bought four of them, but now, I’m running out of space, so I checked a couple of retailers. Wowee. What is going on with these prices. 😂 Even Micron’s Crucial brand, which at some point was the more affordable option, is way past it’s curfew. 🤬
I just wanted to vent.
Since I’m one of those people who’d rather sleep in an anechoic chamber or at the very least use white noise or the likes in order to sleep, running HDDs doing random reads and writes next to my bed in my single room apartment is not a option.
I know that, but I also want to keep seeding. It’s a balance, I guess. But perhaps I could remove that which I haven’t watched for 90 days and whose share ratio is has reached 1.0 or that hasn’t changes for 90 days. That way, I can enjoy having the files around and keep seeding that which has some popularity.
More important than ratio is how many seeds are left. Keep the ones that are low on seeds, ditch the ones where there are hundreds of others seeding.
You could get some big hdds and move the things there you aren’t seeding anymore, so they won’t be active unless you’re watching something from them.
