Ahoy! My internal hdds are at max with all I've been torrenting and I'm considering some type of Docking station for my desktop with several 10Tbs drives in them to allow me to store and backup my data for offline protection.

I was wondering if anyone had done any type of setup like this and if it's a reliable method for offline data storage. I'd also like it to have a RAID capability but I have software which can mirror drives to each other on startup/shutdown, etc. Also, I'd need it to have a USB-type connection for a USB SSD drive to pop-out & connect to my Smart TV for viewing.

An end goal would be to get a 3-2-1 setup but I can't find a reliable Cloud storage I'd trust with that much data except maybe Filen.

Any positive input about brands, drives, services, etc. would be most appreciated!

Thanks!

If you want something that actually functions well, use Plex. Jellyfin isn't anywhere close to feature parody with Plex.

Jellyfin will have you tearing your hair out when you meet its limitations, whereas Plex pretty much just works out of the box.

I haven't come across any limitations. Been using it for years. Plex became trash around the time they started forcing streaming channels into the feed and sharing my watch history without my consent.
