Hi everyone, I am currently looking for a new hard drive to add to my media server and want to buy a 20TB drive. Now the question is what manufacturers would you recommend or avoid?

As far as I can see it’s either Toshiba, Seagate or WD.

    With everyone self hosting huge servers like this, my question is… how can I access some large ones like this? Kodi, Plex?

      Kodi & Plex are just ways to manage, organize, and browse a multimedia collection.

      If you’re talking about accessing a specific server that has a large collection of multimedia on it, accessing it is fairly simple

      Step 1: Have a friend who is hosting such a multimedia collection on their server Step 2: Ask that friend if you can have a login to access it.

      To my knowledge there aren’t really any people hosting such servers that are giving away access to people they don’t personally know. Certainly not for free.
