$25 to rent the movie, one watch within max 24 hours after you start watching it… Or $5 more to own it. Scammers.

    a 500 GB server, I remember those days…about 20 years ago haha I finally dismantled my 189 TB server about 3 months ago because I’m moving 1,300 miles away. I have 50 TB in the cloud now. Space goes quick, especially these days with 1080p with HDR and 4K with Dolby Atmos and Vision. I think my biggest single file is about 125 GB. Many of them are 50-80 GB a piece.

      I find the best way if you’re on a budget is to have a small collection of 4k movies, with an even smaller rotation of new 4k movies - then have everything else at 1080p x265. Still want at least 8TB ideally, so down the NAS rabbit hole we go…

        It’s object storage, so actually not as much as you’d think. I think it was like $500 for a year, the price increases 4 fold after that if you don’t upgrade to a higher tier
