I setup the auto-delete function. I placed a very high ratio and a certain amount of days to stay active. I’d prefer to seed indefinitely but this will do for now.

I’m definitely getting more storage soon.

What’s the best way to easily delete both files? I first assumed that deleting listings from Radarr cleaned up both files.

The system is down

You would delete the download to completey stop seeding. Take a look at the guides others have posted.

My structure is this:

torrent -movies -TV

media -movies -TV

qbit downloads to the torrent folder where it seeds out from. Radarr/Sonarr make a Hardlink copy from the torrent folder to the media folder. Your media software watches the media folder.

Any models of DAS that you recommend? Looking for a 4-Bay

Edit: Would security flaws be an issue for something like a DAS though? The DAS wouldn’t have anything running on it. It would just be a big ol’ dumb external HDD. Right?

I had been planning on running Jellyfin in parallel for testing but haven’t gotten around to it. Plex has been reliable for me. And I really enjoy Plexamp.

It’s just what I’ve been using for so long. And I have a lifetime Plex Pass.

No reason other than price. Everything I see listed for Synology is a NAS setup.

I may go down the DAS path then. I was eyeing a QNAP 4-Bay DAS. Perhaps a NAS later on if I’m in need of a home network storage solution that is a bit cleaner and user friendly.

USB speed? Everything has been completely fine with the USB enclosure I have it running on right now.

I’m not doing any backups with this setup. This would solely be for media that will be streamed through Plex. While having a drive fail will be annoying, it wouldn’t be catastrophic as nothing personal or important would be stored here. I would rely on the Arr setup to rebuild.

Honestly, I’m just trying to squeeze out any HDD space I can use. I’m trying to keep the cost down where I can.
