#AskFedi do you have recommendations for an external hard drive that would be good to stock #Jellyfin media on?

Something fast and not too expensive? (say, less than 200 Euros). 1 Terabyte of storage is more than enough (my current library is about 250 GB)...

I cannot use any of my current drives because they are all encrypted and #Jellyfin needs something with read access (sans password) for every folder in the path. So I'm going for a dedicated external drive.

I would really appreciate your advice! (and heads-up: I'm leaving home soon to pick up my little one from pre-school so I may take a while to reply) 😅​

#selfhosting

My digital independence roadmap for the year ahead:

Phase 1: liberate my music and movie libraries with #Jellyfin (I just installed it YAY)

Phase 2: liberate my audiobook collection with #AudioBookshelf

Phase 3: liberate my photo and video libraries with #Immich / stop paying for iCloud

Phase 4: jailbreak my Kindle and liberate my eBook collection

Looks like I will be busy through the end of 2026 😅​

Once you start #selfhosting, there is no way back 💪​
