With only 3TB in the pool you're going to be increasing the size of the pool potentially quite quickly depending on if you're ripping DVDs or Blu-Rays to it.
You'll soon need another drive to boost that pool size and I promise, that parity will keep those tears at bay if something happens.
I'm about to pile into my 50th and older games for me can be emulated on a pocket watch 😂
I love my late 80s early nineties schmups so I play on my son's deck through retrodeck when he's asleep.
Similar issue here, full fibre roll out is estimated to be complete in 2025.
I'm just outside Newcastle on the coast and could get Virgin but my neighbours have had a nightmare with it.
They only rolled out their fibre about three months ago so there might be issues with that
Where the hell in the UK are you? I'm in the North and pay £26 for 60mbps but get more like 70 due to how close I am to the street cabinet though I haven't even got copper cable here, just crappy aluminium that is so old I think Alexander Graham Bell himself fitted them.
I usually scan my media with Media Elch before I move it into Kodi/Jellyfin then I know the files and folders have the right names and all Metadata is correct.
TV shows are grabbed, named and tidied with pyMedusa.
I use Kodi on a RaspberryPi with the Jellyfin add-on so if I watch something remotely then the watched status is synced everywhere.
If you're using Windows then Foobar 2000 is great. I use it for manually managing and tidying my collection in addition to converting pretty much any format to any other format.
That being said, you can install it as a snap in Linux as well if that's your poison.
And base model still unavailable in the UK.
If I was just buying for myself I could live with the mid range price point. But for four kids that's a lot of money to shell out.
I've got a better chance of buying buying crocodile tears or hens teeth.
Bit late with the reply here but I have a Moto Edge 30 neo and the size is great for me.
People I work with can't comprehend that I don't want a TV in my pocket for messaging my wife.
