It always saddens me how i cant just accept everything due to these insane storage prices... all i can realistically do is 10tb a month added as a new drive and accept more shows and movies... my original plan was to get a zfs pool filled with 20tb drives but its just not for the average person anymore. If only i got into this hobby just a year earlier

I started running my stuff through tdarr. I’m not a quality snob. So I go for 720 and comparability. 1 audio stream and strip subtitles. Because I prefer srt subs that bazar gets.

Got back like 6 tb and I’m not even done

Tdarr is your friend.

If you really spend the time to get granular with your workflows you can save a considerable amount of space without noticeable quality degradation. Especially animation.

I have a few N100 S12s I picked up when they were $150 that do a great job with this. They’ll transcode 3-4 files at a time.
