At the minute my servers files are all over the place, we have 13TB of space but the files are spread out randomly with some films and TV series on each drive, audio books split into 3 folders, 8 different book folders and documentaries and kids stuff spread out all over the shop!
So we are struggling with managing what’s where, and thus, we decided to expand with another 4TB of space, by adding this drive from Amazon to it
So right now I have all the films transferring into this, which should mostly fill it, the last folder is currently transferring and will need a little over 20 hours to complete the move!
Then all TV Series will be moved to the 6TB drive, and other stuff, like documentaries, kids, concerts, standup, anime etc, will move on to the original 4TB drive.
Music has already been transferred to its own dedicated 1TB drive which it’s nowhere near filling as I have still transferred barely anything of our music collection over!
That will leave a 2TB drive, which is going to store things like books, comics for which I intend to install Kavita in an attempt to do for books what AudioBookShelf is doing for audio books.
So to summarise what we have right now is
- 4TB HDD – Movies
- 6TB HDD & 1TB HDD – TV Series
- 1TB HDD – Music
- 4TB HDD – Other Media (Anime/Audiobooks/Documentaries/Kids etc)
- 2TB – Books/Comics
The last stuff being transferred is the final TV Series stuff from the original 4TB HDD to the 6TB HDD
The process is allowing me to do some long overdue data hygiene as well!
Long term a dedicated device for the server will happen, with bigger hard drives running in RAID and offering NAS functions, but that’s gonna happen after I decide what to do about upgrading my PC next.
I am torn between replacing the mobo, CPU and RAM and moving to an AM5 CPU, or upgrading either the GPU to a 4070 Super or perhaps even just the CPU to a 5800X3D, just got to figure out what’s gonna give the best result for my meagre £s
What I Am Modelling

What I Am Reading
Not had much time or spoons to read, but I did listen to Doctor Who and the Invasion from Space which was wonderfully retro!
What Tabletop Games I Am Playing
Played a league game against Joshua and his Sisters of Battle, and he tore me apart!
And I played Paul and his Leagues of Votann which beat me, but it was a really fun and fantastic game!
I also went to the November Echo Heresy Tournament in Heaton playing this 2000 points Imperial Fists list

What I Am Spending
Lindsay and Megan wanted a better way to use Apple Fitness +, so we got an old and cheap, Apple TV HD, in cosmetically bad condition (but works great) from CEX
It’s now been attached to the back of the TV, and will also allow me to play Fantasian I guess!
I also got a Space Wolves Combat Patrol
