Plex is an essential part of my media life for TV and Movies. I then have my setup rounded out with a Backblaze subscription to keep everything backed up.
After that, I used an Nvidia Shield for several years and recently moved to an Intel NUC with a 14 TB external drive to house all of my media. I set up my first very Plex server running on an old MacBook Pro I had, and it worked well for several years. When I moved in 2013, I decided I was done with physical media for TV shows and movies and ripping all of my DVDs into digital format.
