I've been putting off having a local copy of the series and movies I watch because I still can access them quickly and cheaply enough in some streaming service, I think it's time to plan ramping up my selfhosted setup.

You can get refurbed drives for under $50.

New ones that aren’t white label (which, nothing wrong with that) for 4 TB are about $100.

WD Red 4TB drives are only around $70 new, and they're built for constant use in NAS devices.

Those would be the SMR drives, if you don’t want that you’re looking at about $84.

I see, I got a WD Red Plus for myself for around that price, and it looks like that's CMR. The base WD Red is SMR, though.

Yep! The Plus/Pro line is the good shit. The base models of WD drives are not great now, especially if you're going to set up a RAID array of some sort.
