Im slowly wrapping my head around the jellyfish thing ...very slowly. But lets not pretend the server space isnt the price issue. I couod spend 5 years of netflix subs to get to a decent raid protected level.

Self-hosting media can pretty much be as cheap or as expensive as you want.

My friend plugs an external drive into an Nvidia shield and it works fine.

An old laptop from eBay works well too, with the additional benefit of essentially having a built-in UPS.

You don't have to have a crazy setup.
