Does using the -arrs use insane amounts of disk space? (lemmy.world)

The only way I can see switching my Luddite family off of the streaming sites is by making it easier. Up until now, I've torrented the old fashioned way, but now I'm moving into plex (ik, ik, jellyfin is better) and want to start using the -arrs. As I understand it, which I'm not sure I do, the -arrs will automatically grab torrents. In my mind, this would eat up a TB pretty quickly. Do you guys all have massive SSDs (heh), or am I misunderstanding?

Massive SSDs? Nah, just a couple of 1TB drives as cache. The rest of my 120TB is spinning disks :)

Interesting. Are you pre-caching contents on the faster drives? How are you going about it?

I use Unraid as my server OS. It has a mechanism for caching file writes to the slower array disks.
