  • Not at all. I built my NAS in 2020 so it’s been over 5 years and I’ve had 20 drives running 24/7 that whole time. Some of the original ones I have swapped out for larger drives. But some of the older 3TB ones have over 80,000 hours on them and are still chugging along.

    I use unRAID so when one does eventually die I can just replace it and rebuild pretty painlessly. Originally I expected to lose at least 1 per year but they just don’t die. Maybe I’m lucky.

    Also I noticed even though 8TB has skyrocketed, looks like 6TB are still around $35 and 3TB are as low as $13 if you are okay with smaller sizes.

    You have to port forward Plex in some fashion for it to work properly. If you don’t you are limited to 1 Mbps streams on their relay. That is lower bitrate than YouTube at 480p.

    If your router has UPnP then the port fowarding is automatic on both Jellyfin and Plex. It’s the exact same setup for both.

    A major difference is Manjaro has its own repos which has a tendency to break AUR packages, while EndeavourOS uses the normal Arch repos. Endeavour is pretty much just pre-configured Arch so it bypasses a lot of the issues with security and stability that Manhjaro suffers from.

    IMO I still think people should just use vanilla Arch so they can customize everything to the fullest but EndeavourOS is a decent option.
