Running out of space. And money. (programming.dev)

Edit0: I'm disappointed that some people that take time to comment don't seem to take time to read the whole post. Then, perhaps, they would realize that this post is not an SSD vs. HDD discussion, that using HDDs are out of question with my current living situation and that I just wanted to vent among peers.
Edit1: While I'm not judging - I myself recently moved to my current apartment for the very sake of being able to seed nonstop - I'm disappointed at how some of the commenters don't take seeding for granted in a pirating community.

When I began building my server rig - which includes my torrenting setup - last year, I was able to find the 4TB 2.5 inch SATA SSD Samsung 870 EVO for about €300. I bought four of them, but now, I'm running out of space, so I checked a couple of retailers. Wowee. What is going on with these prices. 😂 Even Micron's Crucial brand, which at some point was the more affordable option, is way past it's curfew. 🤬

I just wanted to vent.

Since I'm one of those people who'd rather sleep in an anechoic chamber or at the very least use white noise or the likes in order to sleep, running HDDs doing random reads and writes next to my bed in my single room apartment is not a option.

I know that, but I also want to keep seeding. It's a balance, I guess. But perhaps I could remove that which I haven't watched for 90 days and whose share ratio is has reached 1.0 or that hasn't changes for 90 days. That way, I can enjoy having the files around and keep seeding that which has some popularity.

You could get some big hdds and move the things there you aren’t seeding anymore, so they won’t be active unless you’re watching something from them.

More important than ratio is how many seeds are left. Keep the ones that are low on seeds, ditch the ones where there are hundreds of others seeding.

If you’re really interested in having all of the media locally, this is probably the move for you. I’m a big proponent for paying for a debrid service & using stremio + torrentio and only downloading locally what I KNOW I’m gonna watch again.
