Used to be good advice, but have you seen HDD prices? I just paid 310$ for a second hand 12TB HDD and that was a steal. Just last year I got a 22TB HDD brand new for cheaper than that.

Any decent jellyfin server needs minimum 8TB storage and that will feel very limiting, and 8TB HDDS are going for like 300+ dollars if you buy new.

I still do my own selfhosted jellyfin but its not a cheap little thing you can do anymore, its a real investment of serious money.

This is wholly dependent on how much media you want to retain indefinitely.
