Cheap 18TB Drives...
I’m using 18TB drives in my ZFS storage (including RAIDZ1 for Plex media and mirrors for other data), and big drives are how you keep density reasonable in a rack. If you’re building out ZFS pools for Plex or bulk storage, cheap high-capacity drives can make the numbers work a lot better.
