Geez.. who bothers with 4K? Unless it's prem sexytime videos then I digress
Thats actually a pretty good idea. Let me work it out and see what I can do.
Well everyone with a TV? If you had your time with UHD and Dolbyvision or HDR there is no return, normal Blurays and streaming look like shit compared to it.
I pretty much own any UHD Bluray movie that does exists which are over 500 movies
This is pretty close.
First a Dedicated Server with 24TB (58,00 €) if your plex pass go i7 it support quicksync hardward transcoding.

then add 20TB of NAS Storage (47.48 €)
https://www.hetzner.com/storage/storage-box/bx60
Dedicated server with 44TB space for 105.48 €
That storage box is only 10 TB.
Plus, what are you going to do with 4 x 6 TB, you need RAID5 at the minimum so you only net 18T which is 28T total.
And, that 24 TB server has no SSD boot drives, so all your Plex metadata, torrents etc will need to be hosted on that same RAID5. Imagine playing movies, unpacking RARs, seeding torrents all with the (write) speed of 1 spinning disk.
So for performance you need at least RAID10 then you net 12T total + 10T = 22T for 105.48 €.
Your right not sure why I thought it was 20tb for the storage box, I took his needs at face value so raid 0 max storage. While a ssd boot drive is great it's not required. You can cache to ram so 64gb of ram will allow plenty of space and transcoding happens in ram also so speed is not an issue. Good point but nothing I would say is a requirement
