After 14 years with Plex, I finally moved my video library to Jellyfin. Why rising costs, feature restrictions and digital ownership pushed me towards FOSS.
I have a 2TB ssd for my whole server. I had 2x 2TB SSD in my pc that were collecting dust, so I took them out and used one for my server and one for my backup server.
Use mkvtoolnix and handbrake. You can quickly drop and add elements of a file with mkvtoonix and handbrake will convert most anything to H265. Its pretty fast with gpu encoding.

So I can allocate about 1TB for Jellyfin
