For someone who wants to maintain a library of movies, I see the first two links in movies megathread total to 34TB worth of content.

What type of storage solutions do you folks use or recommend for large movie collections like this?

Do you have server racks? Which ones would you recommend?

Most people just use a NAS (self built or one of the pre-built types) & stuff a bunch of hard drives into it. Or just stuff a bunch of hard drives into their desktop(s).

Sure there are people outfitting rack(s) of server(s) but generally that's just the truly dedicated people going that route.

For what it's worth hard drives nowadays go up to ~22TB so your 34TB example would only need two massive hard drives. A compact NAS or small desktop would work fine for that example.
