Usually people (myself included) use the HP290 solely to run Plex and do the transcoding. They build another storage server to keep all the media content. If you’re library was small enough, you could put it all on the HP290. I was previously using a Western Digital PR2100 NAS. I now have an HP290 running Plex and I have a server I built for around 350 dollars that is storing all my media using Unraid as the O.S. Here is a link to my build if you wanted to see.
