Followup questions:

  1. What’s the specific LSI 9211 8i you will be purchasing? I am assuming you will be buying used, but which one(s)?

  2. How many drives would you like to end up using?

  3. Will you scale up your storage vertically (purchase bigger drives and replace older ones) or horizontally (purchase more drives in addition to older ones)

  4. Why exactly do you think you will need to do some transcodes? Can you give specific examples? One input among many others needed here, is the original resolution of your stored content and what final resolution would you end up watching and why?
