So I originally started this hobby by turning this old 15-year-old Asus computer into a media server running Linux and Jellyfin. It only had 1 TB hard drive, and that filled quickly, so I ended up buying two 6 TB hard drives, and I have filled one. I was thinking of getting a 16 TB hard drive to be set for a couple of years, since now I've got most of my media that I wanted, and now it's just new stuff. And since drives keep going up like crazy.

So what started it was my Asus M11BB with an AMD A10 that had 32 GB DDR3L. it has enough to fit 4 drives in the case.

Later, I found a Dell OptiPlex 7070 SFF with an Intel i7 9700, with 16 GB DDR4 RAM for $50 at a thrift shop. but only has room for one drive

currently. I have 3 hdd in total, and my setup is having one in my Dell and running my full Docker stack on it, and then having the other 2 in my Asus.

I have my Jellyfin and other dockers running in my Dell, and in my Asus, I have only Immich, and have my drives docked through my network from my Asus to my Dell.

One issue I have been having with the Asus is that I have had it stall out multiple times, as it would be on, but when I try to SSH into it or access media from it. I would not be able to, and I would need to do a hard reset by holding the power button. And that's pretty annoying since I have some media in there that Jellyfin is trying to access, but can't or I can't SSH from it. It's fine right now since I'm home, but I will soon be going to college again and would like to leave my media server running so I can SSH into it while I'm away.

So I've been looking, and I have been seeing that there are drive bays or enclosures, not sure what the correct name is, but the ones that can hold hard drives, not NASes. I was thinking I could get one of those and put my hard drives in them and connect them to my Dell, and then retire my Asus, or should I just keep my Asus and find a way to deal with the random stalls?

If I should get an enclosure, which one would be good for my maybe 4 drives currently I have:
2x 6 TB WD Red Plus HDD, 1x 1 TB Toshiba HDD, and thinking of 1x 16 TB Seagate Iron Wolf.

TLDR. Should I get a hard drive enclosure and connect drives to Dell and retire the old Asus computer, or keep the old Asus computer as mainly a drive holder for my Dell and have both running?

Hi, I'm sorry if this is a dumb question, but I was wondering if there is a way to get anime to download in the proper language? For example, when a new episode is available, only download an episode with multi-subtitles, English subtitles, or dual audio. asking because I noticed that some of my new anime downloads have only French or Spanish subtitles. Also, is there a way to have Sonarr replace an episode if a dual-audio version becomes available later, like when an episode first releases, it's mostly Japanese with subtitles, but later a dub version becomes available? Would there be a way to automaticly be on lookout for dual language and automaticly replace the version it has or is that only manual.

Another question is, how can I get a notification when a new episode is downloaded to my Discord? I managed to set up a webhook with Jellyseer to receive updates when a movie or series is downloaded, but I cannot get updates when an episode is added. Like when a new episode is available and is downloaded, I would not get a notification. I'm still new to all this. I just got Jelly Enhance last night, so I don't know much about the settings to make this possible.
