yeah ive got a bunch of servers in my home crawlspace (storage array yada yada) that server has a bunch of 14-20TB drives in it in a couple RAID10s and it's only purpose is plex. even has a fancy domain name for it (5 character total including the tld like poast but plex related)
i paid for plexpass lifetime for gf and i and we both use the plexamp (best audio player imo) and its all seemless and just werks. if you are going to do this I highly recommend plex pass but wait til its 50% off because 150$ is a lot for what you get
some perks are like, free IPTV and stuff. plexamp is worth it to me tho
