Need to expand local storage for local media streaming. Running a regular desktop on linux.

I am willing to spend money on “the best” for streaming purpose while and hopefully something I can keep reusing down the road if it lasts.

    Here’s my current bill:

    • usage - 420 kWh
    • total - $58.86 (mix of winter and summer usage)
    • stated rate - $0.09-0.10/kWh for “block 1”, 0.10-0.12 for “block 2” (they charge more the more you use)
    • calculated average rate (inclusive of all fees and credits) - $0.14/kWh

    And here’s my previous bill (all summer usage w/ AC and whatnot):

    • usage - 522 kWh
    • total - $80.17
    • stated rate - $0.09/kWh for “block 1,” $0.117/kWh for “block 2”
    • calculated average rate - $0.154/kWh

    That’s why I gave the $0.12-0.15/kWh range, because it depends on time of year, total usage, etc. It’ll probably be closer to $0.12/kWh next month since we’d use hardly any electricity (we use natural gas for heat).
