Hi; with Black Friday coming up with some discounts (hopefully), I wanted to purchase additional HDD storage for Plex.

I presently have a Ubuntu VM on Proxmox, running Plex / Emby, on a measly 500 GB SSD.

Question is this: Do I need to pick up a 7200 rpm HDD or would 5400 suffice for this purpose.

At max; I can expect 2 simultaneous streams accessing said media.

Any help / guidance / recommendation would be appreciated.
