Trust me, you will eventually fill it up.  There is no such thing as too much storage.  Being a storage hoarder like myself, I'm always looking to expand.

I know many that use Plex.  I use a Windows Server with mapped drives on an AD domain and use Kodi on Nvidia Shields to get to all my content.  My main data server is a 4U SuperMicro that has (34) hard drives, (3) raid-5 arrays and (1) mirror.  A total of 90TB at the moment - and I'm starting to run low.
