The Western Digital drive is tiny, fast, and perfect. I was trying to keep my budget low, but I also wanted an SSD, one with a small footprint this time. I previously used a 2TB external HD from Seagate that worked fine. I also like having my media on a drive separate from my OS. Since all of my media won't fit on a 128GB SD card, an external drive was essential. Western Digital Elements 2 TB external SSD You can switch back in a few seconds if the OS doesn't suit you. One of the things I love about the Raspberry Pi is the ability to swap out the entire OS and storage by slipping in a new SD card. The Pi 4 has WiFi but it's connected to my router using ethernet, so there's less lag. The SD card is 128GB, which is more than I need. I used a Raspberry Pi 4 Model B with 4GB of RAM. Believe me when I say that if I can do it, so can you. I will describe what I did, but this is not intended to be a complete tutorial.
Raspberry Pi and Jellyfin are the perfect combination I jumped onboard the Jellyfin train and haven't looked back.
Better still, I found that I could use it with my Raspberry Pi.
Jellyfin fulfilled every item on my list. A few people suggested Jellyfin, so I decided to check it out, but without much optimism considering the amount of rabbit holes I'd already been down. I wasn't sure I'd get everything I wanted, but I thought aiming for the stars was better than settling for something quick and easy.

I also made a short list of needs I had for what I thought was the ideal solution:
