Best products from r/seedboxes

You have a few options at that price point.

Plex needs a pretty powerful processor for transcoding - for 1 stream, we're talking a reasonably recent i3 (I think Sandy Bridge would do it), for more than that... that's into Xeon territory (or i5 & i7 quad cores).

The cheapest server I'd trust would be the $17USD Kimsufi with an i3 and a 1TB drive. Bump that up to $19USD and you've got a 2TB drive. Don't hold me to that, though; I've never tried the particular processor that they use. I'm just basing this off the usage that my own personal Plex server encounters under load. That's probably the best option on the Kimsufi side of things. Of course, this doesn't meet your space requirements, but you can always buy multiple of them - and the advantage there is that you have multiple processors (for transcoding) as well as multiple network interfaces (for seeding, watching movies, all that jazz).

E3-SAT-1 ($42USD) is a good option for SoYouStart (16GB RAM, 2x2TB, E3-1225v2). I would trust the E3-1225v2 to handle Plex just fine because Geekbench puts it at a similar performance level (perhaps a little higher) to the processor I use in my Plex machine (i3-6100), and that can handle BD remuxes just fine. I've never had multiple streams of super high bitrate stuff though, so that's always something to look into. E3-SAT-2 and E3-SAT-3 aren't worth the high extra cost, because you won't be needing that RAM. Hyperthreading on E3-SAT-3 would help with transcodes, but not worth the huge price premium IMO. Of course, this storage config is still lacking for your requirements. Which brings us on to the "big daddy" of servers on SYS, haha.

E5-SAT-2-32 ($66USD) gives you a kick ass 6 core processor (Geekbench is mostly dominated by the v2 version of the processor but the few v1 benchmarks I've seen put it at 17k-18k multi core, versus the 9k-10k multi core score of E3-SAT-1), 32GB of RAM, and two 3TB drives. This will handle encodes just fine. It also has just the right amount of storage.

Those are really the best options I can think of in any given price bracket for OVH. These servers all give you great price per TB (very near to $10 per TB for all of them) and I think the CPU power scales pretty linearly with the server cost. So it really depends what you want to do. You could get multiple cheap servers (for $76USD you'd get 8TB with Kimsufi, $84USD for 8TB with E3-SAT-1). Two of the E3-SAT-1s would certainly beat out one of the E5-SAT-2-32s in transcoding power - the Kimsufis would probably be the same. Your bandwidth is also split over multiple ports, so you have a higher throughput. Also, if one server fails, the other ones should be unaffected. The disadvantage is that you have to manage all of this, and it is without a doubt easier to just get one big server and stick everything on that. To be honest, it's probably best to just keep everything on the one server, so the E5-SAT-2-32 is probably the best option if you want to get the full 6TB of storage right now. Now is a very good time to buy a SoYouStart server, too; they usually have VERY expensive setup fees (closer to $100 than $0, I don't recall the exact numbers, but it's quite a bit), but for this month they have decided to waive the fees, so it might be best to jump on it now if you want to avoid that.

You can have some really elaborate setups if you separate things, but that generally costs A LOT. A friend of mine had a setup with a rendering server with an amazing CPU and port that is connected to numerous mass-storage servers that have lower costs per TB of storage but not very good CPUs. It was a neat project, but it cost a lot.

In the long run though, if it's just for personal use (and if you have the ability to do it), I would advise just buying a NAS and sticking everything on there. It's a high upfront cost, but it is totally worth it in the end, because hard drives will cost you about $25USD per TB on Amazon. It'll have paid for itself in a few months, and the advantage is, it actually belongs to you, whereas with dedicated servers, you'll have to continue paying forever... I'd only consider a dedicated server if you have a very nomadic lifestyle or if you don't have good internet uplink and want to host for your friends.

I don't think ATT is throttling torrents. I think all the different connections to your router is crashing it. Try a different router and see what happens. Here is better router: https://www.amazon.com/Ubiquiti-EdgeRouter-Advanced-Gigabit-Ethernet/dp/B00YFJT29C/
