I just took my first step in the self-hosting world with Immich using an old LG Gram laptop with 256 GB of storage, and immediately ran out space.

I thought about buying a new SDD for the laptop, but if I’m upgrading, it might make more sense to just get some proper hardware for this.

But I’m not sure what I should get, exactly. For now, I plan on self-hosting AdGuard Home, Immich, Paperless-ngx and maybe a music server. Hopefully something simple, definitely something I can add more storage later as needed. What are some good options for this use case?
