Looking at ssd for speed and longevity, eh? Go to ebay or whatever secondhand marketplace you prefer and shop the used enterprise u.2 and grab a m.2 to u.2 adapter while you’re out. You will not find a better value for your dollar if endurance is an objective. Datacenter grade storage is more expensive but that’s because the endurance is rated in drive writes per day instead of terabytes written. For example,you can roughly expect prices to be 10x higher while endurance will be 50x higher when comparing enterprise ssds to consumer.

I just want to thank you and OP help me move on from this sinking ship that is Jellyfin. Been trying to like it enough for too long.

Have you gotten any recipe integrations to work with nextcloud? Can’t find a satisfactory apk to enter and edit recipes correctly, kinda turning me off to the entire nextcloud thing.
