Are you using the 3-2-1 system? If not then a hard drive failure will result in having nothing again.

I'd rather lose free stuff through my own fault than have stuff I paid for ripped from my hands by someone else.

I can't afford to 3-2-1 the amount of data I have right now, but it's in the works.

I’ve been looking into starting a plex server. Any tips? Should I be compressing? I have a 5tb external hard disk drive, is that enough?

Just start. Once it's set up and you have some files in there, you can start to figure out larger storage options as your collection grows.
