idk, a debrid service is so cheap, it costs less to pay than to buy the hard drives and server + power. And it has pretty much everything already, so it's more convenient, too.

It's hard to justify dropping a pile of cash on 3 drives for a RAID when it will take about a decade to pay for itself vs. debrid, by which point I'll need to replace the drives. Plus, it takes more time to set up, maintain, and load the desired media.

Isn't that just asking for trouble? From the Real-Debrid TOS:

The User acknowledges not to use our service to download copyright infringement digital files punishable by a suspension of his account and reporting to competent organizations and authorities

Logging policy is not great:

Files links that Users download are stored in a database for legal concerns and our internal use. All saved links are erased within 1 month for security reasons and service needs. However all requests made on our site are stored for 1 year, the legal retention period.

Doesn't look like you can sign up anonymously (unless you consider bitcoin and email anonymous, which they're generally not).

How long until they get raided?

You could do the free wifi defense and set a super poor password and spend a month or so downloading legal stuff without a VPN before going arr using a VPN. And if someone comes knocking just say you don't recall having a debrid account and claim you must've been hacked.

When they come knocking they usually also confiscate your hardware, question and interview your friends and family, etc.. Good luck with that defense :)
