Calibre manages the metadata and the content. Even my 2002 (22 year old) laptop still has enough space for 7,000 ebooks, though I don't use it now as it's XP and it won't even boot if any drive is more than 120 G Byte.

Unless you've a very budget PC or Chromebook, the entry level for laptop storage was 512 G Byte over 7 years ago.
This is just stage 1 of my little side project. I am hosting ebooks for my Discord group. Stage 2 would be a little bit more complicated - hosting ebooks in Raspberry Pi via network cloud. As of now, our group have a combined about 2 TB of ebooks.
