Prices are rising across Netflix, Spotify, and their peers, and more people are quietly returning to the oldest playbook of the internet: piracy. Is the golden age of streaming over?

      Oh nowadays you can get 26tb drives pretty affordably, so a 4 bay NAS could be getting you 50TiB now.

      Of course most people don’t need all that though… including me honestly but hey, that data isn’t going to collect itself.

        Bought it about 1 year ago from overtime work hours (as compensation).
        So there were budgetary constraints. Plus I was looking for drives that were quiet and wouldnt rattle my brain out (it runs in the same room I sleep in).
        So far it’s quiet enough to sleep while in light use but I had to schedule stuff while I am usually at work to not disturb my rest too much.

        Edit:

        No, no. You do need that ;D
        Personally I have 4x16TB but I have allocated only 46% (12.96/28.07TiB) for use.
        And that’s currently enough for me.
