    I disagree. I very much want something like this at some point for media storage. One of these babies could replace all of my spinning disk drives.

      Make sure you make backups - it’s better to have multiple small drives in case of failure than one big, but in any case 3-2-1 backups!

        I only 3-2-1 my photos and configs. No need to back up my Linux isos

        Then I guess I disagree for a different reason—the ballpark estimate definitely helped me conceptualize how far that storage would go for me.

            It’s a ballpark average. The point is that it translates to “a holy shit ton of movies”. I need to store a holy shit ton of movies.
