There sure are and you see it in the video piracy community all the time. You have guys that love giant episodes, and then people download the same episode at the same resolutions that is 1/10 the size! I can’t imagine watching a 200 to 300mb episode of a 44 minute show. Personally I would rather watch something on BluRay most of the time over streaming due to the low quality of so many movies on major streaming providers.

I’m on a 12900K and hoping to skip all the way to Nova Lake successor. Worst case I throw a 14700K or 14900K when they are discounted into my current board and still wait.

I run a Synology NAS w/ 4 x 10TB WD REDs. Two are CMR and two are SMR. IMO you can’t go wrong with WD REDs but you can go wrong with only buying a NAS that holds 4 drives :| I do plan to eventually replace this NAS with a 5, 6 or 8 bay NAS but not until Synology includes a 2.5Gbe as default without having to pay for an upgrade. Will also start replacing these 10TB drives with 16TB in the future starting with the SMR drives to increase the size of my storage pool.
