I just love it when people say stuff like, “You’ll never use X to do this because Y is enough.” They said the same thing about RAM memory over 640K. They said the same about 1GB HDDs, They said the same thing about 2/4/8/16/32/64/128GB flash drives. The lesson? If you build it, someone will find a use for it. For the last 3 years I’ve personally used an 8TB NAS that uses 8 - 1TB 2.5" laptop hdds. I’ve only used about 3TB of it. But I didn’t bat an eye when someone else mentioned they are using 50TB for a NAS. Half of my video collection is standard definition, the other half is HD. I imagine that number will increase as I archive and stream more HD and UltraHD. When the time comes I’ll probably upgrade to something in the Petabyte range.
