Phew! I just bought three 16TB drives a couple of months ago for my jellyfin setup.

Selling them for $5000 each if anyone is interested.

    Redundancy and high quality backups maybe? Some people have hoarded a lot of media over how many years, doesn't seem too far fetched to me.

    I get 4k/8k quality everything if I can. Plus my fam can queue up downloads. I had 32TB but we’ve filled it up in 18 months. I now have a backup of the stuff I really like and a bit of room to grow. They keep downloading long running series one of them got project model or something, some food shows and a tattoo show.
