Thanks for the detailed answer! :) Indeed, I read that I would be limited in storage size if choosing the internal option. That said I am not sure I will be using more than 4tb in the next months, considering also that I don’t have the need for 4k videos at the moment. Would it be a “waste” to just go for an internal ssd to start, and then upgrade to a larger hdd (external) in the future?

Also, sorry just to clarify, when you say

Make sure you’re not writing logs or anything like that to it, it should be on demand use only

Does downloading media to the drive still counts as a viable thing to do? And I guess the on demand use would be e.g. streaming.
