Bought it about 1 year ago from overtime work hours (as compensation).
So there were budgetary constraints. Plus I was looking for drives that were quiet and wouldnt rattle my brain out (it runs in the same room I sleep in).
So far it’s quiet enough to sleep while in light use but I had to schedule stuff while I am usually at work to not disturb my rest too much.

Oh nowadays you can get 26tb drives pretty affordably, so a 4 bay NAS could be getting you 50TiB now.
Of course most people don’t need all that though… including me honestly but hey, that data isn’t going to collect itself.
