Rsync, syncthing, backups, mp3s, photos, json files; idk, a lot of tasks involve large amounts of small files. I personally ran into this problem training models on millions of photos. My GPUs would only get up to 25% utilization with mirrored HDDs, so I had to switch to SSDs.

Why are you doing that on a network storage as opposed to on device?

  Not enough room in the GPU machine for all the HDDs I needed.
  
  Also who got millions of photos at home?
  
  People working on biological datasets.

    Why are you doing that recreationally? How are you different from a researcher?
