The point is that 8TB are too small, and not enough for my anime.

Whats the point when the prices for 4-8TB disks are stable the last 5 years? (I think that they are getting higher even…)

Retaining that much detail on tentacles takes some drive space

See the problem is the details keep getting higher res, but we also never stopped to ask if 32 tentacles was too much…

If the price per TB is stable you just buy 2 or 3 disks. It used to be that you buy one disk because by the time you needed more space the price per TB would be dropped a lot (halved even).

My NAS has a limited number of bays, so buying more low-storage disks isn’t a great option.

Buy a SAS adapter and put them in an external storage rack.

Yep. It’s absurd. Who spends that much on a 4TB?

The point is the need for more and more data storage is never going to stop.
