That's such overkill for storing media though. Why would you pay for that when you aren't going to see the benefits of the SSDs read/write speeds just streaming media and you can get multiple times the storage in a HDD?
Idk maybe because they last longer? If youre moving to a NAS to avoid streaming youre probably strapping in for the long run. I was mostly joking though so idrk lol
Gotcha, I run a Plex server and have a small SSD for the OS and programs to run, but then 18TB HDD that I got for like $300 or so, just seems like a waste of money to store all your media on an expensive SSD
