I thought HP Sauce referred to the Harry Potter franchise, which is a book about a UK orphaned teenager living with oppressive stepparents discovering the secret ingredient to making a delicious dipping sauce.
As with every industry, there's a point where there's enough growth for a win-win for the company and consumers, so consumers benefit with new features; once that dries up the company starts squeezing, so consumers endure new features and use the product despite the changes.
there's nothing funny about the ridiculous cable prices some places charge :( i used to have 15mbps until i moved and got 1gbps... seeing a tv show finish downloading in 3 minutes was an eye opening experience
The good thing about JBOD is that it doesn't take much work to set up at all (just plug em in), and you can access them any time. I tend to rewatch old shows a lot.
i've been looking into snapRAID. It's software-based and seems to work great if you don't write/delete that much. Doesn't require a NAS setup too, it can work on an existing install and hard drives with existing data!
Do you have all your hard drives connected to your computer/NAS or are they in cold storage? I have 6 HDDs/SSDs combined on my computer and no more available SATA/M2 slots...
I just added a bunch of hard disks to my own computer, so my costs were pretty low - if I spread out the cost of my hard drives it's cost about $5 per month so far, and that number's still slowly decreasing every month.
Storage space isn't as big a problem for music - for me, tv shows are the main issue.
I like to rewatch shows a lot in the background - I like having The Office or How I Met Your Mother on while i'm doing chores or something, so I have a lot of shows stored. It takes a lot of HDD space, but I also don't have to pay for 3 different streaming services just to watch 3 shows

Amazon damaged their brand name once they started acting like a third-party marketplace. Now it's basically almost like ebay.
Tech has just reached the maturation point.

that's been a leading indicator of popularity for a long time now.

damn, 4k takes up so much space.
Really? You must be pretty unlucky - i don't want to tempt fate here, but I've only had a couple of bad sectors here and there with my hard drives!
I rewatch old shows a lot actually - i like to keep sitcoms playing in the background when doing chores.
