Totally agree. I am running 16TB of raid 5+1 (yes raid 5 local, remotly mirrored) on spinning 8tb drives. I have been picking them up around $10/TB or less used. So I can't justify a 10x price.

Probably 1/2 of my collect is already in h.265, so I wouldn't get that much space back for the quality I would loose re-encoding .264 to .265.

Price per GB seems way too high, especially considering it's QLC. That being said, I guess the high capacity and the lack of competition in that capacity class is their selling point. I'll pass,...

Yeah, I got the 4 TB for $360 and at least for my use case (external game storage) I'd rather have 2x 4 TB. $720 vs $750 8 TB at that price.
