I watch a fair amount of series, but I'm not a data hoarder. I see the value in 2GB episodes, but I watch most series on my laptop, my simple 1920x1080 tv or even my phone where that value doesn't make a difference. If I want to have a theater experience, I'll go to the theater.

Most of the times I just want to enjoy a good story and relax before I go to bed.

I don't have infinite storage and I hate when I want to download something new, but Im out of storage, so I have to delete stuff first.

Am I the only one that doesn’t like the idea of used hard drives?

You are not. I wouldn't trust a used hard drive in any way.

Not even in a zfs raidz2 of just 5 drives?

I am using unRAID so if one dies I can just replace it. About 4 years ago I bought a lot of fifteen 3TB SAS drives and I have had them running 24/7 since then. Funny enough not a single one has died. They all had around 5 years of power-on hours and now they are up to 9 and still going strong. Honestly I expected to lose at least one per year but they are surprisingly resilient.

Fair enough. Also using Unraid so I guess overall it's not a bad idea. I just need to actually get the damn things.
