Piracy isn't even free! People pay thousands of dollars for hardware, and hundreds per year for electricity and various service providers.
But they actually get what they want for that money: Being able to watch whatever you want, anytime, on any device, in high quality and without ads. It must be really hard for streaming services to compete with features as futuristic as that!
Seriously. I'm running a Synology with 12x16TB. That'd buy a bunch of months of streaming services...but this way actually gives me content to watch that I want to watch.
And offline. And in the quality you define. And on any device.
You've made my DS220+ blush
I've got a DS920+ on a shelf, and she's super jealous of the Rackstation.
Just out of curiosity, what drive configuration are you running?
RAID6, one big storage pool. On that one, the bulk of it's usage in a single shared folder for video, though I do have another carved out for a VMware datastore for the homelab, though it's mostly just there for somewhere to stick VMs when I'm updating DSM on the smaller DS9220+ (4x8TB in RAID 5).
