I just punched in 12tb drive and that was the first one. I could drop in a 4gb scsi drive instead?
WD Red for data hoarding/NAS. People like Barracuda drives as well but I've had bad luck with Seagate reliability in the past.
Also, purples tend to cost more because they are rated for surveillance.

Aka 24/7 read writes of video files. Purples are fine for achieving just pop an SSD cache in your server

The purple drives work well for any write-heavy workload that's constantly writing to disk. Surveillance is just the primary use case.
You can buy drm free games to download and keep forever on gog.com, and music on bandcamp.com and qobuz.com
Btw if you buy a physical copy through bandcamp, you get digital download and streaming included

Yeah, but nothing ever for movies or series.
Even if you "buy" them it's only loaned until the service decides otherwise or dies.
Oh, didn't know about gobuz, thanks!
There are plenty of ways to acquire permanent ownership of movies and TV, it's just that it isn't legal ownership.
Let's be honest, who reads the terms and conditions when they buy something? And no lying.
I read it on important/big purchases, but definitely not on video games.
If they revoke my license, then I'll just pirate it.
If they revoke your license you should get a full refund tbh.
If it's worth $n to access something, then the damages for revoking it should also be $n.

I buy media to support the creators because the ad driven economy is killing the internet.
Yes, a large chunk of that doesn’t make it to the creators.
It’s still better than ad revenue by a large margin.
