Yeah same…as always trailers shows way too much. But definitely going to watch it!

Thanks both for the details, I’ll keep everything in mind! Do you have any brand or models you would recommend for your experience? I took a look around and I think I will skip it for now as it will increase my budget a bit more than I want, but I’ll go back to it in the future.

Thanks for the answer! Absolutely, as I said in another comment I don’t think I can push more than 4tb with the inside drive. I found a crucial ssd for that size at a relatively reasonable price (~260€), I might just wait a little bit to increase the budget and go with that and don’t worry about it for a while

No worries! I think I got what you meant, just wanted to make sure. I agree with you to separate storage from apps and systems, in this way if something goes wrong with the main drive (I think) I should also be able to restore the system and not lose any downloaded media or data.

Thanks! I was planning to add a backup storage at one point, I’ll probably think about this option then :)

Thanks for the detailed answer! :) Indeed, I read that I would be limited in storage size if choosing the internal option. That said I am not sure I will be using more than 4tb in the next months, considering also that I don’t have the need for 4k videos at the moment. Would it be a “waste” to just go for an internal ssd to start, and then upgrade to a larger hdd (external) in the future?

Also, sorry just to clarify, when you say

Make sure you’re not writing logs or anything like that to it, it should be on demand use only

Does downloading media to the drive still counts as a viable thing to do? And I guess the on demand use would be e.g. streaming.
