Why would writes matter? I assume at 80TB you aren’t using SSD. Magnetic drives don’t care whether they are reading or writing. It’s the spinning and heads moving that wear them out.

I’ve cut off all but Disney+ and that’s only because my nieces and nephews use it. Everything else just gets put into my 80TB raid now. Could probably do to start purging some of it, but also I wanna keep the writes to a minimum to extend drive life and I’m not anywhere near full.

Even if your drives are all SSD you’re never going to have so many writes that it dies unless you download a full catalog of 8k content daily then nuke it and start over… for a few years
