Come on man, everything, and mean everything you said is wrong.

Budget tape backup?

No, you can’t even begin to compare drives to tape. They’re completely different use cases. A hard drive can contain a backup but it’s not physically robust to be unplugged, rotated off site , and put into long term storage like tape. You might as well say a Honda Accord is a budget Semi tractor trailer.

Then you specifically called out personal downloads of anime as a bad use case. That’s absolutely wrong in all cases.

It is absurd to imply that everyone else except for you is less knowledgeable and using a niche case except you.
