Fair enough, for Germany there's no chance of paying such low taxes. And when I checked there were no deals, 160 bucks for a 6 TB HDD, and 20 TB are all $400+.

And my media library (Kodi gang) sits at around 2 TB at the moment, plus maybe 500GB of photos and documents, and some work files, so one 4 TB drive is enough for everything, my 8 TB NAS and 8 TB USB HDD are just backups now, plus some rarely accessed data (steam library, for instance).
