Bought it about 1 year ago from overtime work hours (as compensation).
So there were budgetary constraints. Plus I was looking for drives that were quiet and wouldnt rattle my brain out (it runs in the same room I sleep in).
So far it's quiet enough to sleep while in light use but I had to schedule stuff while I am usually at work to not disturb my rest too much.

Edit:

Of course most people don't need all that though.... including me honestly but hey, that data isn't going to collect itself.

No, no. You do need that ;D
Personally I have 4x16TB but I have allocated only 46% (12.96/28.07TiB) for use.
And that's currently enough for me.
