does one really need 40gb networking to stream bluerays?
- simplyluke 5mo agoI am (clearly) not as far down the rabbithole as the commenter you're replying to, but almost certainly not. Streaming 4k blueray is on the order or ~100Mb/s, which means on a LAN bog-standard gigabit ethernet and associated networking hardware would be more than sufficient. This is taking a hobby to its extremes, in much the same way that a $5k boat and $500k boat let you catch the same fish.

- iwontberude 5mo agoYou are totally right, it’s mostly just for backups and transfers to rebalance data.
