Well, this thread went from good reading to turd with lightning speed... also davilla is a nice guy, I remember interviewing him for a blog a few years ago when I knew nothing about XBMC, he kindly took the time to explain everything in great detail.
Anyway, I think x265 could be useful for certain applications, mostly streaming content where bandwidth is an issue. I don't see me using it for backups unless I get a 4K screen, which is very unlikely for a long time. I'm happy with x264, the profiles and resulting quality. Plus hard drives aren't expensive (£75 for 3TB).
