Wondering if the RPM's make a difference whether you play 4k, 1080, Atmos etc. Or will 5400 do for everything and why?

5400 RPM drives have more than enough throughput for data storage playback. I use 31 of them. Quieter, cooler, last longer, easier on the power grid, etc. 7200 RPM drives transfer faster.

Holy crap! 31! Well thats good to know, 5400's are a bit easier on the wallet as well.

What size drives do you use out of curiosity? I was thinking about getting an 8TB
