Am I just dumb? Why would one connect a drive to a NAS, move files around, then connect that drive to another machine? Why wouldn’t you just access the NAS from… idk… the network?

This was recently linked by someone else regarding SSDs ans SMART data. Hope it helps, but it’s basically “there’s only a few standardized-ish and relevant-ish attributes for SSDs”.
I live in a small apartment (40 m², about 430 sqft), and I still like to buy physical media (although that doesn’t mean everything I own has to be on physical media).
For me it’s mostly music (~700 CDs, ~500 LPs), and a handful of DVDs/BluRays. I guess I just like to have that stuff around me. If Amazon/Netflix/Spotify/Deezer/whatever other streaming services there are all shut down tomorrow I don’t even care…
