This talk explores how modern film, TV, and streaming productions generate massive amounts of data as workflows move to 4K, 8K, HDR, and VFX-heavy content. It explains why high-capacity HDDs and JBOD storage systems remain the cost-effective backbone behind the petabyte-scale infrastructure used by media companies such as Netflix. Attendees will gain a clear overview of how scalable storage architectures support everything from on-set capture to post-production and long-term media archives.
