I do understand what an ISP is that’s why I was confused how you would pirate from one. But it seems you just don’t understand how grammar works.

What are you pirating from your internet service provider? Or does ISP stand for something else I’m not aware off?

Also what is a magnet ?

The USB hubs for the HDDs would need to be powered.

If the HDDs themselves are bus-powered, yes. But larger HDD enclosures often have their own power supply (which just adds to the mess of cables).

Just two either 16GB or 20GB HDDs to work as backups of each other.

That’s how I started. And eventually I ended up with 6 USB drives connected to my 2 bay NAS.

If you’re certain that you won’t have to expand your setup anytime soon, go for it. But if you want to future proof, I’d recommend a 5 bay NAS instead of laptop and put 2-3 HDDs in there to start with. Shouldn’t be that big of a price difference but will give you the option of easily adding more storage later.

Unless you’re doing multiple 4k streams from the same HDD, neither the HDD nor the USB connection will be the limiting factor. However, depending on how many drives you plan on adding, the USB-hub and cable management will get messy eventually.

Wrong prophet but I like the religion.

South Park just signed a 5 year, 1.5 billion dollar deal, their funding is save. Also Matt & Trey have made pro-piracy comments in the past (even made an episode about it: “Christian Rock Hard”).

So don’t worry about South Park.
