You answered your own question. How does the data get on those high capacity disks? The faster your pipe, the more content you can fill quickly / easily.

In my case it does not provide a compelling case. With 50mb, it is plenty fast and do not feel need for faster. backup of my content does not seem to require more bandwidth either for PCs. I use both Backblaze and Dropbox, and they both work in the background etc, again 50mb is plenty.

Thinking more about this, I think I may need more bandwidth if I were consuming more real-time high volume data. May be the upcoming virtual reality apps (Occulus, etc.) will be the next jump in bandwidth requirements.
