Idk where your getting your numbers from.

Here is an article that talks about HDD read power usage being less than 10w:

Even with 30w, it’s still lower than the 75w you mentioned.

Also, that hard drive can serve multiple purposes whereas Netflix is only for steaming movies and tv shows (not music, so you got to add Spotify usage to be fully fair).
