And yet you are telling people who have given you the answer they are
wrong.

Because you have no clue what you are talking about or what the device
is doing when it reindexes?

Building indexes is quite different than reindexing as files change or
are updated. I have 70TB hanging off my desktop machine (yes, I have
added even more storage). Most of those files never change, so one they
are index, nothing else needs to be done with them. Building the initial
index takes a long time.
