Hi all. I currently have a SFF pc (HP Optiplex-like but smaller) running Plex and some other software. Happy with my software setup for the time being.
However - I’m stuck with what to do next on the storage front. I have a 5TB external HDD that’s plugged into the little PC and that’s basically what I use for all of my storage. This isn’t enough (running out of space) and also doesn’t feel very versatile.
Where to from here? I don’t know whether to go the RAID route and buy an enclosure that supports it, or just get a bunch of drives and chain them together. A Synology NAS seems way too expensive. What should I do?
Just wanted to jump in here - I ended up doing as the commenter below me has said and bought a 20TB external hard drive. Well worth doing imo. I’m going to keep all of my important media that I want to save on the 5TB as a backup.
