We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time (tm) ). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

Hey so, I just passed the 30TB mark but I need more storage. Can anyone reccomend me a SATA hub or docking bay for more HDDs? I already maxed out the slots in my server case. And specifically NOT USB 3.0 bays. I want them to act like actual drives and I feel like USB would slow them down way too much for my liking.

If you mean hub like a USB hub for SATA... Please don't lol.

docking bay for more HDDs?

QNAP has a couple SAS ones that fit the bill

USB would slow them down way too much for my liking.

USB 3.0 is fast enough for at least 2 HDDs each lol
