Hi there, I've been having a serious storage problem for a few weeks now. I used to store the media generated by my projects on individual external HDD, but this is no longer an option for me. I found a storage unit on Amazon (WD Elements 18TB) that was exactly what I needed. The problem? I bought it and it came DOA, and after seeing some comments about that device, it seems they are very unreliable, so it's no longer an option. Now I don't know how to solve my problem. I just want a drive to store my backups and where I can access them when needed, not something that needs to be constantly connected, some simple, a NAS seems a bit excessive and I wouldn't want to use a cloud. What solution do you recommend me? Did I just have bad luck with the WD Elements? I live outside the USA, so I would need something that can be purchased and shipped internationally
