Hi, first time posting here, I hope it’s the right subreddit to ask, sorry if it’s not.
I currently have all of my PC drives full or almost full. I also have a 2tb external drive with around 600gb free and that’s it.
- Most of that space are videos recorded with my camera from travel. I expect to record some more tb in the future(maybe around 500-1000gb a year.
- I also make music so I need internal space for virtual instrument libraries(an HDD would do in this case). Maybe freeing up space with a personal cloud storage would let me regain space from my main HDDs. Even with that I would need maybe another 2tb to be safe.
3.To add to that I would like to start doing some backups of my files since I don’t want to lose important files personal or from work.
- If possible, progressively, I would like to have a personal cloud media server so I can stream and upload/download files wherever I go and to my other devices like TV and so.
I was thinking maybe about a NAS but maybe there are some better options. I don’t know.
As a side note I have an old pc that has good performance and I can add HDD to it but it is very noisy and I fear it has a high power consumption.
So here’s my question. What would be the best and most affordable option? I’m looking for something under 300€ if possible and maybe in the future I can go for some upgrade to it. Any idea?
