As the title suggests. I have about 12tb full on WD Blue drives in my HTPC. I want to move it to something more long term (these have been running about 5 years now, and still show as healthy). I was thinking either:
-A DAS Enclosure with some refurbished HGST/WD Enterprise drives (I've seen some on Ebay for around $80 a piece)
-An external hard drive like the WD 22tb My Book
Trying not to spend more than $4-500, and would like to be able to contain all of my current data as well as anything more in the future. I could probably buy new drives with the DAS or buy a new external every 5 years or so.
I do not have the networking in place to do a NAS, and I only need to utilize the one PC so I figured a DAS or regular External HD would suffice. Just looking to see if anyone has experience with these options or have been in a similar situation?
