Currently, I have about 8 TB of data to store, split between files for backup (4-6 TB) and files in active use. My setup includes three external HDDs (2x 2TB and 1x 4TB) and a 4TB internal HDD in my PC.

Due to past HDD failures, I subscribed to an 8TB cloud service, but it's costly and hard to manage.I'm considering a refurbished 12TB HDD to consolidate my backups and cancel the cloud service, but I'm concerned about data loss.

I've also looked into NAS/DAS systems but need advice on whether they're necessary for my use case.

I need a solution that provides redundancy and is cost-effective, possibly utilizing my existing drives.

Thanks for time and help! Any suggestions will be appreciated!!
