So I'm quickly running out of storage as I convert all my discs to digital for the HTPC. Currently I have an old laptop connected to the big screen and a couple of 4TB external HDD occupying all the available ports. After doing the math I figure I'll need a minimum of 24TB to fit what I currently own. Since I'm not made of money I was wondering if I purchased this enclosure and 3 8TB drives to start with will that work? Later, as my collection expands can I just drop in another drive? Lastly what about mixing and matching drive capacities like 1 16TB drive with my original 3 8TB, will that work?
Might be worth noting my current laptop supports USB A 2.0 only but I am upgrading in the next 6-12 months and that PC will have USB C ports and I want this drive setup to work with the upgrade.
