The original post: /r/datahoarder by /u/JacobyJones13 on 2024-09-23 23:21:00.

I am looking for some advice on next steps for my growing hoard of data. I have accumulated eight external hard drives of varying sizes (1-5TB) over the last ~10 years and am hitting a crossroads where I need additional storage space, but also want to consolidate if possible. Total amount of data probably sits around 20TB.

Half of the data is backup and the other half is dedicated to Plex. I have looked into NAS but it seems overkill for my purposes right now as I am the sole user of Plex and don’t need a server constantly running. Would a DAS or some sort of hard drive enclosure with larger WD Red type drives be better for me? Or is it stupid to not make the NAS investment now?

Thanks in advance for your help!
