I'm an audio engineer and do some video work. I've been using two 6tb thunderbolt gdrives for my "2" backups on the 3-2-1 plan but they're full. I never delete any client work so it's just going to keep growing. I have done a lot of reading here and it seems like getting some enclosures and using Sata drives would be more sustainable moving forward.

I'd like to keep the whole audio backup together as long as possible before segmenting it to multiple drives since I have a lot of returning clients (so keeping track of who is on what backup could become a pain). Video and all that could be on a different drive and make that dream last for a long while.

I just wanted to bounce this off people with more experience before pulling the trigger. Not sure what to look for in an enclosure, I'm thinking sticking with thunderbolt would be nice. I've read to seek out enterprise level drives. Any and all thoughts would be amazing, thank you.
