Looking to expand the external storage for backups on my mini PC server, and I'm having trouble deciding between an external HDD enclosure or a NAS. Currently the PC is connected to a single 5TB external HDD, plus an internal 2TB SATA SSD in addition to the OS drive. I'm looking for 4/5 bays minimum. My intent is to continue running everything (Plex, QBittorrent, SMB/SFTP, etc.) on the PC and so the NAS would not need to be a powerful one, pretty much just for managing files over the local network. Would a NAS or HDD enclosure work better for this purpose, and any recommendations?
