[Advise needed] For storage issue

[Luffy Pirate King]

Most of my video file for drama is around 1gb each epd, and 4-8gb for each movie. I have a ssd for OS and 2 x 3tb hdd, almost used up every space. I wanted to add on 1 or 2 3tb hdd, but my casing doesnt allows me to.

My hdd is mainly for storing video files, how do you guys keep and housekeep your hdd besides deleting away "older" shows or "not worth to keep" shows?

many people buy an NAS to store their data, but can be a little expensive for > 2 bay NAS... might want to check out other direct attached storage like RAID enclosures? it is cheaper and (usually) faster but less flexible, only 1 computer can use at once, while NAS is (usually) slower but can be shared amongst all your users...

newer NAS has media management and streaming capabilities too, so might want to check if it's suitable for you...

Im a noob in PC hardwares, not to mention NAS. But then i remember, if im not sharing intensively among the PC i have at home, NAS is a bit overkill for my usage?

Me only one PC at home.

Get a 4TB external hdd.

Get a 4TB external hdd.

Am considering that or a large RAID enclosure.

any raid enclosures to recommend?

Depends on whether you need to have easy access to the data, or just long term storage. If long term storage - buy a Bluray writer.
