So, uh, I discovered both my local and external HDD are not enough to store all the shit Im downloading. Im looking for some kind of solution - are there some alternatives to NAS? If going for NAS, what should I look out for?
>pic unrelated
There are only two choices: fill your computer with hard drives, or build a NAS. Unless you are a faggot and like cloud storage.
I ended up buying usb hubs and plopping in an 8tb harddrive to empty onto every few days.
only power it on when writing to or when pulling files off of and it stays cold and lasts long

More storage is never the answer.
Less hoarding is the answer.
Source: I'm at 9TB now.

How long until you flip the switch to the HDDs being registered by your computer and ready to read/write?

I went past the point of now return when I started using 2 screens. Im THAT guy now. Only solution is to embrace it.

just get a decent sized harddrive and empty that onto external harddrives when you need to while keeping the main one going
