Ahoy! My internal hdds are at max with all I've been torrenting and I'm considering some type of Docking station for my desktop with several 10Tbs drives in them to allow me to store and backup my data for offline protection.

I was wondering if anyone had done any type of setup like this and if it's a reliable method for offline data storage. I'd also like it to have a RAID capability but I have software which can mirror drives to each other on startup/shutdown, etc. Also, I'd need it to have a USB-type connection for a USB SSD drive to pop-out & connect to my Smart TV for viewing.

An end goal would be to get a 3-2-1 setup but I can't find a reliable Cloud storage I'd trust with that much data except maybe Filen.

Any positive input about brands, drives, services, etc. would be most appreciated!

Thanks!

I know you can't see my face but I just threw up in my mouth a little bit.

His tech bubble is clearly going to keep growing so why not invest now versus buying a full size case and all these extra hard drives and then realizing in a year or two that you really wanted a rack amount to begin with so you can expand even more?

I started with a rack case, hated it and ended up with a Fractal Design 7 XL. Plus, after years of running it I am looking to downsize with higher capacity harddrives or ideally even pure NVMe storage (expensive as hell for 80TB+). Not everybody wants to cosplay as a sysadmin all the time.
