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!

Tip: if you are going to store data on "the cloud" aka someone else's computer, encrypt it locally before sending the data! There are existing solutions to do this in a cloud-optimized way (that is, not sending in an archive which has to be fully reuploaded for any tiny change) such as cryptomator. I think rclone also has an encryption feature but haven't checked.

Oh definitely. I'm seeking a service that encrypts at the local level before ending sending a byte to the cloud but thank you for the input!
