So awhile ago I got a computer with a motherboard with 6 sata ports and that was doing good but only 6 ports limits me. I love buying used hard drives so is there a cheaper way to use all these hard drives, like a multi bay enclosure or maybe a server???
I do mini PCs and USB hard drives. More frequently accessed stuff and smaller files (think music, pictures, documents, backup repositories) resides in about 6TB of SSD storage. The only way you could go cheaper is probably raspberry pis or something but they’re not nearly as good in terms of compute for the money.
