    Hello fellow Techtippers,
     
    First of all this is my current setup
     
    CPU:       Intel core i3 4150
    GPU:       EVGA Geforce GTX 750ti
    Memory: Crucial Ballistix Sport 2x4GB
    MB:         ASRock B85M-ITX 
    Case:      Cooler Master elite 110
    HDD:      Seagate 3,5" 2TB
                   WD 3,5" 640GB
                   WD 2,5" 500GB (OS)
     
    This setup is used as a NAS and a gaming machine.
     
    My problem is that the 3,5" WD and Seagate are almost full. They are full of movies and tv shows, but I would like to keep them. So I had the idea to buy another HDD. But than I had the idea that I wanted some kind of backup of the tv shows and movies.
    So I came across the 'storage spaces' in windows 8. Are they any good?
    So than I thought of buying 2 HDD both 2TB so I could make a pool from these 2 and the seagate one. Or maybe 2 HDD both 3TB and when the Seagate is full I could switch it for a 3TB one, as an example. And which HDD is a good one for this? I thought about the WD Red.
    But if I buy 2 more HDD than I would need a new case, airflow is not that good in the elite 110. So the next case would be the Fractal Design Node 304 (black ofcourse).
     
    So my choices are:
    1. Deleting some movies and tv shows
    2. Buying one extra HDD for extra storage but no kind of backup
    3. Buying two extra HDD's for extra storage and backup
    4. Buying two extra HDD's for extra storage and backup + a new case
     
    So some feedback is appreciated
    Thanks in advance
                  
    PS sorry for the not so good English
