Raspberry pi storage

[Julian Borghuis]

Hey,I have a question. Currently I use a 1tb hdd for my files so that my ssd does not get full. now it is still less than I have a question. Currently I use a 1tb hdd for my files so that my ssd does not get full. now it is still less than 300gb. now i have a raspberry pi but is it possible that different disks are linked to 1 raspberry pi and then make it into a network disk, and then in Windows select that network disk as: desktop folder, documents folder, downloads folder, and so on and so forth.

 Second is this wise?

 Thirdly how can I make all this?

Are you going to use one of your drive as boot for the pi? Otherwise as long as all the drives get enough power you should be fine. Your pi 's model will also affect how fast your HDD on the network will perform.

Yes you can do that, however your HDD's read/write performance will be severely compromised. The rpi i/o is limited, to say the least.

What will you be doing with it?

but is it possible that different disks are linked to 1 raspberry pi // a pc and then make it into a network disk, and then in Windows select that network disk as: desktop folder, documents folder, downloads folder, and so on and so forth.

Here are the resources I used to mount a rpi 3 to a NAS last year. Nobody here is going to be able to walk you through this step by step. It can be quite involved, but there are a ton of resources out there people have written up who were at one point in your very own shoes. You're going to have to do a little research on your own. These links should help you.
