Storage advice - University

[Bauhini]

Hello,

 

I’m just about to start my PHD studies and I am looking for advice about an efficient way to store my data. It is not going to be very large files, mostly excel, SPSS, images and word files. It’s pancreatic surgery so it won’t be performance demanding at all. But I’d like to expand this to my overall storage as well. I do occasional premier work; I’ve got maybe 100 gigs of videos storage on a crappy external Toshiba drive.

I’ve been using my XPS 13 from 2018 for my University studies and its 750 gig drive is basically full with random stuff from university and other things I’d like to keep

This is my current setup (my first ever build):

-          ASUS PRIME B660M-A D4

-          Intel Core i5 12600K 3.7 GHz 20MB

-          Gigabyte GeForce RTX 3060 Ti 8 GB GAMING OC PRO V3

-          Corsair 32GB (2x16GB) DDR4 3600MHz CL18 Vengean

-          Samsung 970 EVO Plus 1TB

-          Seasonic Focus GX 750W

-          TP-LINK AX3000 (had to get this as a quick fix when I moved)

What is the best solution for me? I am going to be using my laptop in parallel to my work station. Budget is not as much of an issue as space is.

 

Thanks in advance
