External hard drive disk enclosure

[Otago_Man]

Hello, Im looking at getting a hard drive disk enclosure to hold the raw recordings for my Youtube videos so I don't need a NAS. I'm currently having a look at the Terramaster D4-320 4-Bay USB Single Disk Enclosure, but I was wondering if this was a good option, or if there was a better option?

How many TB of storage do you need?

 

That should work fine, but might be cheaper to get separate enclosures for each drive. Pretty sure that enclosure doesn't have RAID.

I would want to start with about 10TB with the possibility to get more later on. What single enclosures would you recommended?

I'd be tempted to get a 20-24TB external HDD. Then you don't need a separate enclosure. 

 

Make sure to backup the data you care about too.

Find the cheapest from the big brands like Seagate, WD and Toshiba. They should all be pretty similar in terms of the HDD you would get.
