What interface?

 

Something like this would work finehttps://www.amazon.com/Inateck-Aluminum-Drive-Enclosure-FE3001/dp/B00UAA4J6G/ref=pd_lpo_147_tr_t_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=H5RYMNM3QM81QS5HX68S

FE3001 shows high compatibility with operating system environments Windows XP/Vista/7/8/8.1, Linux/Android, Mac OS. It supports all standard 2.5"/3.5" SATA I/II/III drives up to any capacity (up to 8TB). Downward compatible with USB 2.0/1.1 connections.

 

Doesn't support up to 10tb or at least they haven't tried it on anything higher then 8tb.

Case - NZXT H6 Flow : Mobo - ASRock X670E PG Lightning : PSU - Deepcool PX1000G : CPU - AMD Ryzen 9 7900X3D w/Arctic Freezer III 360  : Memory - G.Skill Ripjaws S5 32gb 6000mhz CL30 : GPU - MSI Expert 4080 Super : Storage - Verbatim Vi7000G 4tb NVME SSD  : Displays - Gigabyte 32" M32QC Curved 165hz & 27" M27Q Pro 165hz 1440p

That's nice and all. But I can't find one that supports more than one.

Not necessarily, I have a 2.5mm enclosure that works with Samsung 840 evo's but will not work with a samsung 850 evo.  Could also be brand dependent not all drives are made the same one brand might work while another would not.

how many you want?

 

Id stay away from 10tb as there much more expensive and less reliable than smaller drives?

 

would a nas work?

At least two.

 

 

Man, I must be overestimating on video size. How much space a 4K 60FPS 30-60 min video usually take up?

 

I am not willing to go for a NAS.

If I were you I'd find out which companies are the most reputable (I've had good luck with Vantec enclosures) and email them asking if they have any the support 10tb drives.  I emailed Vantecusa once a question about one of their enclosures and I got an email back in less then 12 hours.

about 22gb for 30 min at 100mb/s

 

For that price you can get a 500gb ssd for editing off of and a synology nas and 12tb of hdd's in raid 5

Many enclosure makers use different chipsets which leads to weird issues, not only SSDs but I've had several enclosures(2.5 & 3.5) refuse to work with drives with more than 64mb cache...  I wasted a full day troubleshooting why a mobile Seagate 1TB 128mb cache & desktop Seagate Constellation 4TB wasn't working until I just mounted it with a vintage Seagate GoFlex dock base since I didn't have a spare Vantec case O.o 

 

I would agree the OP would be better served with Vantec enclosures just for their customer/tech support service, once Microcenter sold me an older revision and they replaced it with a newer revision under warranty with a free UPS return label.

I did the math, and in one 10TB drive, I can store ~230 videos.
