You could buy something like a Synology NAS and load it with 10TB drives (or whatever your heart desires) and set it up for redundancy (RAID1).

 

If you're adventurous you could take a wack at building your own miniature file server with your favorite flavor of Linux. I like FreeNAS. Then you could build an array of drives any size of any quantity. Even set it up so you could connect to it when you're away from home (I'm just assuming that's where you are)

I have a total of 7TB of storage on my computer, 1TB is an NVMe SSD, and the other 6TB are made up of 2 hard drives. As a content creator, i've already used up almost half of the storage in the past 2-3 months. I don't like deleting files, and so i was wondering if there was a way to have more HDD storage that wasn'y just a SATA to USB converter or anything like that as i would like to have multiple drives in the future. My case is a compact case and only comes with 2 drive bays so i'm kind of full there.

Maybe buy a new case with Adapter 5.25" to 3.5"
