Need inspiration for my storage solution

[DudefromHamburg]

Hey there,

 

after finalizing my build within my Anidees Crystal Cube Lite i realized that i had to remove the included 2x3,5 Bay for aesthetic reaons.

 

But, only running a whole rig on only 1,5TB Storage (2x 512 NVME@Raid0 + 1x 512 GB SSD) isnt the best way for my purposes. I have a lot of old video and audiofiles which i need to acces sometimes. So i was thinking, i have 3,5TB of HDD Storage (1x1,5 & 1x2,0 TB) lying right next to me. But, because im also very fond of silent Systems, i rather dont want to include any moving parts in my storage solution, at least not permanent.

I i was thinking of possible solutions:

 

1.) Getting a 2bay external enclosure with USB 3.1 and just reuse my old HDDs. Pro:Price Con: external power supply
2.) Getting a 4TB 2,5´ external Drive with only a USB 3.0 plug.

3.) Going all in, getting a Asus M2 Hyper Key Card and hoarding NVME drives.

 

What would you reccomend?
