Its storage upgrade time again

[Propphet]

Hey guys scarce here,

Im looking for an big storage soloution to backup all my projects including personal data and stuff + extern data from friends or family.

At this moment it's about 9-10 TB but will be growing in the future, my question is what would be the best and cheapest solution?

I was looking at external drives but prices are not cheaper than internal drives and are not practical for network use.

I looked at internal storage solutions with raid cards but they get quite expensive if not purchased second hand.

And i looked for network backupping but thats expenseive if u want to get fast speeds.

 

I can get new drives from 3Tb - 8Tb for 0.023 cents a GB so about 1 tb = 23 Euro

If you just wan a backup drive id just get a few external 8tb drives. There pretty cheap, and easy to move offsite.

Do you really need redunancy here? Id just have good backups. Redunancy is for uptime, and you don't really seem to need that for this use, backups are for protecting data.
