I have an old computer that I use for storing and streaming my media. It has an attached external drive. I would like to increase my storage and build something that could be extensible to at least 100TB. I am not worried about backup.

I looked and I think I need a HDD rack or enclosure. Some people gave me links to good deals on ebay and some other sellers but they are based on the US and shipping fees are high. I saw this HDD enclosure and it seems to be what I am searching but I don’t if they are good.

Do you have some advices for me?

    100TB, external enclosures, no backups 🤔 I would pickup a used storage server with a lot of drive bays from eBay. The external bays seem attractive but I’ve never heard good stories about performance or reliability.

      That’s what I am afraid of, some people told me that you end up having issues when you fill it up, so few years after if you buy an HDD a year.

      I don’t understand why some says they don’t support HDD of more than 16TB.
