DAS? - Enquiries - 02-28-2020
There doesn't seem to be a lot of information out there on Direct Attached Storage solutions. I have tons of 4k video piling up (well over 10 TB and counting - recording the girls's softball games) on external hard drives and would like to put them all in one place. But, it's just me and I have no need for a networked attached device. Something like the Syba 5 bay enclosure looks interesting, but I don't see a lot of information about it. The buffalo drivestations looked intriguing as well, but it doesn't appear to have a diskless option and they appear to ship with no bigger than 4TB internal drives.
Any recomendations?
Thanks,

If you do not want to share any of this multimedia or access it remotely then the DAS solution indeed would suit you better. Buffalo, Areca and Promise Pegasus make hardware RAID-based DAS boxes. This improves the speeds when transferring files. Alternatively, you can consider TerraMaster budget models. They are cheap and seem to do the job too.I hope this helps.
