This I think has a little merit since we have had a couple of posts about size of game installs and such like over the last few days here, that I was wondering what sort of thing any one looks for when buying storage.
I'm in a similar boat as I'd like to replace my NAS (Synology or XPEnology) storage with something else (bigger mostly) but I'm just curious what ever one does when it comes to upgrading the storage they have...
I would normally look at buying the biggest drive I could at the best price to Gb ratio, so if an 8Tb drive was best priced/size, I'd go for that.. In a way though I do wonder if I should ignore that and just buy the biggest drives I can (but that's going to be very expensive....) Currently I've 6 4Tb drives in my NAS system, with a load of 4k rips I need to find a home for (at the moment spread across shall I say, more than a few 500Gb drives) I'd like to get them all in one place..
So, I was curious and hoping for other opinions on it
For clarification, when I mean storage I mean spinning drives mainly but again SSDs can also be included in this if that's all you use
