[QUOTE="elsmandino, post: 840090, member: 111675"] Hi there, I am currently running a single PC that has got three Hard Drives in it (500GB, 1.5TB and 2TB). Said PC acts as my HTPC for watching TV in my living room (Stand alone Mediaportal setup) but also serves all the other PCs in the house with files and I save all my files to this PC as well. I have got a NSK2480 case (which can't take anymore 3.5" hard drives) and I am running out of space. As far as I can see, I have two options as to how to go from here. 1. Add a NAS to my network - probably a home built one, using an old PC and FreeNas. 2. Put my PC in a bigger case and keep adding Hard Drives to the one machine. I cannot decide on what the best approach is as there are pros and cons of each. What have you guys got as your setup and why? One other idea might be to perhaps attach a DAS to the PC instead? Thanks [/QUOTE]
