[QUOTE="Dr Forinor, post: 1289077, member: 156724"] I've read up a little more after posting yesterday. I think I have a slightly better understanding of what I want to achieve. So if we ignore what my initial questions were, I'll post my thoughts down below. I can easily fill a 2Tb with family stuff alone (I do family videos - meaning edits of whole holidays, on top of the casual video recording and taking pictures). I already have almost 7Tb (of total collection, family, media etc) of stuff which didn't take me terribly long to accumulate. ------------- So to add to that I've already received the 16Tb (WD Red Pro - yes perhaps overkill, but I am in the position to get something robust and I always prefer to do that if I am able to) that I ordered last week prior to posting here. I will order another 16Tb to allow RAID, don't want to lose my stuff. Plan; - Retain my current HTPC, new SSD going in, will get Windows 10 back up on it and MP1 set up and configured. Revised question; - What is the best solution for organising the 2x 16Tb drives to allow me to access those files from the HTPC, but also streamable to devices? Still a NAS? Or something else? I do not have space inside of the HTPC case to accomodate those 2x 16Tb drives, so they will have to be externally stored. Any thoughts on this? Thank you for your help so far. [/QUOTE]
