They are fit and forget things to be honest.once set up, I very rarely need to go up there. I am confused between warranty, longevity, bang for buck and speed of various custom configured enclosure+nvme/sata/m.2 ssd.Ĭlick to expand.My NAS drive is connected via gigabit ethernet to a 24 port gigabit switch in my home network.and the NAS, the switch, along with a bunch of other networking stuff (2 x Rpi 4, Philips Hue bridge, Tado heating bridge, Ubiquiti cloud key).these are all in the attic of my house.access via a loft hatch in a bedroom and climb a set of ladders to get to them. Replicating the quality/speed of internal storage as minimally as possible till my budget permits. Replicating the quality/speed of internal storage till my budget permits.

My ONLY goal is to make it so, that it feels like I have 1 or 2TB of storage, not just meagre 256GB. Also getting the proper ssd and an enclosure for it to get T7 level 1GBps speed seemed a bit complicated. What type of storage should I buy? I'm looking at Samsung T7 2TB / 1TB but not sure if that SSD, or any SSD for that matter is an overkill. I'll store random files, 4k movies, music, documents, maybe games etc - my typical use. I need a large storage device for casual use that is QUIET and will be connected to the back of the computer at all times. My 3TB HDD sounds like a jet engine when powered on, and hangs up Finder when waking up from sleep, it's very annoying. It's been 6 days and already I've got a warning ' storage almost full'.
