Ahoy! My internal hdds are at max with all I've been torrenting and I'm considering some type of Docking station for my desktop with several 10Tbs drives in them to allow me to store and backup my data for offline protection.

I was wondering if anyone had done any type of setup like this and if it's a reliable method for offline data storage. I'd also like it to have a RAID capability but I have software which can mirror drives to each other on startup/shutdown, etc. Also, I'd need it to have a USB-type connection for a USB SSD drive to pop-out & connect to my Smart TV for viewing.

An end goal would be to get a 3-2-1 setup but I can't find a reliable Cloud storage I'd trust with that much data except maybe Filen.

Any positive input about brands, drives, services, etc. would be most appreciated!

Thanks!

The actual answer is a better device for playback of media.
Example: If your TV is a 30" 720p 80% sRGB panel why even bother acquiring 4K HDR high bitrate remux content (except for saving later because it's very obscure).

And I suspect that either your tv lacks the decoding power or is incompatible and your media server either wasnt setup for HW transcode or improperly setup/insufficient to handle the load.
