Hey folks,

I have 2 TB of movies, TV shows and few personal snaps.
Movies and TV shows are all downloaded from internet and i dont like to delete them.
I have them stored in 4 internal HDDs.

I need to have a way to

  • Store all these media content properly and back it properly.
  • Easily access these content through Wifi using Smartphones and Laptops and if possible through my TV also.
  • I have few movies in DVDs also, need to store them.
  • Movies are scattered into 4 HDDs, can they be made as 1 Unit so i can access them(some kind of RAID system please suggest).
  • HDDs dont last long, how do i made sure they last really long?.

Hi [MENTION=95504]Gud_Folk[/MENTION],

My suggestion is, if you have any old desktop computer, it can be used as a media server with HDDs in enclosures for additional storage. You just have to connect with the USB ports, then share the drives on the network. For android and other gadgets to access the data, you will need to search and install some apps to connect it to the shared drives. The downside is that the desktop will have to be on 24/7 for the sharing to keep working.

Hope this information helps.

Please give me suggestions under 5k and within 10k.
The cloud solutions suggested are all on higher budgets.

I dont mind even configuring it manually.
