Question Suggestions for a media drive/back-up system...

[glasswave]

I am looking for a system that makes accessing 3 or 4 drives stuffed with audio/video/image media and backing up those drives seamless and transparent. Ideally this device would hold 3 or 4 12TB to 24TB drives and have another drive bay where I could mount back up drives for the purpose of backing up each of the 4 media drives every month or two.

Can someone point me toward an economical drive bay system that would excel at such tasks? USB3? USB-c? eSata? or Gbit ethernet?

Synology or QNAP

Depends on budget. You could go Cloud if you have good enough internet, or build your own media server.
Off the shelf you are looking at a 6 bay NAS. Most are not worth the price.

Thanks for the reply. I do not want to use the cloud. I was hoping that something more economical might work.
