I would haunt eBay for an old file bay, such as an HP Proliant or a NetApp, then get an HBA card, and hope there is a spot in my house that isn’t going to be bothered by the noise. There’s a seller called theartofserver on eBay that repurposes old enterprise grade stuff for self hosting use, and I got a card that connected a NetApp file bay to my old 4th gen gaming rig, and that’s where all my files live now.
I’ve lost a few drives over the years, but no files.

Haha crazy to randomly come across that name on Lemmy. I bought a bunch of the parts for my NAS/Proxmox server from that seller a couple years ago.
Me too! Are you me? Oh no, I’ve finally lost it… I’m talking to myself.
Wait… New answer! I’d give them to the first guy who replied to me on Lemmy! He would be very appreciative.
Would he‽
Yup! Definitely.
Wait, am I that guy?
