Storage Options in the Current HDD Shortage
So we planned on buying a UGREEN NAS awhile back and figured out everything we needed and then just didn't end up making the purchase.
We have a NAS now with a capacity of 100TB and it's basically full.
We found out yesterday that we're going to lose access to it because of some complicated new ownership I won't go into. Basically we can take the files but we're losing the NAS. So we're back to needing to buy a new one.
So I pulled up the info one the one we were going to buy awhile back with the intention of just buying more hard drives this time. But wait! Now there's a huge HDD shortage I didn't know about. Not only is everything way more expensive than it was just over a month ago when I checked, but I can't even find the ability to purchase the 32TB Ironwolf Pros we would need to maximize the 4-Bay NAS we were going to buy.
I'm wondering what my option are? We have about 100TB we need to transfer, could maybe get away with less for now and just purge some stuff due to the situation. But I'm not very well versed in how the NAS stuff works anyway, and we have a ton of footage, assets, and projects that need moved over to something within the next month.
