Guest /u/tw1stedpair Posted November 20, 2024 Posted November 20, 2024 I'm planning on setting up a home server of sorts that will automatically backup the two Macs in my household as well as keep an offline copy of me and my wife's iCloud Photo Library. The goal is to have a Mac mini connected to two separate external hard drives. One for media storage (think Plex server) and a multi-bay external drive enclosure for data backup. Its the latter that I'm looking for recommendations on. I'd like a 2 or 4 bay enclosure that I can expand and it would obviously need to be reliable and compatible with the Mac mini. Initially I'll probably start with 8 or 12 TB of storage, and move up as required. It should have a USB-C connection, but doesn't have to be Thunderbolt. The enclosure doesn't necessarily have to support RAID, as I plan to back up that enclosure to the cloud via Backblaze. Thanks in advance! submitted by /u/tw1stedpair [link] [comments]
