  I see you calculated the gst price, nice touch. If you're looking for more HDD deals the folks over at reddit.com/r/datahoarder are always scoping out the best deals, here's a 14TB WD Elements, works out at $492 landed https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07YD3G568

    I was thinking about converting an old PC into a NAS using something like FreeNas but considering the costs of drives, something like this work out to be a better deal, especially if it's just for archiving. I have the 12tb version of the WD Elements and it has been great, no issues so may pick up this 14tb as well. Cheers for the link.

      Some of the external USB drives have a network port so you can plug them directly into your router, otherwise some routers have a usb port for adding network attached storage.

        I'm ok with direct attached storage via USB, I was just thinking of doing a DIY NAS as I just have this old PC sitting there and figure it might as well be put to some use.

          @Guy from Canada: Might wanna consider how much it would cost in terms of electricity to run 24/7 as it's an old PC. Rather plug it in a router or maybe buy a Raspberry PI and run NAS from it.

      The Fritzbox routers which 2degrees gives to customers have a usb port on them and built-in media server functionality. So you can get one of those secondhand pretty cheap as there's so many around, plug an external hdd into the usb, and bam you have a NAS.
      As a side note if you look at buying a NAS, the WD My Book Live external hdd's have some severe security vulnerabilities, something to bear in mind if you're considering buying an NAS.

        I think I'd would just stick with a dumb external hard drive unit like the Elements line as I don't need any could connectivity.
