[Hidden-tech] external hard drive system

[RA Cohen]

I would strongly suggest you investigate FreeNAS at https://www.freenas.org/

OR,

a small, properly configured BSD-based system with zfs storage pools 
would also be equivalent - it's just a matter of preference and possibly 
cost.

Network Advantage could help you set up these kinds of NAS 
storage-servers, either physical or virtual in the cloud.
