I'm running out of storgae space on my HTPC's - 2 120GB Hard Drives. I don't have any room inside my HTPC case for any more drives either.
Besides an external Hard Drive purchase, do I have any other options?
Seems like some folks have created media server type setups, with lots of Hard Drives and lots of storgae space. How would I go about doing this? Do I just purchase a bunch of Internal HD's and put them together in some kind of an external case? Won't I need a cpu and motherboard for this (Server?)
The easist option does seem to be purchasing an External Hard Drive: Maxtor has one (from newegg.com) that is 300GB and is $309.00
But if I could build some kind of a media storage unit - that could connect to my HTPC using FireWire or USB - that would be ideal.
Thanks for any and all help!
