external storage solutions for laptop?

[Raging]

Hey

well iv'e switched to a laptop and am now looking at options of hooking up my 3.5" hdd's to it but not sure what is best really.

looking for most cost effective+performance+reliability.

nas?,multiple drive enclosure? or just buy a huge external drive and slap everything onto it? lol

what other options are there?

ideally im looking to house about 3-4 sata drives.

cheers.

I just have a NAS server setup, raid'ed harddrives, backs up all the pcs in the house.

It depends on how much you want to spend and if you want something simple or complex.

NAS server for the person who likes to spend money and isn't bothered with complexity.

Buy a huge external hard drive and slap everything onto it to make your life easier and it's cheaper.

But if you have external media players (PS3, X360 and anything else that can use a networked storage) then I would choose the NAS server option.

thanks for the replies,looks like its either nas or big external drive then..

btw,anyone know where i could download some laptop schematics free? i could use one for a rock ctx/clevo m57u chassis.

cheers.
