Internal Drives

Start with your computer’s drive connection and physical space. Desktop hard drives need a compatible 3.5-inch bay; laptop replacements need the correct 2.5-inch bay height. For SSDs, check both the drive’s shape and the supported SATA or NVMe protocol before choosing capacity.¹¹¹²

Network Storage

Choose a NAS enclosure to share files over your network, then select supported drives for its bays. An expansion unit adds drives to a compatible NAS; check the exact server model and connection before buying. Plan usable capacity around your storage layout, and keep a separate backup.¹³
