I'm into Videography and Photography and my 2TB external USB3 drive has reached the limits of its capacity and I want to seperate my Photo/Video stuff (Including all my project files for the photo/video editing programs etc.) to something bigger and maybe more secure.
I looked into NAS (right now I dont work over the network, and I dont plan to) and other stuff.
Is there some sort of external device that needs not its own OS to run on that turns any HDD I insert into an external drive via USB3 and also has several ports to maybe use it as a RAID array?

I'm wanting to build a PC and... people don't put optical drives in PCs anymore? Because I would like one, but every guide I look at neglects mentioning it, all cases I see don't seem to have space for one... are external optical drives worth it price-wise?

i7-8086K is the new best gaming CPU. Too bad it's an anniversary version and only 50000 will be made.

No. What makes you think it would be? Especially when you can get an RX580 8GB for just $25 more.
>I've been waiting like 2 months to build a new PC and I'm still hung up on graphics cards
Should have been checking prices everyday, or set up alerts. There's been RX580s and 570s in the $200-$260 range the past few weeks. But the past week the prices went up again.
6GB is fine, yes.
>Can you rephrase that?
SSD is a minimum requirement for a lot of games now days, sadly. You can load too slow and just get kicked from the server with a HDD.
You don't have to get a higher end one like WD Blue, MX500, SU900, but you at least need one that's not complete shit.
Any semi modular or fully modular. Non-modular is not worth the hassle.
Nitro+, Red Devil, Strix. Gaming X is fine, too.
Those Armor Mk2 look like a big improvement over the original Armor as long as they're cheap.
>Although gtx [1060] is a better buy
How? It'll take decades of use to spend more on electricity with the RX580 than Gsync costs.
>several ports to maybe use it as a RAID array
I don't know what this means.
Why do you want one? I haven't used one in almost a decade. USB thumb drives are a thing. There are still cases with slim optical drive mounts and stuff. I'd still avoid the typical 5.25" bays as they make for inefficient case layouts.

Every game and most mediums (audio, video...) are dematerialized anyway, Windows licences are USB and BluRay is a fucking scam on PC. Generally you keep an optical drive only for backwards compatibility purposes, like dumping your old music collection.
>all cases I see don't seem to have space for one
Then your search isn't throughout enough.

I don't use it anymore but the Enthoo Pro M or the Focus G has space for them
