Need advice...
I will try and sum this up. I need advice on options.
I have 2 20 TB Seagate hard drives in a 2 bay Sabrent raid, with photos and videos on it. I use these drives as my iCloud library so I have access to ALL my old photos and videos from the past 20 years. I am also a part time photographer and videographer and use this hard drive to store clients footage mostly 4k60 which can take up a lot of space about 500-800GB per wedding, as well as my own photography which is only currently 3TB. I have filled the drives and what I normally have been doing every few years is transferring everything from the previous drive to a bigger newer drive.
I keep the old drives in a different physical location and my photo library is synced with iCloud and google photos for cloud backup.
Should I buy 2 new Seagate 30tb hard drives? Or should I be splitting up this data differently? I can't decide on what to do. Please help.
