I have been recording videos of various events at my college, and i have ended up with 10TB of data.
Presently i am storing it in several portable hard drives.
My query: Is there a possible solution to store them all at a single place, eg:a 10TB hard drive or something?
Please Let me Know if NAS can be used as a portable storage or not.
Any other suggestions are welcome.

thanks.

Yes it can be used. Although I don't think that I would call that a portable media. You can just buy 3*3TB + 2TB internal storage if your mobo has that much SATA ports.

NAS is not portable .. it a bit heavy and expensive. if you want cheaper alternate then build a PC and make it as a NAS storage.

Thats a lot of data and there's apparently not a single 10TB HDD.
However, you can do like what gameranand has told above.

If possible, 2 3TB Internal HDD + 2 3TB external HDD will do your req!

OP should be like some co-ordinator or something for his college.
So, its no surprise that he ended up in 10TB of data! :toast:

If you talk about videos 10GB is nothing. I am guessing that OP has mostly uncompressed videos.
