Secure Storage That Won't Die With my Server (lemmy.world)

I have a

Beelink Ser5 Pro Mini PC, AMD Ryzen 7 5850U(8C/16T, Up to 4.4GHz), 32GB DDR4 RAM 1TB PCIe3.0 x4 SSD Running Spiral Linux (Debian w/ BTRFS Snapshots in GRUB and some other optimizations)

I've been using it as a server with mostly docker containers, rarely taxing it's abilities in any meaningful way. It's a playground that also runs a few serious/useful apps. Storage is largely on my Synology NAS.

My question is this. I hesitate to store data on the minipc as I seem to be ending up with a broken system fairly frequently when upgrading. NAS seem to be more expensive now and I want to add more storage for Tube Archivist. Are there DAS, Raid Enclosures, USB3 disk enclosures that I can plug in that will manage the disks and such, but don't pose a challenge to remount if I destroy and reimage the MiniPC?

Keep your Nas separate from your services. Minis forums has some nice m.2 Nas hardware if you want to roll your own Nas. Used Epyc servers are also really nice for m.2 Nas, since they have so many pcie lanes.
