Hi all I'm looking for your opinions on my current situation and impending upgrade possibilities.
I currently have a 3tb usb external hard drive attached to a laptop I leave on most of the time streaming content to a Rasperry Pi running Raspbmc. The setup works perfectly but the hard drive is soon to be full.
So do I buy a second hard drive of similar size and do the same thing, get a bigger hard dive and transfer everything to that or maybe buy a NAS. I'm sure I'll be able to figure out transferring watched statuses etc once I've decided on and got the setup running.
Another option would be to plug the hard drive into the Pi and have the laptop acess it over the network rather than the other way around.
What would you do?
