Yes a NAS is the best, a synology 4 bay if you can afford it. Otherwise ive had good results with Netgear ReadyNAS 4 bay. At least you have the drives already which saves some signficant cost... although you will need somewhere to transfer your files to while you build the NAS up, since it will wipe the drives as you add them to the NAS, so you might have to get 1 more 3TB drive to give you some spare capacity while you juggle things around. If you run 4x 3TB drives in RAID5 you will have a 8-9TB NAS with some fault tolerance
