How should i store/backup my photos?

As all of you can imagine i have a lot of RAW and edited data. Until now i could manage my photos simply by using a few HDDs and SSDs, but as i want to start selling my work i just NEED a good system. However i dont see a reason why i should buy a NAS, because i dont need access from anywhere else, only from my desk. But i happen to mainly edit of my MacBook and then manage everything from my PC, so i cant just have infinite HDDs in my pc, as i need to access them from both computers. So after a long search i found the perfect product: Lexar Workflow Pro. But unfortunately i am not rich enough to spent 2500€ on a single 4TB SSD.

So my question is what kind of system would you recommend for this scenario. Keep in mind that i need at least 1 SSD to work of, the rest can be HDDs. (but if that mix is not possible i could also temp. copy them onto the Mac until i finished my edits).

Best System (DAS) for saving/backing up Data

Hi, i am a photographer and naturally i have a huge amount of RAW and edited data that i need to save/back up. Until now i could manage my photos simply by using a few HDDs and SSDs, but as i want to start selling my work i just NEED a good system. However i dont see a reason why i should buy a NAS, because i dont need access from anywhere else, only from my desk.

So after a long search i found the perfect product: Lexar Workflow Pro. But unfortunately i am not rich enough to spent 2500€ on a single 4TB SSD.
