I have a Macbook Pro in my home office connected via firewire to an external storage drive array that has 4 drives with 6TB total storage. I want to be able to access the contents of these drives when I'm in my garage studio which has ethernet cable pulled to it.
I thought of buying a Mac Mini and putting it in my office, connecting it to the storage firewire, then sharing the drives on the local network so my macbook pro could access them.
I could also potentially get a new network-capable exteral storage device and replace my existing one?
Is there another way to accomplish what I'm try to do? What is the best/most affordable way?
Thank you!
