Just set the drives up on a computer within a raid that will solve the issue if any drives fail (no raid0). Next allow other users within your network to access the files that you'd like them to within your computer, ie. public documents. Most of these people aren't telling you anything relevant to what you actually can do with your parts without having to spend money.
If you need help doing this toss me a pm.
And please tell me how your "solution" solves his problem. How is his 4 TB HDDs going to magically increase in capacity doing what you just told him? I'd love to know how to do this as well.
Well bro, I didn't say it was a solution, I said everyone in here is feeding you garbage rather than actually providing you with an actual solution. I answered the OP's main issue, "data storage without backups" [a raid], and allow for file sharing on his home network. Maybe you shouldn't be a sarcastic idiot while making yourself look like an asshat putting words into my mouth.
For the other, he needs a minimal build, a dual core processor, a motherboard, a reliable power supply, a case (well ventilated), raid card and a linux operating system. He will also need a router capable of handling the streaming of uncompressed data (1Gbps).

Only a wizard could increase the data of a 1tb drive anymore than 1 billion bytes.
You can also turn the computer off when it isn't being used, unless you don't mind spending 5 bucks a month for it.
