Hi, I hope someone will be best to advise me what to do with my predicament, I’m at a bit of a loss and don’t know where to look.

I currently have 7 drives connected to my windows machine. 6 internal one external

4 x HDD (1 external) 3 x SSD

I’m going to be getting a Mac mini (it’s the cheapest and best solution for me to upgrade my current set-up as all I do is edit vlogs and that will work perfectly). However I’ll need to be able to access all 3 years worth of footage from my drives. They’re already exfat so Mac compatible, but I will only have 5 usb-c (3 thunderbolt) ports available to me and I’ll need one of them for my monitor.

What would be your best advice or is there a unit I can get that would allow me to access them all easily?

Personal note: I really enjoy getting deep into the nerdy specs of this stuff but right now I’m currently on meds for depression and getting really overwhelmed looking at it all so could just do with some guidance.

Thanks in advance 🙏
