Massive 40TB of NAS Storage on a HP Z420 Workstation made easy!

How exactly are you meant to store your digital data in an ever modernizing world? To name just a few sources of digital data : Phone / Media Data, 1080p / 1440p Gaming / Streaming Footage, 4K Video from a Dash Cam, Home Security Cameras, DSLR Photos.
