how are y'all storing your raw files if you do?

I have a 1tb external drive, after I shoot a wedding i throw the raw files on that and keep for 6 months then delete and jpegs I store in the cloud

I have 2 external storage units, one NAS with 20TB and one DAS with 28TB, I keep all my photos backed up to both.

I store my raw files on a locally hosted NextCloud server and I store my edited photos on a PhotoPhrism server also locally hosted

Drobo 5C DAS (USB-C) and Synology DS920+ NAS. I think each one can support up to 64TB of storage. I had another Drobo NAS unit however the Synology was much faster especially streaming 4K movies over the home network, plus Synology's updates and app support is great.
