I'm not sure what you mean by more practical. You. Have a couple of options 
realistically speaking. First, you could addmore drives to your machine and 
point your server to custom folders. Rumpus is incredibly powerful in that 
regard. You do it like this:
• Prepare your drive so that it's in a format that your Mac would recognise and 
allow read/write access. Note that by default, MacOS cannot write to an NTFS 
volume, although it can read from them.
• Plug in your drive and ensure it's active.
• Set up a folder set for custom access to. That drive within Rumpus.
• Allocate your read/write permissions for the folder. Note that the 
permissions can be overridden on a per-user basis if required.
• Point your custom folder set to /Volumes/Drive/Folder/ and that's it.

So, define "More Practical", please. Feel free to take this off list if you 
require detailed configuration help.

    Hi.
    Up until recently I was quite content to use the second drive on my Mac 
mini Server machine - which runs the Rumps FTP server - for data storage but 
that was then
    The amount of data I need to store online has increased 5 fold so I’m left 
wondering about the most efficient way of handling this.
    At the moment I’m using a collection of Seagate Expansion 5TB drives 
plugged into spare USB ports, so far so good but I wonder whether there’s a 
more practical way of doing this?
