Most definitely, BUT right now I have eight 4TB drives in my unit and eventually will have eight 10TB drives in it. Once you get used to having it (NAS) you will keep accumulating movies, pictures and if you capture home videos possibly, you will eat that space up way quicker than you think. If you enjoy blu-ray videos and keep them stored on your unit like I do, we are talking 20-25 GB per movie and higher once the higher resolution standards are more common
