I have a 3.5 Sata drive on the way and would like to use it as an external drive for 4k films. Are there caddies out there that would allow this?

Amazon has a few listings of external enclosures if you want to check there

My previous Plex server was tha size and near enough full and that was with 720 stuff, storage fills fast and if I was going down the 4k route I would want way way way more than that.

I would also have a look at making a low powered PC to do it, you can pick up a cheap mobo cpu bundle and a case with a load of drive bays and make your own using something like FreeNAS as the OS for it. Gives you all the features and more of a NAS enclosure but can be cheaper and more expandable.

Where’d you buy it/how much was it for 12TB? I’ve got an 8TB one that’s about half full but I think it’d be worth setting something up as a backup drive otherwise that’s my entire media collection gone!

It's Rubix. 12TB is less than 2% of his porn collection.

1 drive of that size seems like a bad idea too, there is no way in hell you'll get the data off if it starts to fail, it would be better to have 5 x 3tb disks in RAID5 or Windows Storage Spaces as then there is redundancy and a performance boost, one drive with that much stuff is an epic way to loose everything quick in a drive failure.

All the classics

So these casings will hold a 12TB? Some say max 2TB or 6

Those won't you need one that has a controller capable of reading a 12tb disk.
