VNC Connect offers the speed of direct connections, as well as portal-based management for only a few bucks per computer. It's not dead easy to set up, but it offers the broadest native operating system support in the industry.

Seagate IronWolf 110 2.5-inch SSD: Up to 4TB of NAS storage designed to last, but a lot of cash
Seagate's IronWolf 110 SSD is designed for NAS, but can also be used in PCs. Thanks to very good performance, a high durability rating, and surprisingly low premium, you might just want to do that. Being available in capacities up to 3.82 TB doesn't hurt either.
