Haha. I hear you. I can hardly even view my 4k video files let alone process/edit them. Forget about it. For years, I had a shiny new HP media server with four hard drives. Microsoft stopped supporting windows media server and the thing just died. I almost lost it all. Now it's just collecting dust. I saw some usb 3.0 external hard drive docking stations. Have you tried that? I think that might be my next move.
