Oh those...yeah I have a PCIe enclosure for my PS4 that I own in call of duty 4 Black Ops and I do quite well, well it's only just one contributing factor besides connection and controller plus skill. it goes USB C to USB 3 A

OK, seems I didn't make my point clear enough. Not actually looking for a Mac vs PC debate. I'd already made the decision to go with an iMac, rather than rebuild my Windows computer, and I'm now the happy owner of a shiny new iMac (I decided to go with a new machine after all).
My question was simply how are you guys expanding the storage on your Macs? @Zak - thanks for the NAS suggestion! I started looking into that and actually stumbled onto the OWC Thunderbay enclosures, which is exactly what I need, so I ordered one. I'll use that to pull my old files from my Windows computer and then reformat them for my new Mac.
Problem solved (I hope!)!
I've got the OWC TB3 dock and it's great. Can't go wrong with those. Well, apart from being bloody expensive!

Definitely take a look at the OWC!

Yeah, definitely not cheap, but the reviews all rave about how solid it is. Mine will arrive tomorrow, then I can begin the slow and not-at-all painful process of migrating everything over.... ugh
How’s the fan noise on the TB3, Geoff? I’m hoping that it’s at least quieter than my old PC, which would usually get picked up when recording vocals. I’ll probably house it in my closet anyway.

I'm using a 2019 Mac Mini i7, arguably the most likely to suffer with noise issues. I don't notice anything whilst tracking (in fact it's completely silent under normal use), sometimes emitting a faint whoosh using lots of VST's (although I haven't pushed it in this respect yet) but does whoosh a bit when rendering a 1080p video from a 4k source using FCPX.
I can't imagine you'll run into any issues under relatively normal use.
