I got a ton of Windows ISO’s which take up a huge portion of my ssd. Where could I store them? Ideally, I’d like a good amount of space free, but anything cheap could work too

I personally have had good luck with NOS drives from eBay. Not going to spam the seller here and it’s possible that I’ve just received wiped drives that went through a SMART reset. But they show zero signs of physical wear, even inside the screw holes.
My budget allows for new now so I no longer have to rely on discount NOS. But it’s an option for someone on an extreme budget.
You can throw them in an off-the-shelf NAS, or build your own using something like Unraid or TrueNAS. I use TrueNAS and it works great for me but the learning curve may be steep for some. Both TrueNAS and Unraid work well on old hardware so if you’ve got that old first-gen i3 from 15 years ago, it will be more than enough horsepower to run the NAS.
