If you need to access the older original files from the camera you could consider a small 8 bay server like a QNAP TS-831X. Then add in as many drives and the largest you can budget, like 8 x 8tb or 8 x 10tb. Then run a RAID 5 or RAID 6 to help keep the info intact in the event of drive failure. The server should also be checking the disks for corruption.
I have a server for that purpose as an archive because clients may ask for changes to a commercial later on.
I use a custom built Windows machine with 2x 10tb Seagate drives in parity (storage spaces pool) for projects in progress then offload the original files to an 8 bay server.
If the files are very important then the whole archive can be backed up offline to additional drives or Amazon's S3 with the built in QNAP tools.
