Depending on speed, age, etc. you might drop the 2TB drives into something like this:

Of course, newer, larger HDDs are pretty affordable now.
That enclosure can be purchased with no drives included and you can add your own -- OR it can be purchased with drives already installed, up to 36TB.
I bought one of these (along with two 2TB drives) nearly eight years ago to use as a RAID 1 server for my digital music library. It is still in service today. My music collection to date numbers just under 28,000 songs yet only occupies about 900 MB, so I've pressed the drive into secondary service as a backup server for various software titles for which I do not possess physical media.
