Additional Media Drive on 3P2

We have a 3P2 that we use for sports production. Each year we televise a college basketball tournament, covering 14 games in 4 days. Our machine doesn't have enough storage for that many games and we end having to delete media that we'd like to save.

My question is: What's involved in adding an additional drive(s) to our 3P2?

I haven't found much info on this subject, but I can't imagine we're the only ones who would like to expand out storage capabilities.

Thanks in advance for any info provided.
 
The 3P2 systems have a RAID set of SSD drives. As I understand, all of the SATA interfaces are used for these drives, so I'm not sure there is anything available to add more. No external USB3 solution is going to be fast enough for replay operation. I've tried using a NAS (Vizrt Network Remote Storage) with 3Play, and while it works, it is a bit more sluggish shuttling thru media than the internal drives on the system.
