A couple of people started to recommend network-attached devices.
I would be careful with this. Those devices often utilize an ancient embedded Linux or Windows, with lots of proprietary daemons of questionable quality ("features before security!") exposed to the network.
There are tons of CVEs and vulnerabilities for those devices.
If you consider such a device, at least do a vulnerability search about it first.
If you are paranoid, connect it through a dedicated NIC and non-routed local network to your computer.
For a single user I very much prefer a locally attached USB device than introducing such a risk into a network.
YMMV.
