I don’t have a technical issue at the moment… financial one 🤣
I store my data on an OLD my book Live 3TB HDD. Runs fine but it’s getting full now, and the day it decides to shut down I don’t have any backups.
So I want to buy at least a 2 bays RAID1 array.
I’ll plug it on my server directly, and that would become my NAS.
Maybe two 6TB drives, so I’ll double my existing storage?

Horror story, stranger. Oh no!
If this is stuff that you can’t afford to lose like family pictures, music library, or 90’s memes or something, I’ve had decent luck with iDrive for my offsite backups. 4TB relatively cheap, works with Linux (using some Perl scripts they made), and you can define your own encryption keys so not even they can see your stuff.
They’ve usually got a crazy cheap deal to start with on their homepage or if you look around, for the first year. So maybe that could be helpful until you get some other storage. :)
(I think we pay $100 a year now for 4TB)
