Comment on Looking for recommendations for a multi home NAS solution
Onomatopoeia@lemmy.cafe 3 days agoLook for the mini pc’s that can hold a single (large capacity) drive.
Since you’re going to be replicating (and I assume actual backups), you don’t need multi-drive systems at each location unless you need more than about 12TB of storage.

I def need a massive drive just for me lol. I have multiple drives loaded full of files including an 8TB drive.

Sounds like me.
I have lots of stuff.
My media files get replicated to my friends and family - that serves as “backup” for media, since it doesn’t change the multiple copies works as backup. That’s about 3TB.
My other files (software, user data, phone files, etc) are in a proper backup process which is replicated to those other devices. Backup is compressed, and there’s a lot of duplicate files so it really works.
My total storage use is about 5TB, with perhaps 1TB changing in a given month.
