I’m building my first Linux setup and have a NAS planned out. I’m so stoked. I got a raspberry pi kit from my dad as an Xmas gift yesterday.

Did not see this coming when I built my 40TB NAS

I also used a raspberry pi (5). People here will advise against it but for me it’s been working fine so far. I can stream 4K on my local network just fine. Read/write speeds aren’t great but good enough for me. I used a Pi hat with 5x SATA ports and I have 5x 8TB HDDs in a custom 3D printed enclosure and I’m using RAID… (Forget the name, brb)

You learn a lot more than if you were to just slap an epyc in a box. Pi will reach you about encoding and balancing resources. I still use everything I learnt and some of the gear like the terra master only reason I don’t use it anymore is because I got free server stuff from work.

40TB LOL. Where we’re going, we’re gonna need more space! Back to the Space, Part IV!

My soon to be homeserver will have an astonishing 4TB of space. The CPU can handle up to 15TB, but I am lacking drives that are big enough.
If I ever get the money to build a proper NAS I will 100% start going all in on Storage and start doing stupid shit like mirroring Wikipedia. I will probably not start mirroring the entirety of Spotify (which would be kinda sick NGL.), but I kind of have the problem that I Am kind of a data hoarder that likes to store excessive amounts of stuff I will never need. In the future I will also start seeding all the music I have, but I need a VPN with port forwarding for that beforehand (I’m currently kinda broke, so won’t happen that fast)

Get to acquiring Seagate external HDDs and shucking them for 3.5" drive bays before the data centers get them

The 20TB drives I was looking at in July are up 40% :/

Pc guys haven’t had a break in like 7 years. One component or another is the hottest item for one scam or another.

Frankenstein all the way, you just have to continuously build from whatever part is cheap at the moment.
