Be warned, I used to do this every year but they've caught on. You'll be told that it's not supported anymore (after the recharge) and…

I suggested cloud provider backups as it's very safe and easy but if the subscription model isnt appealing @bdl is right, an adequately…

All of them are capable of that workload, just choose according to the number of drive slots you need (factoring in redundancy). Also,…

TrueNAS is vastly superior. Unraid is a toy; flexible and fun, but nothing compared to enterprise ready solutions from iXsystems like…

Yes, that's essentially what Synology devices are designed for, as long as the drives are SATA you shouldn't have any problems. Be careful…

My understanding is that those slots are for read/write caches and cannot be used for general storage.

Jai commented on Nas Home Server
Have a dedicated NAS and virtualisation server is usually best practice and is what I'd personally opt for.

The x86 instruction set would like a word.

Exact same experience as you. 2/3 of my Ironwolf drives failed within 6 months but they replaced them, allowed me to transfer the remaining…

I got the same thing today and I'm vaccinated. Don't worry, just a shotgun approach by the gov trying to fix the current state of things.

I own 6 of these, quite good, haven't had a failure yet (touch wood) in the year I've been running them.

Witcher 3, brilliant game.

Ahh right, yeah that's a difficult requirement. None of the cases I've been looking at can fit that many 3.5" drives, sorry. Yeah, don't…

>True, all forms of "soft damage" can be reversed - if you have a backup stored elsewhere, which was my point: RAID is not a backup. And…

Yes, but as with most modern NAS systems these days, accidental file deletions, ransomware, encryption, etc. aren't very effective against…

Well, mirroring HDDs is a backup. You're making a copy. RAID5 or 6 I'd agree isn't a backup though.

You won't beat the bots. If you truly want a card sign up to an auto-buying service or wait until next year.
