My NAS setup currently.

8 8TB drives (the NAS is like 6 years old) in RaidZ2.

Edit: The scribbled spot is a SSD that had the barcodes visible. The SSD is a 1TB drive for VM installs and other stuff that isnā€™t deep storage.

Edit2: The SSD isnā€™t anchored because it has no moving parts and it was placed like that for testingā€¦ 4 months agoā€¦ Itā€™s just temporary I swear!

Edit3: For those curious the case is a Darkrock Classic Storage Master

    Mine didnā€™t start like this, mine initially had only 3 drives and was run in RAIDZ1.

    It was a couple years before I got to 8.

    NGL though I kinda wish I lived with 3 for longer and went with bigger drives when I upgraded, but Iā€™m happy with my ~42TB of space and 2 redundant disks.
