If there’s interest I edit the post to include the server specs.
Fractal Node 804? It’s a good choice, I went with it myself too. What are the specs?
Me too!
What do you need so much storage for? I get the feeling people tend to massively oversize their HDD array.
it appears to be just 4tb with a redundant backup. That’s not massive.
I count at least 7-8 HDDs on the second picture. If all of them are 4TB, that’s quite massive.
Speaking for myself; backups for a family of computers. I have 4 local PCs and several remote(family) pcs doing weekly backups then all that is offloaded to an external drive array each month. It’s not like it’s critical data but it’s fun to practice.
I personally backup a lot of tv and movies. I prefer using fewer large drives, e.g. 14TB WD Reds
@gvasco There is interest in the specs!
I have recently assembled a smaller array (not a data hoarder myself) as a home NAS in a mini itx case and a low power SoC. I have 2x 4TB WD Reds as hot storage and 1x 18TB Toshiba as cold storage, 1x 500GB nvme drive for applications and 128GB os/boot ssd with truenas.
Bad pic attached.Is that an Optane 900P I see tucked in there?
What do you use it for? That should be the biggest factor in determining the specs, no?
