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

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

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

    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.

    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 with Jellyfin 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 ZFS RAID z1. No complaints yet.

    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.

    My soon to be homeserver will have an astonishing 4TB of space. The CPU can handle up to 15TB (according to official specifications), 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)
