Assuming you have unlimited power and noise tolerance
I would start with a used dell 720xd for $350 and then fill it up with drives. If you need more add jbods
How fast is fast? SSD fast? 7200RPM HDD fast? Whats your use case? You (generally) get to pick two.
- Massive amounts of Storage
- Fast storage
- Reasonable Budget

Okay lets say you go the prosumer approach:
1x QNAP QuTS hero TS-h973AX-32G ~ 1300€ each
2x Samsung OEM Datacenter SSD PM9A3 15.36TB, U.2 ~ 1400€ each
3x Toshiba Cloud-Scale Capacity MG10ACA 20TB, SATA 6Gb/s ~ 300€ each
Right at 5k and you get 15TB NVME RAID1 (mirror) and 40TB HDD RAID5 (parity). Without mirror/parity it is 30TB NVME and 60TB HDD raw space.
