Just for fun... i (very) recently built myself a "real" NAS, to be honest, the very first one i ever own as such..
I reused some pc i had sitting inactive for some few years after i got it as a gift..
Had to put at least a nice amount of ram, harddisk and SSD space into it (mkay, for SSD, even a single 16gig sata drive would do... maybe even a usb stick in a pinch, but have it be USB3 or faster at least. ;))
So now i have a nice dashboard like this:
I first had another (more nas styled) box where i threw in 3 older 500gig sata disks to test out some few options, but to be honest, after looking at truenas and a short run of HexOS, i didn't even want to try out Unraid or others... Truenas fits the bill perfectly. ;)
No i'm not sponsored and no i don't wanna brag about what a nice big nas i have or something .. just put out a nice screenshot of something which solves any storage concerns i have for now and the forseeable future. ;)
(For the nerds: It is a dual-sata-ssd mirror for the boot-pool and a 4 sata spinning rust drive storage pool in raidz2, which means i can lose 2 of the 4 drives before i lose data. OpenZFS rocks too! ;) ;)
