   Damn. The difference between a shitty consumer HDD and a server grade HDD is pretty damn big. :chino_wow:

     @fluffy I had a bunch of random old HDD's to build my first NAS with but bought an Exos X16 as parity disk just in case one would shit itself.
     
     Didn't though it made that much of a difference. The only downside is that the thing is pretty noisy compared to the others.

     The only kind I buy, worth the money, and they last longer, too.

     Oh yeah, they get loud.

     Good vibration isolating mounts and heavy airflow are a must.

     SAS drives can do double the throughput of anything SATA and you can get SAS RAID cards stupid cheap, but the boot times are ridiculous.

     I moved my SAS drives to a second box because of that.

     @fluffy I got this case. Mostly because its the *only* fucking case on the market for microATX boards. Every NAS case is either full ATX or mini ITX these days for some retarded reason.
     
     I have 4 drives now. The plan is to replace the three old shitty ones with 10 TB Exos drives one by one when i have dosh to spare.
     Once i'll need more i'll grab an LSI SAS2008 HBI card. Until than the 4 SATA ports on the mobo will have to do.
     
     Being able to mix drives is pretty much the reason i went with Unraid instead of TrueNAS.

     @fluffy Yeah the X series are the Helium ones.
     
     I don't understand why people still fall for the Ironwolf/WD Red "NAS drive" scam when you can get enterprise grade drives with double the MTTF for almost half the price.

     If you're looking at 10 TB drives, go for the helium drives.

     It'll be quieter and you can get them cheap.

     Need is a strong word.

     I just love doing it, it's like my… nerd intellectual fetish… thing.

     I've always loved making massive drive arrays and filling them with… I mean, you know what I'm filling them with.

     I wish I had the money to burn so I could get those juicy—twenty-four… yeah, that's the largest right now—twenty-four terabyte SAS drives.

     Ooh yeah, a couple dozen of those… and yeah, it's RAID 6 or ZFS with dual parity or you might as well run striped.

     Hell, anything important I honestly just suggest putting into a single NVMe with incremental backups and the good ol' 3-2-1 tiered backup solution.

     @fluffy @BlinkRape @Tamamo why do you even need that much data? It's just going to get destroyed

     @fluffy @BlinkRape @Tamamo spinning disk drives are so large now that if they are raided above 1 they cannot be drained in the event of a failure without causing a cascade
