Very informative thanks!

Seems like seagate 4-8tb is the sweet spot. Is there any difference in the models of the segate drives? Or just the iron wolf NAS are the better choice?

Also, currently can fund all ssds for primary and I'm not that interested in read speeds. I'm more interested in a safe space for files to get stored in without fear of loss.

I have a old tell server tower, running truenas scale. Once I get a pcie sata card I will set up with raid5.

And zfs is just a backup of the raid, like a sync?

And then I think my move would be to get 6 Seagate drives lol

or when you speed type something and it just opens edge and searches bing for the app you tried to open

Stuff like this shows you who is just there to sell your data, and not sell you an experience.

😂😭

Interesting, thanks. If you no expert, the I'm a newbie lol.

I will try a sata card and raiding them through software. What would you recommend for 6x4tb ? I know there are raids and mirrors, I was thinking like raid 5 but still unsure. I also have a icydock for 2.5 in drives that I can raid separately with ssds when I have the funds.

What is your experience with raids and safest bet on old hardware, if running 24/7 with important data?

I DMd you

So, it's better if I get a normal pcie to sata card and connect them individually. Then just raid them through software.

Also, what are your thoughts on second hand drives, and just monitoring them and replacing them as needed. (im currently saving up for good new 4tb x 6 drives lol)

wow, that's inspiring.

I agree that it is a balancing act that one must master. But when one doesn't yet have their footing in something, it feels like that initial workload is greater then the balance that comes in upholding the hustle in the future.

Just some thoughts from experience, maybe my weakness is thinking this way. Excuses are a coping mechanism that I'm trying to cut out of my life rn.

wait until you try to start a business on top

the easiest part would then be to cut everything off, maybe everyone off too

I got an old server and it has a hardware raid card on it. I installed trueNAS on it. Shows 18tb raid right away (24tb 4tbx6). And it does not help that I'm new to this stuff.

Is hardware raid any good for truNAS? should I just get a pcie to sata and connect drives individually?

Of course he gets the job, he is probably smarter than the whole team at MS.

So you are saying it overheats to 100C after 8 min of use and then starts to produce steam?

ikr, i feel like i missed the drama

and at night, when you realise their high beams were off the whole time... the hard way

they get fired

He probably practised his whole life for this moment, I bet he has other lines too

Yeah, and not to mention the deals on older hardware , it's like Christmas every day! Lol

Do it, got my parents on mint and I daily mint. Other than the occasional trouble shooting, and command prompt work that I do for them when needed, they have been loving it.

And of course pixels for the whole family, as always ;)

Gotta throw out all the old pc's. We need win11 in our lives ❤
