I am also working on building a new NAS, I didn’t realize it was going to be so damned expensive though…
Currently I am thinking of going for ZFS with six drives, four pure storage, one parity and one hot spare, I would also need another drive as a cold spare…
I am interested in ZFS due to it’s bitrot protection, I have already seen some of my photos affected by bitrot…
Interesting, I have to look into that, I am taking it slow, and will buy storage drives over a few months to spread the cost out, so I have time to think about it
