Hello,
I'm pondering on setting up a home NAS for dumping my long term storage on. Currently, My computer have about 20TB of local storage. Split across 8 disks. 0 redundancy and very aging drives. Some with over 100000 operational hours.
My goal is 60+ TB storage and 2 drive redundancy. Any suggestions on what hardware to use or what to get? Obviously, budget is limited. Despite that, I want it reliable and require very little maintenance and be recoverable even if hardware other than the drives fail.
Budget is $1000-$3000, obviously, lower range is preferred.
Requesting HW and SW suggestions.

Kind Regards

Or synology is also a good option.

How is these pre made nas solutions in terms of hardware failure or business closure. Eg am I locked down to only ugreen? Or can I take the drives and put into a new nas and recover the array?

It was more a question about what if the raid controller dies can I rebuild the array in another rack and keep the data?

#

Pondering on going DIY after all...

diy nas wise you'd spend about as much as a ugreen nas would cost in building one unless you can find a storage server rack and then add drives to it

#

the upside of a diy nas, is that it would be more upgradable especially in the terms of storage capacity

#

and if you want it set up with a 2 drive redundancy, you're looking at running raid6

#

though if you wanted greater redundancy, you could do raid 6 + raid 1
