Reddit take

Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.

Pros

  • You can get a 6-bay Synology NAS for about €1000. I think the 12TB you've found €155 is probably recertified - you can get 16TB brand new for €300, so let's say 5 of those in RAID 6 is 48TB for €1500.
  • A Synology NAS with two drives in a mirrored configuration gives me peace of mind.
  • added 4 Raspberry Pis (**1× Pi 5, 3× Pi 4**), a Cable Matters 24-port patch panel, CyberPower switched PDU and UPS, a 2-bay Synology NAS, and lastly I added a little Bitaxe Gamma just for fun.
  • I use them with my Synology NAS, but they also make affordable standalone NVRs.
  • I was thinking of getting a 4-bay Synology NAS with 3-4 20 TB drives.

Cons

  • I have a Synology NAS but it's a DS solution I bought when we started the company so it's starting to not suit our needs.
  • I want a dirt cheap NAS with 2-4 drive bays as a backup to my primary Synology NAS.
  • and I've got a synology NAS on the bottom next to the ups.
  • I did also try Synology NAS with a couple 16 TB drives but it went bonkers.

I built a 90 TB raid 05 with an 8-bay synology NAS and 8 14TB WD white drives. I shucked the drives and so far so good for about 5 years now.
