Looking to build an inexpensive DAS array. Any other good ideas for storage/connectivity?
- joshstrange 7y agoI might not be the best person to ask. I’m running 3 servers at home currently that are all desktop towers. With a 3->4 (3x5.25”->4x3.5” [0]) converter I can fit 12 drives in each tower. Across all 3 I have just over 150TB. There are some nice server chassis that can handle 20 but I’m more comfortable with tower hardware and when I hear “SAS backplate” my eyes glaze over... I’m a big fan of UnRaid for my server OS but I know it’s not as advanced as some offerings on the market. I enjoy it’s ease of use and management of VM’s/containers. I’m happy to share more if you are interested. [0] https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DGZ42SM https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DGZ42SM
