This is what I did, I just snagged some cheap Rosewill case off of newegg with 12 bays, a PCIe sata card and packed the case with drives.
You can slice and dice the drives however you like. I found this guy's blog posts to be useful for running a homegrown NAS:

- roflc0ptic 6y agoOh, cool. Being routed away from ZFS is interesting. Happy to do this as simply as possible
- bsder 6y agoThe only real beef I have is this: "It seems though that the one URE in 10^14^ bits (an error every 12.5 TB of data read) is a worst-case specification. In real life, drives are way more reliable than this specification." I don't believe that statement without data backing it up. Disk drives are right at the engineering edge. There is a reason why consumer class drives have one MTBF and enterprise drives have a better MTBF. If a disk drive manufacturer could somehow cite a better MTBF, they absolutely would (see the whole GB vs GiB marketing stupidity, for example).
