Oh I remember this guy! Michael has a nice blog where he writes interesting posts about hardware, networks and all sort of computer stuff. Sometimes I'm feeling a little bit jealous with all these "toys" he has, but he writes them in a good way (without wanting to show off). If you haven't seen it, read about when he upgraded his internet to 25 Gbit/s fiber: https://michael.stapelberg.ch/posts/2022-04-23-fiber7-25gbit-upgrade/ https://michael.stapelberg.ch/posts/2022-04-23-fiber7-25gbit...
Coming back on topic, the idea of having 3 custom made NASes is surely interesting, but apart from learning and experimenting with all these, I don't see a very big advantage from backup/security point of view compared to commecrial NASes (Synology, QNAP).
For sure we can all argue here about selection of filesystem (ZFS, btrfs, ext4...), selection of CPU, RAM type and all the others, but it all boils down to what each one wants (and has the money to spare). IMHO I wouldn't go with QVO SSDs and non redundant volumes (especially spanning 2 disks), but hey that's just me :-)
