Yes

my main point - many of us have already many stuff or dont even 70% of service - just even know/use it - it can serve perfect backup or main as image/video library

I don’t like to have all my private data on other servers.

In the future I will try the LTO (magnetic band) to arhive my stuff.

yeah COST+PURPOSE+important will help decide which to pick SSD/ NVMe

e,g, recently picked 40gb nvme sticks as "dirt price" since 1TB 2TB new ones coming factory need dispose old ones fast.

I use only hdd 12 TB each bay for storing . SSD are crap for that

And of course, I’m not paying Apple cloud , music , or Netflix and other platforms -> all my πŸ’° is going to BTC instead

I was just looking into synologys.

This one with the 5 bay or 923+ with 4 bays.

would love to know if the noise is silent/bearable/loud with this badboy 5 bay.

The synology itself is silent. The noise will depend on the drives you get.

Decide how much storage you want first. Take that number and double it. That's how much you should prob get cause it goes much faster than you'd expect. That'll dictate what size drives you need. Decide how many bays you need considering the noise you can tolerate. Generally bigger drives gonna be much louder under load.

I was thinking of going with the stock synology HDD drives.

Thanks for the input!

sure good idea - also check specs of interface SATA3 etc - so u can easily expand disk by disk

I'm in the same boat, but i'm trying to work out the drive speed, do we really need 7200 or is 5400 good enough? looking at the WD Red

5400 n 7200 good watching streaming video in LAN / storing movies

it is just an idea - anyone choose any brand or even unbranded - cheap/expensive all upto DIYer choose/decide - end how fast depends no many factors

also

Piwigo - image library (bit hard to setup)

Gerbera - streaming (supereasy)
