Dear lemmings,

I am fairly new to the server-game and want to set up my first NAS. I will not only be doing a lot of reading but also quite a lot of writing as well so I guess RAID10 (even though hardware/money intensive) would be a good choice? Or should I rather go for RAID 0 with 3 2 1 backup strategy? Currently I am hosting some websites others use as well so uptime is an issue.

Now I am not sure what brand/model to buy, when reading up on it they all sound decent. I have an old PC that I can use to run the drives so I only really need to buy the drives for now. Currently I am looking at drives with a capacity of around 14TB if that is of any importance.

Many thanks in advance :D

    I have 2 x 20TB in ZFS1

    In a separate server running 6 x 20TB in dual ZFS1 mirrored pools.

    I have 2 x 18TB in a remote country being updated every 7 days for viral copies.

    I also have 14TB single cold storage drives tucked away in a pelican case in the basement.

    I’m currently using all Exos or Ultra stars.

    Next iteration will be 3 x 24TB in ZFS1 and 8 x 20TB in ZFS2.
