How big is your NAS?

JaredJBinks · Thursday at 4:45 AM

Thanks to having an old laptop that I don't use, as well as some hard drives I've taken out of some other computers, I've gotten into home servers. Right now, my NAS is 500GB, and I'm thinking that the next hard drive I get would be 2TB.

I have an old 4TB WD NAS.

I bought a 12GB HDD and just put it in my desktop, who needs a nas at home really...

4TB but I use NVME so waiting for some good deals on higher capacity ones before I upgrade. I don't hoard much data these days

Mine is a 4Tb NAS, with 2 4Tb disks running in a RAID 1 configuration

How far does that 12Gb last you?

I use half as backup and the other half as download storage. Got it end 2023 and is about 70% used. I am really bad in throwing stuff away: I clean up my data once every couple of years or I buy a larger disc if I don't have the time or don't feel like it.

ehhh... 36 TB last time I checked.

I have a 6TB NAS that I hope to upgrade a little to 10TB sooner or later.

The reason why I have it is that I use it as storage for basically all my other devices, and it's much more power efficient in getting what I want than having to start my big PC first. Its basically 5w at idle vs 220w at idle, so in my case definitely worth it.
Pretty useful to keep backups, my music, my movies, my important documents, and so forth centralized.
Also I could put it into a room where the noise doesn't matter to me, which is great.

Are you sure you bought a 12 Gigabyte drive in 2023 and not a 12 Terabyte drive?

8TB. Two bays. I'm a little disappointed in the Synology for sharing outside the network, but otherwise it's been fantastic. Most of my HDDs are used for my Plex, on a different setup than the NAS.

Same as others here, 4tb WD. I only use it to stream movies, tv shows to firesticks throughout my house using the Kodi app.

That's surprising. My DS215j has been working great outside of my network as well, though I'm the only using it and I have my router handle a DNS entry to my domain, which over all has made it a pretty reliable setup for me.

My NAS is roughly 30TB (with two parity drives), with 20TB more on the way over the weekend... I self host everything, and has my "backups" and my actual real backups of all my physical media (blus, games/saves, etc).

DiscostewSM · 2024-09-13T23:40:04+0100

2x 20TB + 2x 12TB. Both drives of the former + one of the latter make up an SHR volume (Synology Hybrid Raid) with one redundant drive, and the other is its own volume. Technically 64TB total, but is not handled as such.

Sicklyboy · 2024-09-13T23:40:34+0100

nas-101: 12x 8TB, ~73TB usable
nas-102: 14x 14TB, ~142TB usable

Hayato213 · 2024-09-14T00:01:35+0100

5x 6TB in SHR2, about 18TB of space.

Zanoab · 2024-09-14T00:16:38+0100

30TB usable across HDDs with parity and 4TB across several SSDs
