My NAS setup currently.

8 8TB drives (the NAS is like 6 years old) in RaidZ2.

Edit: The scribbled spot is a SSD that had the barcodes visible. The SSD is a 1TB drive for VM installs and other stuff that isn’t deep storage.

Edit2: The SSD isn’t anchored because it has no moving parts and it was placed like that for testing… 4 months ago… It’s just temporary I swear!

Edit3: For those curious the case is a Darkrock Classic Storage Master

      Mine didn’t start like this, mine initially had only 3 drives and was run in RAIDZ1.

      It was a couple years before I got to 8.

      NGL though I kinda wish I lived with 3 for longer and went with bigger drives when I upgraded, but I’m happy with my ~42TB of space and 2 redundant disks.
