Are you using an off the shelf NAS or a DIY? I'm looking for around that much space but the consumer/prosumer grade stuff I've seen doesn't really do what I want (full disk encryption, Linux, ability to customize and host a few applications).

I originally figured I'd just cram 5x12TB drives in a case, RAID5, with my Linux flavor of choice... Then I learned how bad RAID5 is with big disks.

I don't need mirroring or high throughput (home NAS - other device backups and local streaming) but would preferably like a little redundancy... As a treat.

Got any pointers?

Truenas or unraid

I'm using a Synology, and I love it. I have most of my self hosted servers running on it in docker containers, and I can use the Surveillance Station to locally store and view my camera setup.

I'll probably buy actual server hardware at some point, but I need to do my network build out first.

What do you think of the Asustor flashtor NAS drives which have 6-12 m2 slots...I think you can run any OS on it if their own software doesn't check all the boxes for you
