  • I can fully relate. Don’t go cheap and keep it cool. For the last few years I used a JBOD enclosure for 3.5in disks with four 2.5in SSDs, I removed the cover and had no needs for fans. Super quiet, and the only viable way to get 4x4Gb added to my laptop-server.

    Now I moved to a mid size desktop pc-server, and relocated the four ssds inside the case on sata cables. Cabt really see the speed difference for the workload of the server.

    I don’t mean there is no speed difference (before somebody freaks out), but that is not noticeable because I only access the data via network for all my use cases.

    I have three tiers of backup. Never heard or the 3,2,1 rule?

    3 backups 2 locations 1 offsite

    I backup one time on an external disk connected to the server. A second time to another disk, connected on an OpenWRT router located in the patio. A third copy is uploaded to my VPS in the cloud.

    not all three are symmetrical due to disk sizes. But critical data is always backed up on all three. Daily backups.

    Restic do deduplication and encryption too, so actual data usage is really minimal and all is kept safe.
