I'm planning a nas rebuild, and I'm 100% going for that jonsbo n5 when it comes out. I believe it has a 12 drive capacity and I'm planning to start with 8 12TB drives.
My current board is a MSI PRO B660M-A WIFI DDR4 LGA 1700. I was thinking I'd just find another lga 1700 board, but nothing seems to be available with more than 8 SATA ports.
How exactly are all of you running so many drives? If there's more than one way, whats the most braindead simple way to do it?
Also, what do you guys do for RAID in your systems? I'm currently running a Raid5 but I found out after the fact that apparently some people explicitly recommend against this? After all the tinkering I did on my last build I just want my next one to be as idiot proof as possible, so it'll just be running normal windows. I'd like to maybe do double parity and ability to add more drives after the fact, so maybe raid 6, but idk, curious to see what others do.
