Hi ya’ll, I hope I can post this here!
We run a 200+ tb file server at the office which currently stores 50tb in total. The system is build in a large case for this exact purpose.
We have a video production agency and we work with large projects and files. So we fill around 1tb up to 10tb in some rare cases per month.
We don’t have a backup solution on another location however. I still want to get one up and running at home. Both for safety purposes and for work at home/homelab usage.
The backing up will not be a problem and something I’ll do manually since both my internet at home and at work aren’t fast enough to transfer a terabyte or more per pop.
My problem however, is that I don’t have a large apartment and I don’t want this huge rack/case in my living room. I also don’t expect to fill the fileserver at work anytime soon. So I’m looking for something a bit smaller.
Does anyone have good ideas/experience with something like this? I never worked with off the shelve nas solutions and I wasn’t a big fan of expansion bays in the past (We got a nice to get rid of all those ssd’s and hdd’s and I didn’t want to replace those with basically another standalone product). I’d like to take this opportunity to get some extra storage at home as well if I can and if I can do that safely.
I hope to fill it with at least 100tb, hope for 200tb although this may be unpractical for size purposes.
10GB ethernet is a must, both for the first time when copying the data from the mother system and for video editing work at home.
