So long story short: I‘ve got a lot of missmatched harddrives and an old PC which I would like to turn in to a Nas.

There are like 7 different drives with all different capacities and manufacturers and speeds. They range from 320gb 2.5 hdds to 4tb baracudas but there aren‘t any doubles With all drives there would be about 12tb of storage.

The PC has an i5 3570k and 8gb ram.

I would like to know if it is worth it to try out building my own NAS with that hardware bc financially i’m not able to build a proper nas right now. my main PC already got 10tb of bulck storage and I think a nas would be more convenient.

The Data isn’t very sensitive so I don’t really need any high redundancy but some would still be great.

What is your advice on my situation?
