Hey everyone,

Given how the number of SATA ports on motherboards keep dwindling, the time has come for me to seriously consider moving to an external NAS drive, but I am a little lost in what NAS system I should use, or what type of filesystem I should use.

Basically, my requirements are:

  1. At least 30TB of starting effective capacity with enough redundancy against 2 drive failures. Mostly to give me room to replace drives when one drive fail.
  2. Preferably ready made NAS enclosure.
  3. Data being able to survive and retrieved when the NAS hardware or OS fails. This is mandatory.
  4. Being able to upgrade capacity without needing to do a lengthy or complete migration would be nice.

Thanks!
