I love that the NAS does tiered storage. I am still waitibg for drive prices to drop even more before I commit to doing sometging like this. By the way, about how much do you get charged for your S3 usage each month?
Yeah drive prices are really going down, especially NVMe and SSDs. I spend around $4.5 on S3 for about 200GB. Most of my data syncs to Google Drive (you can pick which directories sync to which cloud). Google probably has the cheapest data storage options if you aren't syncing a lot of data. You can get 2TB with google drive for 13.99 a month. one.google.com/storage
But why not, for example, have a mini pc and 4 storages attached on?? I’m asking this because usually NAS storage box are very expansive. And a build NAS is way more flexível, specially for expansion such as more memory, better processor, more storages (HDD, SSD,etc)… What’s your thoughts about it? Thanks!!
I'm a programmer getting into homelab stuff, your content is great, thank you!
Synology is basically the apple of NAS. I’ll live fully on open source thank you!
By the way, yes, please show more about your home lab setup.
Better would be to buy Minisforum PC with 8c/16t AMD based machine or the 790i motherboard with 32t CPU to get some true fun.
I realize you are an expert , do you have a solution to have running email backups on Nas just as a reader resource to old mails. Thanks 👍

i setup truenas as a vm on my optiplex which has 4 sata ssd drives directly passed through via pcie
How much memory did you add for the VM you are running?
My VM has 2GB, although 1 would be fine. I upgraded my NAS from 2GB to 6GB so I can support multiple VMs and have enough for docker, plex etc.

i heard k3s lost update support since suse took over
k3s still going strong!
Do not see the point of buying one if u can make it yourself with linux way more flexible
