Hello,
I would like to have a home NAS setup with RAID 5 ( or similar ). 4-6 bay. I want the ability to do backups ( to CD/DVD ? ) no need to spawn off virtual servers unless it is helpful. what is a good CPU / Mem requirement. What is the best interface to connect to a computer. Nice and effective software/gui. Secure. reliable. available thru WiFi. Best disks. I use to be a storage SA many many years ago ( Datadomain / Sun A1000 and used Raid 5 + 1 hot spare ). This will be used to store Music/Picts/Videos/Docs ( basic stuff ). I have a new DELL XPS 8950 with 32GB mem with a Intel i9-12900. so I have good strong desktop. i want something that will be good ( or have updates available ) for at least for a few years ( min 5 ? )
I understand that disks may not last for that long ( thus thinking hot spare - or available extra disks ) what happens if you have a 4-6 bay NAS for a few years and a disk dies and the model is no longer avail?
Help
Happy New Year
