I've been thinking of getting a NAS, but don't know if the cost is worth it in the end.
The monetary cost can be near-zero, you can just use an old PC (like 10 yrs old even). The storage will likely be limited in that case but you can then get a 10+ TB HDD for like 100 bucks
Yeah this is a great wait to get started. My use case has ballooned, so my storage needs are much more.
Unfortunately, I don't have an old PC lying around, if I did it would've definitely been repurposed for something already.
I think it’s worth it just for the sake of having my own storage that isn’t relying on Google, Dropbox, etc… However it can be a bit of a upfront money sink buying all the drives. For example, I have 5x8TB drives in raid6 (~24TB usable) currently and am running out of space. Upgrading them all to 20TB (60TB usable) is gonna cost me $1500-2000.
I self-host Nextcloud, Plex, Jellyfin, and a bunch of other things that leverage my local storage. So for me it’s a bit of a hobby as well.
Lol you're on the other end of the bell curve, spending-wise. There's gotta be cheaper alternatives. Are 20TB drives even cost effective yet? I thought the sweet spot was 12-16TB, but that was months ago.
Yeah I realized I meant to say it is a money sink when you start upgrading.
There are definitely alternatives, I'm looking to make the most out of my 5 bay and really future proof it a bit. I'm also exploring buying or building something bigger and packing it with more cost effective drives.
I have an old workstation that I use as a NAS. I run truenas on it, it's damn near infallible. 40TB JBOD array because I like to live on the edge. Redundancy? wtf is that even.
