Starting to build a storage pool sounds like a fun project, do you have suggestions of some hardware to start with that could later be expanded?
I’m not sure if data redundancy is necessary for my use case, as I don’t need to guarantee 24/7 accessibility.

lavendertea@lemmy.dbzer0.comOPto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Expanding storage on simple home serverEnglish1·23 days agoI’ve considered this as well, as I already back my data up regularly. However, I read online that external disks aren’t good for long-term access. Have you run into any issues with that?

Could I ask why a server HDD and not a desktop HDD?
Strongest album they’ve made imo, what does everyone else think of it?
