    Whoa-Dang! I foresee a business expense in my office’s near future. FWIW, I’ve been pondering setting up a server, for various projects.

      I set up my first RAID5 a few months ago and let me tell you it was trivially easy. Don’t regret it for a second. I have not shifted my server over to it yet but that is in the works.

      For context it’s a 42TB RAID5 (4x 14tb ultra stars) and all in I was like $650. I got really lucky during Black Friday and got those drives for like 110 eagles a piece or something

          Good luck! Holler if you have any questions. Though most of the stuff is pretty easy to search luckily

            Well thank you! I have various parts & peices, that I think is sufficient to set things up. I should say, I’m not in the Linux environment. And from what I’ve read it looks so much easier than it would have been in the 90s when I started using computers in earnest.
