[TriLUG] Storage server diy

[Wes Garrison via TriLUG]

I've done this several times over the last few years, and I'd be happy to
help

Generally, depending on size, I think ZFS on Debian or *buntu is the best
thing going, with 2x or 3x fault tolerance.

10TiB drives are the best bang for the buck right now as far as $/GB is
concerned.  You definitely want to get the NAS variant of drives, like WD
Red or Hitachi/HGST NAS.

Regular drives aren't meant to run 24x7, and they fail at very high rates.

I'd look at something like the Norco enclosures for this as well:

https://www.amazon.com/Silverstone-3-5-Inch-Hot-Swap-Rackmount-RM212/dp/B00S0M4D8U/


These are the cheap ones, and you may want to replace with quieter fans,
check solder joints, etc. unless you have the budget for expensive cases.
