It’s time to get some storage for the homelab. I could get a Synology, but I’d quite like to build my own using ZFS.
However it seems hard (or my Google-fu sucks) to find good, reasonably priced 4 bay JBODs. Most of what I can find either looks very cheap or is almost as expensive as a Synology.
Any suggestions?
They aren’t usually terribly noisy and you can control the fans through the emc/idrac/etc. I used to keep mine on my desk or entertainment stand and put a TV on it lol
