I am personally more for up-cycling old PC parts and servers, but I must admit this looks very nice.

I like that it has 2.5GB Ethernet ports but I dom’t have anything that goes faster that 1GB currently. Would love to fix that when I get some hardware for my supermicro chassis.

2.5 Seems kinds overkill… until you take into account that in the next few years you’ll likely get a pc that has a similar port, then think of how fast you’ll be able to load up those HDD’s…

Speaking of that, did you hear about Seagate’s new massive HDD’s they are working on? https://www.pcgamer.com/seagates-new-hard-drives-show-its-on-track-to-deliver-50tb-hdds-by-2026/

I have not, though I’m not expecting to need any serious amounts of data storage. I’d rather focus on availability and redundancy over raw storage so smaller and cheaper SAS drives would be ideal for my plans. Thanks for linking though!
