We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time (tm) ). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

Us = the community :) the two I pick is massive amounts of storage and fast storage with budget of $5000
Not for business, just imagine a lot of porn
$2000 - 45 Drives HL15 case, motherboard, etc
$2000 - 6x22 TB WD Red (or whatever size you can get after black friday)
$1000 - 5x4 TB SATA SSD of your choosing
132 TB of HDD storage (raw) + 20TB of SSD storage (raw) delivered over SFP or 10GBe
What is massive?
At least 8 inches

Okay lets say you go the prosumer approach:
1x QNAP QuTS hero TS-h973AX-32G ~ 1300€ each
2x Samsung OEM Datacenter SSD PM9A3 15.36TB, U.2 ~ 1400€ each
3x Toshiba Cloud-Scale Capacity MG10ACA 20TB, SATA 6Gb/s ~ 300€ each
Right at 5k and you get 15TB NVME RAID1 (mirror) and 40TB HDD RAID5 (parity). Without mirror/parity it is 30TB NVME and 60TB HDD raw space.
Thanks :) best answer!
SSD's are fast and quite. Check my profile posts. I sell Samsung 8TB for good prices.
Don't leave us hanging! They're quite what?
They're quite awesome and quiet. Lol
PCSP has a deal on a 2x 20 core 256gb workstation right now for $800.
1 4tb ssd Rest in HDDs
Profit???
I like it :)
old pc, HBAs, tons of drives, unraid pro license
As many Samsung t5 ssd’s as possible
Assuming you have unlimited power and noise tolerance
I would start with a used dell 720xd for $350 and then fill it up with drives. If you need more add jbods
