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?
If you’re not going server grade I’d just throw up a 4-bay docking station like this and do ZFS or LVM. Perfectly fine for single-user or family type stuff.
That’s a good call, thanks!!
