I want to create a NAS for my family at home. I am already pretty sure about using TrueNAS as software, but the hardware is still open.
What hardware do you recommend for 2TB of usable Storage (+a second drive for mirroring the first one) that is used by 3 people for pictures, videos, and documents?
HDD has 100x the storage capacity vs SSD. What are you talking about?
OP asked for 2TB and that’s easily done with SSD these days
100x ? Did you sleep for 15 years?
A 2tb SATA SSD has a comparable price to a 4tb SATA HDD.
If it wasn’t for the Al bubble the prices would be even lower
And a 4tb SSD is the same price as a 16tb HDD.
If that trend continues, when you get to a 100tb of SSD(s) the equivalently priced HDD(s) will have 100x the capacity.
4x is way far compared to 100x
the only case where hdds have a 100x ratio, is where apple scams their customers offering a 256gb upgrade for $200: it means $800 per terabyte (this price was a scam even 15 years ago), and a $500 18tb HDD is 100x “apple platinum grade ssd”
…What are you talking about?
What decade do you live in? It’s closer to 2-4x nowadays, and 2TB is nothing
