So I have some space on my server rack, but not a lot of money lying around.

What I’m trying to achieve is a nas setup for my security camera system. It has 30 cameras, and 4 drives fill up in 3 months. 3X3TB drives.

Looking on eBay for a second hand rack mounted NaS is pretty expensive. Could I build one? From a jbod or something? I’ve got a nice big space in my rack doing nothing.

(I know I could buy bigger drives, but I kinda like the idea of experimenting with something g different) ✌️💛

    I’m running Trunas. I’ve been using it for many years, and it’s been an fantastic solution for me.

    As far as resources, what do you mean? It’s an older server, so Google is your friend for sure. But I’ve had zero issues sourcing parts that I may have needed.
