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?

    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”
