So here is where I am at. For my HT running kodi and also general data, I am looking into building a high capacity NAS setup. Admittedly, this is rather new territory for me. I am used to just having several backup drives and a 2TB drive on my routers built in NAS.
Overall for the amount of data, I would need 12TB with 12TB of backup for redundancy at minimum. Possibly 16-18TB optimal.
I currently see 4TB drives being the best bang for the buck with WD greens at $140. I have no issue doing 6tb drives, however I do not see any NAS setups that offer 6TB support. Or should I just skip a dedicated NAS and build my own?
My raid experience comes down to just raid 1 and 0. Seems what I am after would be a bit more complex than the basic two drive setups I have done in the past (researching other raid options currently)
Any info from others that have built a similar setup would be appreciated.
