I’m looking for suggestions. I have a rack in my office with up to 4U space available. I’m looking to set up a backup and storage solution to try and break free from services such as dropbox & google drive. I’d also love to run a few other things like homeassistant and potentially even Klipper for my 3d printer. I’d also like it to be reasonably quiet if possible.
So what would you recommend? I could get something like a dell poweredge and add HDDs + replace the fans with noctua to keep the noise down or go with a dedicated NAS like synology. Any other recommendations?
As someone who is sort of tech savvy, but not savvy enough for Linux and all the trouble shooting that comes with it, would a Synology DS920+ be good?
