Hey guys ive been self hosting things for a while now mostly just off a bunch if old computers in a k8s cluster.

The majour issue i have currently is all my data is on a single hdd in an old dektop. Its painfully slow and very risky as i have no backup or anything (i dont feel to great about that).

I really dont have much $ to spend hence my setup is built from a stack of practically ewaste hobbled together. I finally have the $ to buy some drives how should i go about building myself a nas on the cheap?

    Just weight your risks. Old drives can fail early, and enterprise drives consume more power. Old drives probably not for mirrors or RAID5. RAID6 and spare HDD on shelf may save your data one day. It is a lottery.
