Just looking into a next data solution. Not had any issues with my 1 drive NAS with 16TB HDD, I also got a cheap UPS after a few power outages a while back which has worked great.
Samsung 870 QVO 8TB can be had for £320.
Redundancy is overrated. What happens if a bit flips on a 50GB video? What about dust on a blu-ray? Neo fails to enter the Matrix or not a lot would be my guess. I back it up. I could move the UPS to my PC.
Pros: fast, no more QNAP OS that keeps getting hacked, silent, no need for 2.5/10GBE upgrades, bonus 300GB not having QNAP OS anymore, 16TB HDD is reused for backup duty
Cons: no parity (don't have that now), double chance of data loss with 2x JBOD (it's backed up)
We must be close to sensible 16TB SSDs, but currently they're £2000.
edit: I've got about 12TB data atm on the NAS so still some space and not urgently requiring replacing.
