what's going on guys my name is matt and for a while i very badly needed a new data storage solution see up until this point i've done what a lot of content creators do which is fill up my internal drives then either delete files or move them to an assortment of external drives this works okay but it makes it hard to track down certain files and there's no redundancy which isn't great going for something like an off-the-shelf nas can cost hundreds if not thousands of dollars before you even begin to factor in the cost of drives hopping on a youtube you'll find people who claim to have built a high drive count system for only a few thousand dollars and then they proceed to pull out ten thousand dollars worth of drives provided to them from a manufacturer this is fine and all but i wanted to see what i could put together for much cheaper so say hello to my new 80 terabyte storage server t
