I would go with an unraid server, buy one big drive, like a 10TB for $189 take it out of the enclosure and start with that, then slowly transfer your data onto it, and when you empty a USB drive take the HD out of the enclosure and add it to your server. You would be able to do this for $300-400 to start, then add on as you go. There are some really good guides to get you started, here is one

Amazon also has them discounted:

If you're not in the US, check your local Amazon site; on Amazon.de shipping and taxes are much cheaper than B&H (180EUR vs 230EUR), shipping is very fast (2 days) and RMA is handled by Amazon.de.

It says the seller and shipping is from Amazon. How would you get scammed?

Dude I would wish so deeply to buy at this price.

You can buy at Brazil for only R$ 1882.00 at Amazon.

I just applied for the card and was approved instantly. Received a $100 credit which I can use against any purchase. With tax, the 8tb easystore is $36.55

they went live on amazon today.

$13.6 a TB after 15% off cashback, cheapest i've seen anywhere.

There is also the same deal in Germany for around 180€.

Amazon has been selling 10TB WD Elements drives for $179.99 lately. Not sure how much that will go down on black Friday.

That same link has a variety of sizes to choose from. The 8TB drives have been 124.99 for over a month. The only difference I can tell is that the WD Elements (Amazon's 'exclusive') have 2 years warranty instead of 3 years of the EasyStore (Best Buy's 'exclusive').

I have one of the 8TB models, it has an WD80EMAZ-00WJTA0 in it. It was super easy to open, didn't even need to use an old credit card like I do for the Easystores. I just laid it flat, back facing me and pulled on the ends and pushed forward with my thumbs on the flat part.

Amazon Canada currently has the WD Elements 10TB for $234 but I'm still not biting until they drop below $200. We need some 8TB deals at $149 or 10TB at $189 before anyone gets my money. And it must be PMR for me.

https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B07G3QMPB5

Combine that with two USB3 (shuckable) 10Tb for £150 each ( https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07G3QMPB5/ref=dra_a_rv_mr_ho_xx_P1300_1000?tag=dradisplay0bb-21&ascsubtag=e33d7bf9dc8fd5ec9d11c92010884e8d_S ) and you have 20Tb of storage in a 4 Bay NAS for £600. Of course with two bays spare for future expansion. That's pretty amazing!

https://www.amazon.com.au/10TB-Elements-Desktop-Drive-WDBWLG0100HBK-NESN/dp/B07G3QMPB5/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=wd+10tb&qid=1556023820&s=gateway&sr=8-2

By Canadian standards, the elements 8TB is a great deal. Don't forget to factor US state sales tax and 13% HST into the 10TB easystores - unless you've been in the US >48 hours you ain't bringing them back tax-free. Given the difficulty of sourcing the EasyStores without an AmeriFriend (Best buy blocks freight forwarding addresses), the next best option is to buy the 10TB elements from Amazon.com's Black Friday sale and ship them directly to Canada: https://www.amazon.com/10TB-Elements-Desktop-Drive-WDBWLG0100HBK-NESN/dp/B07G3QMPB5/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1542916212&sr=8-1&keywords=elements+10TB

Though this will increase your cost/TB calculation by a fair bit and certainly won't beat the 8TB Elements from BestBuy.ca. The only reason I mention it is that the WD 10TB white-label drives are helium-filled (less heat) and have unusually low power consumption. This is a big draw for me when filling a 24 bay chassis. YMMV.

The QNAP box offers good value, but if you decide to go a bit more hardcore, you really can't beat the ebay deals on used Supermicro 846BA-R920B boxes. The 846BA-R920B is ideal for 3 reasons, aside from the obvious hotswap bays. Platinum level power supplies (super efficient), passthrough backplane without expanders (avoid all the stupid compatibility/stability issues with expanders), and finally, SAS2 multilane connectors so you have 6 cables going to the backplane instead of 24 like with the TQ cases. Example (there's a whole lot more than this): https://www.ebay.com/itm/SUPERMICRO-4U-846BA-R920B-2x-E5-2660-32GB-24x-TRAYS-3x-LSI-9210-8I-JBOD/172518422437?epid=13010847355&hash=item282ae637a5:m:mQskbuTLwikNI-Bax42GiIw:rk:20:pf:0

I worked out the taxes-in $CAD/TB as follows: 8TB bestbuy $25.4, 10TB bestbuy.com $28, 10TB amazon.com $30.8

Obviously if you find a way to avoid NY sales tax and/or HST, the 10TB from bestbuy.com gets cheaper.

Uh...huh? I'm talking about these WD Elements.

Any reason you're not just upgrading to larger HDDs? Grab a couple of the 10Tb drives on sale right now (Amazon Prime Deal) and move the data over. You could copy all your data to a single drive for a short period, wipe and rebuild the server on something easy like mergerFS (https://blog.linuxserver.io/2017/06/24/the-perfect-media-server-2017/) which lets you expand without any issues.

Much cheaper than buying additional hardware and then going through the trouble of running plex via NFS/SMB mounts.

But to each their own...

The $160 is from shucking the drive, at least compare like for like

https://www.amazon.com.au/10TB-Elements-Desktop-Drive-WDBWLG0100HBK-NESN/dp/B07G3QMPB5

Maybe you already know this but you can get the 10TB Elements. https://www.amazon.com.au/10TB-Elements-Desktop-Drive-WDBWLG0100HBK-NESN/dp/B07G3QMPB5/ No 64GB pen drive and crappier warranty but you don't have to worry about the encryption if you plan to leave it in the case but might prefer to open it if the controller breaks I guess. (Although sounds unlikely from your details.)

As I understand it, the Easystores and Elements contain the same drives. The 10tb elements are available now at that price:

$1,000 of these and he can put them in a rotation to get all the offsite he needs.

Well you don't have to go with a server-style case, it's just what I default to thinking of. The one you linked to only holds 8 drives, though they are hot-swap which I admit is a very convenient feature.

The Cooler Master Cosmos II holds 11 drives and looks like a normal PC case. It also has three 5.25" bays which means you can shove a cheap 5-in-3 drive cage in there to be able to use all 16 ports on the LSI 9201-16e. Don't forget to buy a fan for it though.

You could also go for a case that has all 5.25" bays in the front like the Antec Nine Hundred, then use those 5-in-3s for 15 total drives. If you really want hot-swap though it would be expensive. With a quick search the cheapest 5-in-3 hot-swap bays I could find are the NORCO SS-500s.

As far as a PSU you goes, you don't need much since it will only be powering HDDs and fans, no CPU or anything like that. It can be a low power one, 500 watts is probably more than you'll need. Just make sure make sure it has a single rail for the 12v and 5v power and is from a reputable brand. I like the EVGA Supernova, that would easily run 16 drives.

EDIT: WD 10TB Elements drives on sale for $160 until midnight Pacific time. This is an even better deal than the 8 TB ones for $130 the other day. You should definitely snatch up as many as you were planning to get.

edit It occurs to me that you meant 2.5” drives. Not really a fan of those, as they’ll be slower, and not give you as many TB per dollar. The following comment is talking about the full size 3.5 inch drives.

Yes they are great. Then and easystores are what is recommended here. I have 4 myself.
I presume you saw this link:
https://www.amazon.com//dp/B07G3QMPB5/

That is s great price.

Two 6tb drives would give you redundancy you need, and likely fill all your storage needs (you’d need something like 1000 gog games to even hit 2tb), unless you get into true hoarding. Even one would be better than nothing.

You could likely leave them as is, connecting via usb. Often people here engage in “shucking” where we remove the drive to directly connect to our various hardware setups, but this can potentially complicate returns.

If a drive dies as is, you can just return it.

Most drives are pretty darn reliable, but the can still fail at any moment, so backing up to two different drives prevents data loss.

It is also recommended to have another offsite backup, in case of disasters like thieves, fire, lightning, flooding or government. You can worry about that later.

yep.

WD Elements 10TB for $160 is a solid deal. These are easily shuckable and have WD White drives inside (which are basically Reds for all intents and purposes). I've got six of these in a NAS setup and I love them.

If people don't mind it being sent from the US the WD 10TB Elements is down to £155.45 + £6.72 UK Delivery.
