Hi! I have a NUC with 250GB SSD inside. It’s running everything from pihole through arr apps to 3d printing frontend. Since my family is starting to think “hey that’s a good idea can I use it too”, 250GB is starting to be not enough.

Do you have any recommendations? A NAS? A DAS? Something else?

For now, I’m downloading and deleting shows/movies cos I don’t have space obviously, but eventually I’d like to keep some that are cool. Or backup photos to it and stuff.

Thanks :)

    I use an expensive JBOD USB/e-SATA BOX to host 4 ssd’s (nowadays, but those has been hdd’s until 2022) connected via usb3. The box has a huge fan too.

    I think the issue is not USB itself but how cheap you go with your enclosure…

    No, can confirm no data corruption. Can I be 100% sure? No I cannot of course.

    I use EXT4, which again never gave me issues whatsoever. So far.
