Hard drives are so expensive I’m considering buying a 2U chassis and using old drives to expand my NAS as opposed to replacing small drives with larger ones. The only thing holding me back is the effort and the noise.
I have 20 500GB HDDs I got for free off a client who was disposing of some old desktops, daisy chained through a series of powered USB hubs currently hosting my Jellyfin and Immich content.

I regret nothing.
