That seems reasonable, I don't buy NAS for datacenters (just run a modest 80tb one for my home lab) but equivalent rackmount 16-bay ones from other vendors would be more expensive (maybe $5k-6k?) and with less polish.
- lostlogin 3mo ago> a modest 80tb one for my home lab I laughed.
- derekdahmer 3mo agoIt's wild but 80TB actually is modest compared to some of the enthusiasts on /r/homelab and /r/datahoarders that are running 300TB NAS servers at home. 80TB can still maybe fit in a single box. (8x10TB)
- lostlogin 3mo agoSynology systems will take 24TB drives (let’s not dive into which drives they’ll take). However there is a volume limit depending on processor. https://kb.synology.com/en-us/DSM/tutorial/Why_does_my_Synology_NAS_have_a_single_volume_size_limitation https://kb.synology.com/en-us/DSM/tutorial/Why_does_my_Synol...
- kube-system 3mo agoYeah, I'd certainly take it over this: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1618911-REG/synology_rackstation_rs4021xs_16_bay_nas.html https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1618911-REG/synology_...
- myrandomcomment 3mo agoI paid ~$4900 in October 2021 for a TrueNAS MiniXL+ with 8x14TB, 2x480G SSD (L2ARC/ZIL) and 64GB RAM, 2x10Gbps, with 3 year support direct from IxSystems. The CPU is an 8 core Intel(R) Atom(TM) CPU C3758 @ 2.20GHzStill going strong. I had drive failure and they replaced it. I had a fan failure and they replaced the fans. The price of the UI kit in 2026 seems to be reasonable.
