lightrush , 2 months ago (edited 2 months ago) Lenovo ThinkCentre / Dell OptiPlex USFF machine like the M710q. Secondary NVMe or SATA SSD for a RAID1 mirror Use LVMRAID for this. It uses mdraid underneath but it's easier to manage External USB disks for storage WD Elements generally work well when well ventilated OWC Mercury Elite Pro Quad has a very well implemented USB path and has been problem-free in my testing Debian / Ubuntu LTS ZFS for the disk storage Backups may require a second copy or similar of this setup so keep that in mind when thinking about the storage space and cost Here's a visual inspiration: https://lemmy.ca/pictrs/image/20de16c0-cd76-4184-a88e-2d36ec707ff9.jpeg
