@LemmingO Thanks, appreciate the insight. Still haven't decided what I'm going to do when the 10 year old Synology I use for backing up Unraid packs it in.
Got a deal on a tiny Terramaster D6-320 & 4 X 22tb WD Red drives. So I've got that setup as a DAS using StableBit DrivePool.
Which kind of reminds me a little of Unraid. With PC cases slowly turning into aquariums, a small external case for spinning disks is handy.
