So my "toy" is Unraid server with 220TB of dual parity space IIRC. Sadly the unraid server at my house in the country with no internet (not even cell - current satellite does not count as internet --- i refuse to get it) i do weekend data dumps for my kid.
(A note on the internet - the local power company just got a grant and according to them I will have fiber to the house - BTW it is in the stix - 1gb to 10gb connection speeds synchronous... a hurry up and wait moment)
The system is a Dell PowerEdge T630 with 18 x 3.5 drives (mostly 14tb's). The unit is over 50% full.
I am going to add some hardware raid DAS when I have some time for another project.

Dual 14 core Xeon 2.8GHZ V4's
256GB of DDR4

Dual Perc 730Ps for controllers one connection is external for a 2.5 DAS (16 x 5TB slow drives) I am working on bringing up
