diskless is ~$600. the 10gbe upgrade module is what's actually stopping me, not the nas itself
2
2x 16TB Seagate Exos drives

~$190-200 for a near-silent n150 box, not actually fanless like i thought going in. cheapest item here, the one i'll actually buy first

the nas has survived two outages on hope alone. ~$140 for peace of mind that's honestly overdue
6
9U wall-mount rack
