I have 3 NASs, all custom built, for different purposes, will list them down one by one.
Odin:
i3 12100, B660m, 32gb ddr4, 3x16TB Seagate exos x16 (2 data + 1 parity), 500gb ssd cache, Antec P110s, runs Unraid
My main server, stays wherever I am (BLR now), runs unraid, home assistant vm, dozens of containers (*arr stack, emby, TIG stack, gitea, immich, syncthing etc). Pretty much all devices in my family syncs to this (eventually). Photos sync to immich mapped volumes update automatically. Stores backups, media files, trip photos from camera (Sony A7IV Raw files, quite large)etc.. On 24×7.
Freya:
i5 4440, asus z87 (?) motherboard, 16gb ddr3, 2x WD red 8tb drives in zfs mirror, Deepcool gamaxx 55 (not sure, my old gaming pc case), runs truenas scale.
My old main nas, now nas that stays in my hometown (RTO is a bltch). All devices in the house syncs to this directly (with syncthing) and Freya syncs with Odin over the internet. Both NASs contain a copy of all the devices in our family + camera files. Remains on 24×7.
Urd:
Ryzen 3000g, random a320m motherboard, 32gb ddr4, 2x HC550 16TB drives in zfs mirror, Node 804, truenas scale.
(Don’t have a photo of this server, and I’m not in BLR right now)
Snapshot server that contains periodical snapshot of Odin. I have several snapshot jobs running on different days of the week, with periodicity of 1 week. On specific days, tuya smart plug connected to this would turn the power on at 11:30PM, the machine is set to boot up on AC power, at 12:00AM, duplicacy running on Odin would initiate a delta snapshot/chunk check/prune job to this server over sftp. These being delta updates, takes less than an hour. The server then shuts down at 2:00AM with a cron job, and Tuya turns off the power at 6:00AM. This way the server isn’t running all the time, only when it needs to.
