 * Asustor FS6812X with room for 12x NVMe M.2 SSDs, no SATA
 * Purchased from Scorptec at the end of 2024
 * I didn't necessarily need all 12 slots, but I wanted the dual 10G ethernet ports, and the bump to 16GB of RAM while also making it ECC was a compelling option
 * I've installed 4x Kingston 4TB KC3000 SSDs, PCIe Gen4, in RAID10
 * Single volume, with file shares and LUNs carved out of that

= Purchasing notes =

Based on [[furinkan/SynologyNAS| my research]] for options to upgrade [[../iowa]], my Synology NAS, I determined that they just don't have what I want, or would be vastly too expensive if they do. The Asustor Flashstor was in the right place at the right time, and it's an excellent product so far.

|| fenny - Asustor FS6812X                     || $2420 ||
|| Kingston KC3000 4TB SSD for $380 each       || $1520 ||
|| Mikrotik switches to support 10G networking || Let's not ask about those... ||
|| Total                                       || $3940 ||

And that sounds like a lot (and it feels like it), but the cheapest Synology all-flash array here is $6500. And it only takes 2.5" SATA SSDs (not inclulded), so I'm just not sure it's worth it. And it's a gonna be noisy because it has little 40mm 1RU fans. You can put a 25G NIC in there I guess, that's nice, but getting less and less relevant for me. Yeah the 10G switch was 1200 bucks, but I'm still ahead on pricing.

= Backups =

Cloud Backup Centre provides the same functionality as Cloud Sync on Synology. I sync the volume to an S3-alike bucket in Backblaze B2, and it seems to work quite nicely.

There's about 4TB of files in there. I don't sync everything to the cloud because it'd be too expensive for data that just isn't that valuable to me, it'd roughly double the costs.
