I’m looking around to see if it’s worth it to buy an off the shelf NAS appliance and every single review has a whole mess of comments like “DAE CHINESE COMPANY CCP”
like motherfucker you live in burger land shut the fuck up
PS: can anyone recommend an inexpensive NAS appliance that I can throw an open source NAS OS on to serve up a few mismatched hdd I have kicking around?


Of course, unless it’s later synology when they tried to push their own drives, they are like small pc eating whatever.
Now if you do raids/zfs, they are more fussy about mismatched sizes (you will get lower of the two size likely as a result).
If you don’t care about speed of raid/zfs, you can mirror folders manually i believe with rsync or whatever
I’m on a bus so can’t elaborate, but OP should look up Snapraid for uneven drive sizes
