In order to store my own, my friends, and my family's data redundantly with backup and parity, I decided to build my own homelab setup that includes a NAS, a Diskshelf, and many more items tbd in the future.
above is a diagram I made in Adobe Illustrator depicting the hardware used in my server/nAS build.
above and below are some videos of the hardware prior to being fully setup.
SERVER/NAS Build and setup still in progress as of 2023-11-07.
