For me it would have been buying the steam frame (but I am still in the waitlist). Also, I recently gotten into the 40k lore, but there is no way I can find the time and physical place to get into wargames.

I feel you. We hit the limit of our 2 TB in RAID1 like a year ago. Those were old, like some 10 years. I hold off, I thought we could make it until prices come down again. Could not, because one started failing. So I had to bite the bullet, bought two 8TB for 800 € 🙈. Was some 350€ one year ago, where I thought “Nah, those will get cheaper, we still can get by, by deleting some unused Linux ISOs every now and then” 🙃.
It is so annying, this is the first NAS I have ever built myself, and the first proper redundant storage solution I will ever have had at home.
(I don’t consider the old Intel NAS with four used 2TB drives in a raid 10 to be reliable anymore)…
Now all my media is on teo drives, one 2TB for photos, and one 4TB for other media.
I want a modern NAS that can deal with a loss of two drives without any loss of data.
I am also annoyed at TrueNAS, I have been planning on using TrueNAS since the start of the project, one key feature was that they were open source, now that they have closed the source, I don’t believe I can trust them anymore. Currently considering Proxmox, or Open Media Vault.
I don’t know how stable OMV is with ZFS, so I am feeling a but stuck…
My initial plan was actually to use OMV, set up LMV and have a 32bit LV across the six 8tb PVs and migrate as needed, but that just felt like a way too annoying nonstandard setup…
So I decided on TrueNAS tor their ZFS support, and now here we are…
