FAQ
Common questions about this kit
2-bay or 4-bay NAS?
2-bay to start (RAID 1 mirror). 4-bay when you want more space, RAID 6 redundancy, or growth. Most homes are fine with 2 bays for years.
NAS drives vs regular drives?
NAS drives (WD Red / Seagate IronWolf) are built for 24/7 operation and RAID. Desktop drives fail fast in a NAS. Do not skimp here.
A UPS for a NAS?
Yes. A power cut mid-write corrupts the array. A small UPS lets the NAS shut down cleanly and survive outages.
Does it replace cloud?
For backup and media, yes. For off-site disaster protection, no — replicate to a remote NAS or a cheap cloud bucket too.

Home NAS and my AI rig share the self-host religion — NAS drives over desktop drives is the same quality call. UPS-before-everything.
