    SSD are not great for long term storage, right? Guess this isn’t a backup system but more of a system to have files available on multiple devices.

      That’s not been true for a long time.

      Especially for a private home server, SSDs run quieter, cooler, and are more compact.

      Still more expensive than spinning rust though.

        Oh, I don’t argue about loudness, cooling or size. For me the defining factor of a good long term storage is reliability, and I have read somewhere you cannot store an SSD unpowered over long periods of time or you’ll get data loss. Again probably not a factor for this system as you just keep it powered then.

      Anything is ok for long term storage as long as you have a backup and you have tested the recovery
