As this community is just starting, I thought learning more about each other’s setups would be interesting.

I’ll go first:

  • DS916
  • 4x8TB Hard Drives: 3 WD Reds, 1 Seagate Ironwolf (oldest drive is 53,150 hours or just over 6 years)

I haven’t had to replace anything yet (knock on wood)!

    Running two here.

    • DS1019+ (2x Ironwolf Pro 12TB, 3x Ironwolf Pro 16TB, SSD cache, 16gb RAM)
    • DS1821+ (4x Ironwolf Pro 16TB, 1x WD 14TB, 1x Ironwolf Pro 12TB. SSD Cache, 32gb RAM, 10GbE.)

    I’ve got a Minecraft server on each, 25ish docker containers on the 1821, and 5 on the 1019+.

    The 1019+ now mostly just runs Plex and acts as a happy little hyperbackup vault for the 1821+, which has all my actual data on it.

    Local PC’s also back up to the 1019+ via Active Backup.

    I started with the 1019+ and 2x 12tb drives to replace my Windows Home Server (yeah, an HP media smart from 2007) that had 4 drives in it with 12 years powered on time each. (WD greens believe it or not!)

    Those little dudes went to Valhalla on the tip of a drill bit and EARNED it.
