I am wondering if I am the only one with two. I can use a third one though.

    Just the PC so far but there is no such thing as enough storage.

    34TB so far but it’s been growing really slowly the past decade by just replacing any dead drive by a larger one.

    Two, one in active use and the other has its main board (Raspi 3B) on loan for folks in my dept. I demanded, “As soon as we have 80-ish USD, we gonna replace that old clunker out for something recent using our department budget.” I could use a desktop PC as a case, tho (and use my Raspi-centered NAS as offsite backup back in my hometown).

    u/100GHz, ZERO (answer to the question in title of your post)

    Same OEM for 20+ years.

    With that said, over the years, I’ve replaced the NAS(es) ca. every 4 years to their newer model (and with each newer NAS, then also new/larger drives as well)… so ca. 5th Generations of NAS Systems in that time frame todate

    Note:

    I always purchase at least 2 if not 4 of the same exact model and brand NAS (mainly for HA and/or redundancy --‘redundancy’ is NOT backup-- purposes… aka. one physical NAS dies, then you can literally take the drives out of the defective one, stick them into one of the other NAS, boot the device and have immediate access to the data if you are in a pinch --while the ‘temp’ replacement NAS drives will be out of the chasis and of course not available–)

    Best Regards

    I have one PC connected to two DAS enclosures, each having 5 drives installed for a total of 10 drives.
