Hi, I’m new to the whole storage game. I currently run a 32TB nvme system. I do however want to move away from storing everything on nvme just so I can prolong their lifespan a bit more. I’ll be doing general purpose storage and archiving.

I’m looking into SATA hdds to get on the cheap. I won’t need crazy amounts of storage, but ideally around 20tb in 7 disk with at least raid5.

What would your recommendations be on getting? If I can get more storage for less, then that would be even more ideal. I’m not looking to spend crazy amount of money, but I would be willing to put down a few hundred bucks.
