Hi, I would like to ask your advice on NAS device. I plan to buy a NAS for my home lab, but I want to know what you would suggest to me buy?
I will have two purposes for NAS
1) use it for VMware vSphere Storages device for VMs. I am home labber, and I like to build all kinds of VMs for learning IT.
2) personal files (it would be nice if it has a thunderbolt connection for mac.)
Because the primary purpose is a home lab, it has to be very flexible and scalable. I want to buy step by step more HDDs in different sizes and create RAID/Storages pools among different HDDs/SSDs/nvme. NIC speed Min. 10Gbe.
Min bay number is 4. 6 or more are better.
Price as cheap as possible. Around 1000EUR. I have to buy drives as well.
Thank you
