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)!

    My NAS at home is a DS1515 with 5x 8 TB WD Red disks. IIRC I use two drives for redundancy so I end up with 24 TB of usable space. However I currently use less than 5 TB I would say. :D

    Thanks for starting! I’m another refugee from Reddit.

    I have two:

    • DS220+ – 2x8TB Seagate Ironwolf Pro – primary device, running a bunch of containers including Plex (of course) and some actually useful ones like Paperless-ngx.
    • DS214se – 2x4tb Western Digital Red (CMR) – backup target for the other one, i will be sending it to my dad to be my off-site. (I host his off-site at my home; the DS214se was a hand-me-down/gateway drug.)

    I’m running

    • a DS923+ (36 GB RAM, 2x 4 GB WD Red Plus (CMR)) in a SHR + IronWolf 4 TB (hot spare) as my main NAS and
    • a DS218+ (12 GB RAM, 1x Seagate Ironwolf 3 GB, 1x WD Red Plus 2 GB (CMR) in a RAID-0) as my backup machine (in a remote location).

    I have a 115j lying around which still works, but I have no use for it any longer (it was my backup machine before I bought the 923+). I might try to sell it, but I’m not sure someone would want it (although as a simple private cloud (i.e. just Synology Drive) it works okay, I guess).

    I run some services (Gitea, Planka, Portainer, airsonic, Penpot, Stirling PDF, Homebox, Benotes, speed tracker) and want to get either Plane or Leantime for project planning (as Jira replacement). I’m also still trying to get Wallabag to run and want to take a closer look at Omnivore and Joplin, as I’m still looking for a good read-it-later solution.
