If there is one thing you shouldn't cheap out on imo it's the storage.

Personally I have focused on fast SSD storage and utilized the vast, cheap, slow storage available with mechanical drives for backup.
At the end of the day, if an SSD fails, you're effectively just screwed. If a mechanical drive fails, there is some possibility that the data is recoverable. But moreover, mechanical storage is so cheap by volume that you can just have redundant backup and never worry about it, really.

So far I've been following recommendations from this person: https://old.reddit.com/r/NewMaxx/comments/16xhbi5/ssd_guides_resources_ssd_help_post_your_questions/
replies:
The point is to run TLC drives. SLC drives of that capacity are too expensive and are thus not recommended.

WD Green /shrug
I’ve been using all Red Pros since I first built my nas, but it started with a couple of green 2TB that where in there for like 7 years before being replaced (didn’t die yet)

Your local network is probably 1Gbit or 2.5Gbits so you’ll be good with SATA as an aux drive, say a Samsung 870 QVO. I’d recommend running a smaller NMVe as your main one.
replies:
Transcend ssd220s (4tb SATA) can be found for really nice prices.
Even had a thread about this one on Lemmy cuz I wasn't sure how good it is (it's great).
Perhaps running a mirror or a stripe array would be more important than selecting drives that don't fail. Then you can pick whatever that's not complete garbage. That said, it would likely still be more expensive overall.
A SATA ADATA SU800 died on me after 4 years of use. (Luckily I had a weekly harddrive backup so I lost almost nothing! :D)
Samsung, WD, Lexar, Kingston generally are known reliable name brands (but Samsung warranty doesn't work well in Canada). If you watch !bapcsalescanada@lemmy.ca like a hawk (Canada's PC part sales mirrored from Reddit) you may find the occasional deal that is at or under $50/TB Canadian (roughly 36 US$, 35€)
E:I noticed it hasn't posted in a couple days, wonder if it died or got banned

Been using Sabrent Rocket SSDs for awhile. Been reliable and fast. They aren't the cheapest SSDs, but they perform well and don't break the bank.
replies:
Used enterprise SSDs is what I'm running, bit of work to filter down the results on eBay though.

I've been running a couple ADATA Nvme drives since 2019. No issues and they're fast.
replies:
I use enterprise drives because they're cheaper and more reliable.
Got some 4TB enterprise NVMe for 150 each. They only had 3TB written, basically brand new.
I've heard good things about the netac n7000, (not the n7000t!), but I have not bit the bullet yet on buying one

buffalo, SanDisk, Samsung have all done me well.
