A client of mine exceeded the capacity of his Synology 5bay and 8bay shelves. He came to me asking for a solution. His current Synology setup is at 80% capacity, this crazy guy bought 24x 16TB Iron Wolf drives and asked me to build a FreeNas solution around them.
His prerequisite was that I keep it under $2500.00 (Minus Disks) Needless to say, challenge accepted.
