DIY NAS

This is my first bit of HomeLab kit: 6x 10Tb drives using SnapRAID!Design goals:DIY to get costs as low as possibleUse an on Rock5B SBC for ComputeWith an ARM running on a few watts, and 8Gb RAM, this ruled out UnRAID and ZFS straight away. I have settled on SnapRAID, as it can do offline parity updates overnight. I feels that's safe enough for my needs, and fits the constraints nicely. The Rock5B has 2.5GbE, and comfortable passes on single-drive HDD throughput.The Hardware is based on cheap 15 mm Angle Aluminium. It;s cut to 4 pieces, and drilled for mounting the drives. The top and bottom plates were designed in Fusion 360, and printed in PLA. The drives are connected by a cheap M.2-to-6x-SATA adapter.
