We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time (tm) ). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

I have around 20TB of data, constantly growing & need access to it semi-regularly (alien.top)

Basically what the title says. I’m a photographer/videographer with around 20tb in separate HDD drives (currently backed up on Backblaze). I would like something that adds some security & gives me a central hub as my system is probably not feasible long term the more data I have. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

There’s an Amazon sale on a 4-bay Terramaster NAS for $170 right now. You can get that and whatever drives is enough storage space with whatever RAID you want, and then back that up to back blaze.

And then if you want to access it remotely, get a cheap micro PC off eBay to use as a VPN server.

Thank you! I’m still somewhat confused tho because I thought NAS implied I could access it remotely without any add-ons. Also for what I do, what RAID should I be getting? 0-1? Lastly, what drive brand do you recommend?

You can also use a raspberry pi with OpenVPN
