We also have very positive experience with FreeNAS/TruNAS system. Here is the shop for their
on-the-shelf units.

Hi Krishan,

Our 60-drive 760 TB FreeNAS has been running flawless since more than 1 year. One failed drive was easily hot swapped. If you want capacity, this does not cost more  per TB than inferior hardware, yet you get good redundancy and performance.

Hello,

I am requesting suggestions and cost estimates about off the shelf data storage systems to store raw cryo-EM movies and processed data for our lab. Our initial target is 150-200 TB with options to expand it in future.
We don't have much local IT support for Linux based systems, that's why I am asking for an off-the shelf system which should be easier to install and manage.

Thank you
best regards

Krishan Pandey
