Dear Krishan,<br>
<br>
I concur with Steven,<br>
<br>
I have a similar (though 8 bay only) Synology NAS system, equiped with 8 Tb drives and running in RAID 6.<br>
<br>
Bought it 5 years ago for less than 3000€, easy to configure, almost nothing to do on a daily basis, hot swap hard drives and very cheap compared to other professional solutions.
<br>
<br>
You can buy several of them and connect them together very easily.<br>
<br>
If money is your main issue, this kind of NAS might be your solution.<br>
<br>
Best wishes,<br>
Sylvain<br>

<div>If you want something requiring minimal IT support but with good performance, I have purchased several of these (we use them mostly with individual workstations, then have traditional rack-mounted RAIDs for the larger archives):
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Synology 12 bay NAS DiskStation DS2419+</div>
<div class=""><a href="https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.amazon.com/Synology-Bay-DiskStation-DS2419-Diskless/dp/B07NF987TP/ref=sr_1_3__;!!Mih3wA!SIeQ8SR_6IDaerUO5wDhBalegHnwL4VNvWmoh3CWrS25yS3Dwva5vqo63Y5zyRMFbw$" class="">https://www.amazon.com/Synology-Bay-DiskStation-DS2419-Diskless/dp/B07NF987TP/ref=sr_1_3</a></div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">This costs ~$1500</div>
<div class="">add a 10gb network card to it (~$150) it can easily do ~950 MB/s read speed, and about 600 MB/s write speed (if you have a 10gb network to plug it into). </div>
<div class=""><span style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);" class="">load it with 16 TB drives (~$4500),</span><span style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);" class=""> </span>you get ~150 TB of usable space (configured as a RAID
6). It is all web driven and user-friendly. </div>
<div class="">it is also usable in an office environment (fairly quiet, no jet-speed fans). </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">so ~150 TB for $6000</div>
<div class="">It is also possible to supplement it with a second 12 bay JBOD box to double the capacity.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Don't get me wrong, this is not an optimal solution for >500 TB, but it is pretty decent for a good sized CryoEM lab.</div>
