Title: It&#x27;s 2021 and I am still using my home-built NAS (FreeNAS!), but I am increasingly interested in reducing energy consumption and maintenance time (mostly to improve compatibility with the family life, which leaves me less time to tinker with hardware).<p>So I humbly ask the hivemind:<p>- what are good solutions for storing personal backup on-site (other than a bunch of external hard drives)?<p>- What are some caveats that I should avoid?<p>- Can I trust the &#x27;standard&#x27; companies (Synology, QNAP, Seagate, ...) to keep my data sufficiently safe?<p>Strong opinions, war stories, and all other suggestions are highly welcome!
