I personally think of a small DIY rack stuffed with commodity HDDs off Ebay with an LVM spanned across a bunch of RAID1s. I don't want any complex architectural solutions since my homelab's scale always equals 1. To my current understanding this has little to no obvious drawbacks. What do you think?
Just the 5-6 raid modes are shit. And its weird willingness to let you boot a failed raid without letting you know a drive is borked.
