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?

A single ssd with whatever formatting came with it, along with a webdav frontend I made myself. Very high security (confidentiality) actually, since I check for client side cert, user auth, biometrics (that's plural), behavior recognition through a custom typing website and hardware token, but the integrity could use some help. And I'm painfully aware that someone could just steal my session.

I love security.
