Question about storage (lemmy.world)

Hi !

I started my selfhosted journey with a synology nas. But the nas was crap, so I ended using it only as storage and backup solution, providing NFS shares. I added SBC like raspberry pi, then upgraded it to a elitedesk running debian.

I would like to upgrade my nas to a more powerful device but I'm also considering adding a sata extension dock and rely only on my elitedesk minipc instead of two devices.

Can I get remarks and advices?

Thanks!

Totally agree on keeping storage separate - if your compute device crashes, you don't risk your data, and you can easily swap/upgrade either component indepedently without disrupting the other.
