First, I would like to thank this community for being an understanding, open-minded and Novice friendly like myself. I have learned a lot in the past few weeks thanks to this community, unlike Reddit’s toxic communities where asking a question is illegal.
I have built most of my NAS; the only missing component (CPU) I will be collecting in the morning. I just wanted to ask general questions or tips. Dos and Donts. I will be using Unraid as OS.
I don’t use unraid by my advice for everyone is that you can’t have too many backups of data that you really care about, use the 3-2-1 rule at a minimum.
Also, welcome to your new hobby you will love and hate at the same time sometimes :D
