 ## Introduction

-In my homelab, I need somewhere I can put data, outside of my Proxmox VE cluster.
+In my homelab, I need a place to store data outside of my Proxmox VE cluster.

-At the beginning, my only one physical server has 2 HDDs disks of 2 TB. When I installed Proxmox on it, these disks were still attached to the host. I managed to share the content using a NFS server in a LXC, but this was far from a good practice.

-During this winter, the node started to fail, it was stopping by itself for no reason. This bad boy is 7 years old. When it was shut down, the NFS shares were unavailable, which was affecting some services in my homelab. Luckily I could fix it up by replacing its CPU fan, but now I want a safer place for these data.

 ## Choose the right platform


-For a while I wanted to have a NAS. Not one ready out-of-the-box like Synology or QNAP. While I think these are good products, I wanted to build mine. But I have a huge constraint of space in my tiny rack and the choice for a small NAS case are very limited.
+For a while I wanted a NAS. Not an out‑of‑the‑box Synology or QNAP, even though I think they’re solid. I wanted to build mine. Space is tight in my tiny rack, and small NAS cases are rare.

 ### Hardware

-I consider full flash NAS. This has several advantages:
- It is fast
- It is small
+I went for an all‑flash NAS. Why?
+- It's fast
+- It's _furious_
 - It consumes less
 - It heats less
 But with a major drawback, the price.
