Seriously curious about what your setup is

Nothing special, just more expensive than I'd have liked.

"odin" is a Synology DS2419+ 12-bay, with 12 14TB disks in it, and a DX1215II-1 12-bay expansion unit attached with 12 16TB disks in it. "thor" is a recent addition, a Synology DS1825+ 8-bay, with 8 26TB disks in it.

odin is about 5 years old now, still on its original non-Synology-disks (because I don't do that bespoke branded disk horseshit), no problems. thor arrived last month, behaving itself nicely. Same thing, non-Synology-branded disks.

Correct. Problem?

Nah, of course not. It's just that I use one 512GB NVMe and two HDDs (2 and 4TB) and I still have almost 900GB of free space.
What are your biggest files? Do you have anything larger than game and full Blu-ray ISOs?

Games are among the biggest, yeah (fitgirl repacks can still get pretty big despite that autistic compression). Docker containers and VM images can get pretty beefy too, along with installers (Visual Studio 2022 and 2026 are thicc bois when you download the entire package set for fully-offline installation, for example). Both units have 10 gigabit ethernet ports and my home network is all 10-gigabit, so despite it still being spinning rust, it's actually viable to run VMs on other machines and just mounting via iSCSI is still plenty fast.

They're expensive as fuck but they still hit above their weight class in terms of how well they perform and what their hacked-up Linux distro (debian, gutted and Synology-ified) can run.
