Makes sense! Interestingly, my power is free in Hawaii.

I don’t plan to run them all simultaneously. I’ll have 3 data sets:

1. My main storage 1 TB, with a syncing copy of the whole TB on another machine and 1 offline copy updated perhaps every few months.

2. My family photos and videos, allocating 1 TB to the photographer of the family, with a synced copy attached to a digital photo frame.

3. My home video media server hosted on a cloud storage app I wrote myself. I probably won’t put in any redundancy for that set and will focus on size.

I haven’t learned RAID yet, but will sometime.
