🗄️ NAS Systems

Network Attached Storage systems in the homelab infrastructure

Overview

Comprehensive documentation of NAS systems providing centralized storage, backup, and media services.

Primary NAS Systems

Atlantis (Synology DS1821+)

  • Model: Synology DS1821+ 8-bay NAS
  • Storage: 8x 14TB WD Red Pro drives (RAID 6)
  • Total Capacity: ~84TB usable storage
  • Role: Primary storage, media library, backup target
  • Services: Docker containers, media streaming, file sharing

Key Features:

  • Hardware transcoding support
  • 10GbE networking capability
  • ECC RAM support
  • Hot-swappable drives

Calypso (Secondary NAS)

  • Model: Custom built NAS server
  • Storage: Multiple drive configuration
  • Role: Secondary storage, development environment
  • Services: Development containers, testing environment

Storage Architecture

RAID Configuration

  • RAID 6: Primary configuration for fault tolerance
  • Hot Spares: Available for automatic rebuild
  • Scrubbing: Regular data integrity checks

Network Storage Protocols

  • SMB/CIFS: Windows file sharing
  • NFS: Unix/Linux file sharing
  • iSCSI: Block-level storage
  • FTP/SFTP: File transfer protocols

Backup Strategy

Local Backups

  • Snapshot replication between NAS systems
  • Incremental backups for changed data
  • Version control for critical files

Cloud Backups

  • Encrypted cloud storage for critical data
  • Automated sync for important documents
  • Disaster recovery procedures

Monitoring & Maintenance

Health Monitoring

  • SMART data monitoring for drive health
  • Temperature monitoring for thermal management
  • Performance metrics for optimization

Maintenance Schedule

  • Monthly: Drive health checks
  • Quarterly: Firmware updates
  • Annually: Physical cleaning and inspection

Integration

Container Orchestration

  • Portainer stacks deployed on NAS systems
  • Docker volumes for persistent storage
  • Network shares for container data

Media Services

  • Plex Media Server for streaming
  • Arr suite for media management
  • Backup services for data protection

Status: All NAS systems operational with full redundancy
