I have played with the idea of using the balcony. But in summer, it hits 40C+ for a couple of months, so if they were in a rack or similar storage it would get even hotter. I would also have to have AC for it. Inside, we already have AC on :)
I wanted more hands-off really. Just a little box plugged in, replace the HDDs when the red light comes on, the rest is automatic. But of course, at the same time, it is MY data, so I'd rather it was using ZFS and so on.
The Thecus, and QNAP, raids both use Intel chipsets. I am curious if I picked up an empty box; 2nd hand for next-to-nothing, if I couldn't re-flash it with osol, or eon, or freenas.
