I have a core i3 system with a PCIe SAS controller and 8x 8TB drives in RAID 6. It currently hosts my Jellyfin library, Immich library, and is also my primary fileserver for the LAN. I actually just moved my old 4x 5TB array from that machine over to my primary desktop to hold my Steam library. Pretty good setup if you like to tinker around with stuff.
On top of that the actual article is a big nothing-burger. Not worth reading beyond the title.
