If you have a spare box doing little, and a bunch of drives, it (or unRAID) are reasonable solutions. Proxmox can also build RAID with random drive sizes - I’m running one with 3 drives, using ZFS RAID 0, it has a terabyte of storage.
Yep, it’s gonna suck when one of those drives fail.
Well as long as you’re aware of the risk and prepared for it, its not so bad to run in a volatile way like that. I ran my TN box for almost a decade on the same USB boot before I finally caved and picked up three Intel enterprise SSD for the job, with one as a cold spare. Nothing in the vox was critical or would be missed for more than a few beers of crying.
Lol.
