Storinator Question

[ljcool_17]

Hi! Just saw the lastest LTT video and finally they reviewed something that I've been looking for! The Storinator! I've been looking for something like this to make archiving my files a little easier. But what is Storinator technically called? I've tried several keywords in the passed but none of what I wanted showed up.

You are looking for NAS or network-attached storage

Storage pod. Googling "Computer Storage Pod" gets results.

Or NAS, if you're referring to a smaller machine.

Something this size is commonly called a "rackmount storage server" because it is, well, intended to be mounted in a server rack.

(You can also try to search for 19" storage server)

If you search for "NAS" you will - most likely - only find con- and prosumer stuff from Synology or QNAP.

If the storage pods are to big, you can get the likes of a Norco RPC4224 (24 drives) for less

Thanks for the answers guys! I did try searching NAS before but all it gave me were Synology, QNAP and so on and maxed out at 24 drives I think. I'm looking for something the size of that Storinator. Big, but not too big, and has great room for expansion.
