Yeah, is there a standard way to do it for homelab?

As the other commented mentioned, each spinning disk will add quite an additional baseload, 5W at least each.

Yeah I feel like I might actually go without spinning disks. Crazy world we live in.

Edit: Now that I’m searching around some sources say they have the same power draw??

I thought maybe have the nextcloud in a nicer shape (more performance, more reliable storage) so I can share it with friends and family without being afraid that I’m the one losing their pictures. That’s the start, not really sure what follows.
