Question Curious how much NAS space do people have?

Was just wondering. I like tinkering so keep adding NAS. I have a Dlink 2 bay that I have had forever and a Synology 4 bay then got an HP Microserver with 4 bays and used spare parts to build an 8 bay NAS. Have 14/18 bays filled with 63TB so far.
 
About 210TB. Of which only 42TB is usable.
It's divided in three servers in 5x14TB raidz2 arrays. Device A is the working NAS with 128GB of memory. Device B is a general server with 64GB of memory which also functions as back up target for the main NAS each night. Device C is offsite backup 6-bay ITX NAS with only 32GB of memory.

Someday I'll update Device A with redundant NVMe storage as cache. Or maybe try Ceph.

That much. 3x 8TB drives in an mdadm striped raid w/ parity.

Most of it is just backups of my other computers and my ripped DVD collection.
 
About 20TB total usable space or so, some of which is on SSDs.
