Personally will be trying to transform my server which is currently in a fractal R5 case, into a small-ish Homelab rack, combined with all my network equipment. Will require complete relocation of all network equipment in the house as well as cables so it will be a bit of a project. Also on the lookout for a good quality rack so let me know if you have any recs. Still unsure if u want to do full width rack or mini. Part of me really want the UDM Pro from Unifi..

What are your goals and thing you want to accomplish during 2025?

I've got ZFS on my older NAS which is a FreeNAS box I build myself a while back (an old HP N40L), the Synology one is using BTRFS (only because it doesn't support ZFS). That being said, I'm well aware of bitrot, the RAID is to protect against a drive dying, and the vast majority of stuff on the NAS is stuff where a flipped bit isn't going to be the end of the world even if the file system doesn't catch it. For stuff that's more important I keep multiple copies of it or and/or have a backup in the cloud.
