Model F6-424 Max
Should you buy the TerraMaster F6-424 Max?
Put 6 drives in RAID 5 and one drive's worth goes on parity, leaving you 83% of what you paid for. There's room for RAID 6 too, keeping 67% of the space with two drives' worth of protection, and on big drives that's worth having. It's x86. Docker's happy. Room for 64 GB of RAM means a VM or two can sit alongside the containers. And it's got 10GbE.
Two M.2 slots too.
Usable space with 6 matching drives
These are decimal TB, the way drive boxes count them, and Windows will show roughly 9% less. Got a mix of sizes? Put your own drives in the calculator and it'll work out the layers.
