I do apologize if I don’t fully understand everything including terminology, but I’ve realized I probably should try to set up some sort of NAS and the hardware I would like eventually is going to cost me around 300$~ not including the proper harddrives. At the moment I cannot really buy everything I need, but I do have an Odroid XU4 with a heatsink that I bought a while ago, so I could take a look at it cuz I was looking for affordable alternatives to raspberry pis.

I also have a lot of harddrives lying around that I collected over the years, since my broke ass doesn’t like throwing things out in case I can use them for something else.

I was wondering if this could be possible for a very temporary setup, and I was thinking raid-z2 or zfs which I read in an article when I was trying to read up on this a little bit. Problems I already see is power and harddrives failing, so I think some sort of cold backups might be needed.
