Option 2 is worst - degraded performance and questionable security . LSI 9260-8i is a 50-60 USD in ebay, excellent choice .

Zpool v.45 shows up on Oracle's Solaris !

Huh, Get 256gb m2 ssd for the OS and add what you what HDD as second drive. It's a real penance a hard drive installed OS in the year of 2019 :) My fault , second glass of ouzo related :) The Ultrastar , no doubt . Old OSes cant boot from it but that is not a concern in your case.

That nas must have logs. Begin from there.

Usually tape libraries comes bundled with license of some "lite" version of proprietary software. In mine case with two tanberg's magnum exabyte 224 lto4 and lto6 for the second, it was "Symantec back up exec" 2010 and 2014 respectively. Always keep in mind that robotic libraries are delicate...

Honestly I dont think Lto tapes as nas is a good idea. Single click at wrong place in file manager will cost 10-15 mins delay. They're is probably tons of other unknown "underwater rocks" in such workflow. Large nas and tape library for backup/archive. Well constructed and maintained raid...

With 100tb you need a storage library, managing such amount of data just with lto drive will be PITA.

Yes that is. Look at the model's nomenclature, its still keeps the hgst pattern : HUS726T6TALE6L4

Now the hgst drives are "wd hgst dc 510, 520... etc series" . Cause of this double nomenclature, usually they are listed just "wd", sometimes "hgst" or both. Someone will concur that's "ultrastars" only, but looking at the price they"re between desktars and ultras. Ultrastars cost was almost...

Vdevs from 4, 6, 10 or 18 hdds . 10 or 6 are best choice.

My latest build - 86 TB usable, is a short of 20-30 TBs of the end goal needs. Additional parts already ordered . Chip-based memory tech grows fast but content creating devices aren't behind :) ....and 16x12tb hdd hgst 4kn raid10 array have a lovely performance :)

SMB file sharing quick tip: If you can afford it -disable smb sighning at the windows client too, not only at the SMB server. Via domain policy or local gpo, depend of the situation. Leave smb1 restrictions untouched. Same for macos.

Deeply concur. In terms of server hardware support I find Solaris right behind the windows and on par with linux. Solarish/BSD behind and of course MacOS at the at the bottom.

Solaris/sh. Storage and network sharing performance, beadm . If it's just a zfs based NAS, I can't see a reason to go away from Solaris for home and Omnios/OI for commercial . Hardware setup needs attention but there is a plenty of options.

For 1TB LTO tape is overkill. Plenty of other much more flexible and inexpensive solutions. Also keep in mind although the tapes are highly reliable, same can't be said for the tape devices/tape robotic libraries .
