Storage server (NAS/SAN) — buy in Kazakhstan

Disk shelves and storage servers: tens of terabytes for files, archives, video surveillance, and virtualization—cheaper than branded storage arrays with the same level of reliability.

A storage server based on Dell/HPE/Supermicro with TrueNAS, Ceph, or Windows Storage Spaces handles the same tasks as entry-level branded storage arrays but costs 2–3 times less and avoids vendor lock-in for drives.

How to choose: answering the main questions

Storage system or storage server: what is the difference?

Branded storage is a turnkey solution with vendor support and proprietary drive pricing. A storage server is a standard server platform with a high-capacity chassis and open-source software like TrueNAS or Ceph. For 90% of SMB tasks, the latter is more cost-effective and flexible.

What kind of network is needed for storage?

Minimum 10GbE for file access and virtualization; 25GbE if the storage serves datastores to multiple hypervisors. Onboard 1GbE is sufficient only for archives.

ZFS, Ceph, or hardware RAID?

ZFS (TrueNAS) is the best choice for single-node storage: integrity control, snapshots, and compression. Ceph is for when you need a cluster of 3+ nodes. Hardware RAID remains for Windows scenarios and simplicity.

FAQ

Which server should I choose for 50 TB of storage?

2U platform with 12 × 3.5″ drive bays: 8 × 10 TB in RAID6/RAIDZ2 provides ~55 TB of usable storage with spare slots. For example, Dell R730xd/R740xd or Supermicro 6028/6029.

Is this suitable for a video archive?

Yes, a storage server is a typical VMS repository: sequential write, high-capacity disks, RAID6. For recording 100+ cameras, we add a second network card and split the streams.

How much does a storage server cost in Kazakhstan?

Платформа на 12 отсеков — от 1,2 млн ₸ без дисков; полный комплект на 50 ТБ полезных — 2,5–3,5 млн ₸. Дешевле брендовой СХД в разы.

What about fault tolerance?

RAID6/RAIDZ2, hot-swappable drives, dual power supplies. For service continuity, consider replication to a second node or a Ceph cluster: we will design it according to your SLA.
