HDDs make noise, you can only use them if you have more rooms than you need.

Nope

Everyone has a closet or cupboard under the stairs where a NAS can live. it doesnt need a room of its own.

But my argument was "a failing disk can just be swapped for another one with zero other hassle".

  • It might work for file storage, but I don't think the OS drives can be raided in a way that is hotswappable?

    • If your OS supports ZFS, I think you can, but I always put a lightweight OS on a separate drive, as it's for a NAS.
