I'm wanting to set up a private cloud with my family for archives and backups. The boomer generation is getting old and we're wanting to have some more resilient storage for memories.

Is a raspberry pi the best option these days or are there other solutions I should consider? Compactness is a factor so it can go in flight luggage. I'll be using reclaimed magnetic HDDs from my dad's old business for now.

EDIT: Aiming for ~£50 per unit with a maximum of £100.

@peterdroberts Does your price include storage?

Pi is fine for the performance you need, it’s just a question of how to stably attach storage.

The last thing you need is these remote using being delicate.

I would also suggest ZFS for the storage, which works fine on a Pi.
