I am currently looking into upgrading storage for my homelab. The two routes I am looking at are grabbing a dell r730 or a disk array. They are both about the same price, but my major purchase concern is heat and noise. My office/homelab is in a 10x10 foot room. I have worked hard to get the sound floor at my desk to be around 44dB, and the temps to top off at 79f, 74 on a good day with the door open. Is a disk array going to add more heat and noise to the room than a dell r730 server running proxmox with trunas?

If I can find a good, cheap 4 bay nas that would be just as good. But I can’t seem to justify to myself to pay $200-$300 for a four bay nas when I can pay the same amount for other options that either have more storage or more compute. Don’t have much room or money, so most of my lab wears many hats, and I like to purchase tech that can fill as many holes as possible.
