This article was pretty low quality and seems to have been written by AI. It might be better browsing r/datahoarders or a similar online community to find some advice on building a 100TB+ NAS.
I think I agree that this was 100% bad AI generated.
The 100TB Build (~$2,500) is full of errors. The math doesn't add up as presented, the HDD prices are for used drives, and it confuses RAIDZ1 and mirroring together as "five drives as two mirrored pairs + spare = ~80TB usable."

I suspected this as well. It took me a bit to find confirmation, but the weirdly merged WD drives give it away.
Not to mention the pci-e card with contacts on both sides.
