What do you have, what do you recommend, and why?

Asking as I’ve got a lot of spare components lying around that I’m planning on turning into a NAS. If it doesn’t work out I’ll buy a pre-built enclosure and reuse the drives.

    Go build it and use unraid. Synology makes good products but they put a pretty big markup on it. Besides building it will give you a better understanding of its architecture.

      Same. Having all their custom software available and just one click away is amazing, and with Docker you can install everything else just like a regular server. It’s the best of both worlds imo.
