     @namedoesntfi I'm temped to roll my own NAS with the spare B550 mobo and Ryzen 5600G i have laying around but a decent case and HBA controller card alone will cost roughly €250.
     That is if you can find a case that fits a mATX mobo and ATX PSU. Most NAS oriented cases are ITX or mATX but only accept FlexATX PSU's. :tamamo_lay:
     
     That aside you can't beat low power consumption and small size of a turnkey NAS unit.
     
     Personally i've been eyeing the Terramaster F4-423 and QNAP TS-462

     @namedoesntfi The Terramaster does seem like the best bang for buck. I dig the HDMI port so i can just directly hook it to my TV and watch my stuff directly off the NAS.
     
     Asustor units have good specs for their price as well but its Asus and i have nothing but bad experiences with Asus.
     I saw some BF deals for Synology units but their specs are ass and you have to use their own brand of nvme and ram or they flat out don't work. GTFO with that shit. :akko_eew:

     Yeah, exactly.

     @namedoesntfi Their units will also constantly nag you about unsupported HDD's if you use non synology HDD's.
     The HDD will work but it disables certain features.
     
     Avoid synology like the plague.

     @Feinmuehrer @Spooke @namedoesntfi QNAP doesn't pull the shit jewnology does. I think you can also run your own OS on some QNAP units.

     @Spooke @Tamamo @namedoesntfi I'm way too retarded to do aynthing abole a box you plug HDDs into. Considering QNAP but no clue if that's better than jewnology.

     @Tamamo @Feinmuehrer @namedoesntfi ngl I was looking into 10 gbit thunderbolt drive enclosures for my future nas. Planning on just plugging it into a mini pc to use that as a nas. It doesn't even look that bad of an option at this point. If you want a tiny setup.

     @Spooke @Feinmuehrer @namedoesntfi I started looking into unraid since it allows you mix different size drives which would allot easier on the budget since i can just replace my old drives one by one with 8tb exos drives over the months until i have nice pool of 4. :zt_think:

     @Feinmuehrer @Spooke @Tamamo @namedoesntfi raid is not a backup. if you just want a backup simply buy 1-2 drives you can sync weekly/monthly
     
     raid meme boxes like soynaps, qnap and whatever are a waste of money for bad hardware, software and vendor lock in. any old computer with +4 hdd cages and truenas will be superior

     @Spooke @Tamamo @namedoesntfi I'm a brainlet, I already struggle to decide on the drive sizes and what raid setup to use. Trying to run a custom software on some nas box sounds like trying heart surgery to me, except I at least know the anatomy there.
     Really all I want is a funny box I throw some drives into so I can stop worrying that a failure will nuke my torrent library and all the manga I downloaded.

     @Feinmuehrer @Tamamo @namedoesntfi wouldn't you just be better off getting an asustor then since if you don't plan on using the asustor software you can just run truenas on it instead.

     @Feinmuehrer @Spooke @namedoesntfi RAID5 gives one disk redundancy in case one dies. Downside is that all disks need to be the same size.
     Jewnology, Terramaster and unRaid offer flexraid schemes where you can mix drives.
     
     Also unRaid is allot more noob friendly than truenas if you go custom software.

     @Feinmuehrer unRaid runs entirely from a usb stick so you can run it on some nas units.

     @Tamamo isn't unRaid an OS though? Sounds like a massive amount of hassle to switch os just for that.
     I looked at terramaster and I'm already more confused than I was earlier... Guess I should look at videos about this shit.
