Open Source Hardware NAS Box - Enquiries - 11-21-2023
Good Afternoon NAS Compares Team,
Do you know of any device like the Kobol - Helios64 Open Source NAS?
https://kobol.io/
The NAS form factor is the right size for my needs, coupled with the overall drive capacity it supports, the built in UPS is a nice feature to have included in the setup.
Also I would like to have full controll over the OS and software packages, that run on the NAS itself.
Kind Regards
Adam

Absolutely, the Kobol Helios64 is a fantastic choice for an open-source NAS. If you're looking for alternatives with similar form factors and a focus on giving you full control over the OS and software packages, I'd recommend checking out TrueNAS and Unraid. TrueNAS provides command-line capabilities, giving you that extra control you desire. On the other hand, Unraid boasts excellent Docker support for applications, adding a layer of flexibility to your setup. Both options offer robust solutions that align with your needs. Feel free to explore more and make the most of the Black Friday deals currently available (https://amzn.to/3QRCZyL).
