Looking advice for pre-built NAS i.e Synology/QNAP or DIY NAS - Enquiries - 12-28-2024

I want to build a Homelab server to support docker, virtualization, NAS, and media servers.

1. I was inclined toward making a DIY NAS because it will have better specs & upgradability options but a pre-built NAS will have OS support & better security I guess. I have a budget of $300-$400 for the device without an HDD.
2. Which one should I choose SSD/ HDD if I go for the pre-built machine.
