New NAS or just mac mini with a DAS - Enquiries - 05-12-2025
Hi,
My first NAS was a DS211J followed by a DS214Play. At home we have al Iphones some ipads en a couple of Mac Computers/laptops.
I was wondering if my Mac mini (base M1 256gb/8gb) with a DAS would make more sence then a New NAS. The Mac Mini uses a little energie and i have 4TB of external ssd storage (one 2 tb and two 1 tb ssd's) I don't use my NAS anymore for Music and movie storage (spotify and streaming services) only Back-ups and file sharing.
Kind regards Jasper
