I have a decent mini-PC hosting my files and containers. I plan to use more self-hosted services to store personal files like photos, videos, and music. Therefore, I need a NAS to provide more storage capacity and redundancy/parity to increase services' reliability.
The problem is that there are too many options, and it is hard to decide. I could also build one myself, but it requires a lot of time to research the correct components, which I do not have now. This is my first NAS, so buying a ready-to-go option seems more appropriate. If possible, I would like to choose the NAS OS. I don't need much horsepower for the NAS as I intend to use the mini-PC for demanding operations.
These are the options I'm considering:
- AOOSTAR WTR PRO 4 bay N100 Nas Mini PC
- ORICO MetaBox Pro 5 Bay NAS Storage System
- UGREEN NASync DXP4800
- TERRAMASTER F4-424 PRO
Could you please provide any advice?
