“There’s no true “best” option for everyone when it comes to a NAS. There are many factors to consider, including price, storage capacity, features, noise, and power consumption. Solutions by Synology and other companies are sound choices if you wish to simply plug and play but they come with a few limitations. A Raspberry Pi is vastly more affordable, allows you to fine-tune how it’s all set up, is ideal for those who wish to not rely on company support, and it lets you master a NAS OS.”
