Hello everyone! I need your help choosing a NAS. (I don’t need a big one, a 2 bay model should suffice.) What are your recommendations?
(Not so long ago, I would have taken one from Synology, but it seems they now force us to use their own, too expensive, HDD.)
Roll your own with a Raspberry Pi.
Depending on the Pi, you will be limited to USB2 speeds.
@Limerance@piefed.social @Naich@lemmings.world Even with USB3, might be a bit short in speed. Don’t need to go to NVMe speed, but I think modern SATA HDD would be nice. Also, it will be put on a local network.
I get 120MB/s via local network sharing USB3 SATA HDD through a RPi 4b 4GB!
CWWK pocket NAS
@artyom@piefed.social It’s to stock RAW video footage (and photos) + edited video, don’t need to have SSD speed to it. (SATA speed will be plenty enough.) That said, thanks for the info, I didn’t know CWWK Pocket NAS existed.
Well they sell a N150 “development board” as well that has dual SATA. You can 3D print a case if necessary.
TerraMaster F4-423 and then replace the internal USB drive with a fresh one and install OpenMediaVault or TrueNas or whatever.
Very happy with my UGREEN. Though it’s my first so I don’t have anything to compare it to
Careful with the ugreen: I found if you get the cheaper option, you can’t hot-swap a disk anymore. They don’t make that really clear.
I got an older version of one of these and put some opensource software on it. I did proxmox cause it runs a bunch of stuff, not just nas stuff.
I got a Synology 2 bay for saving my memories of sailing the high seas. I
t has been fine thus far.
Nas - Represent is a great start.
I went with qnap. Synology, I think, can’t be trusted to stick with that policy reversal.
I bought an Asustor a few years ago. I would recommend it.
